There’s so many I don’t watch although, at least, this year I a
Have heard of most of them. The ones I do watch, I’m happy with and think they are deserving. But, I can’t say someone doesn’t belong because I just don’t know!

I had a feeling this would happen...Viola Davis wasn’t nominated for How to Get Away With Murder. I expected it, but really thought the episode at the beginning of the season when she was in rehab was a masterclass I acting. That’s the only thing I’m bummed about. Otherwise, there’s few categories that I would care about who wins. (Would always go with Jodie Comer and Killing Eve, but not sure the series was good enough this year.)

Happy to see "What We Do in the Shadows" be nominated. I thought I was the only one who saw the merit in this series.

What has happened to network tv, there are very few nominations, cable, premium cable channels, and streaming platforms really cleaned up. And WTH, Russell Crowe wasn't nominated for The Loudest Voice, he gives a masterclass performance in it.

Lots of great nominees here. I'm pulling for Shira Haas and Unorthodox for drama.

@deepwaterdotter You're not the only one who loves What We Do In The Shadows, I do too! I finally watched the NZ movie that the series was based on the other night, when FX showed it. It was OK, but I like the series a lot better.

I wish they would honor the actors in tv and stop awarding instant nominations to well known movie actors who decide to transition. The Emmys shouldn't look like the Oscars.

Disappointed only one nomination for the Netflix limited series Unbelievable.

This was one of my favorite series. The acting was outstanding by all of the actresses.

Paul Reiser deserved a nom for Kominsky Method, he was wonderful!!

Please tell me I’m just not seeing Rhea Seahorn for Better Call Saul? She’s amazing in her role, understated but can say a million things without a word.

I agree, she deserves the recognition. Maybe next year.

Hoping Regina King wins for Watchmen. She is a wonderful actor and I would love to see her get some props.

Re: Emmy nominations

Shelbelle — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 23:31:02 GMT

Glad to see Hollywood got a few noms, Dylan McDermott in particular, but I also thought Joe Mantello was amazing as D ick Samuels.

I just went back to ew.com (where I copied the list). They always have a "what they got wrong" article and she and Bob Odenkirk were the first names mentioned. In that critic's opinion, they both gave the best performances of the year. I think the Emmys like to either give the nomination to the same people year after year (sometimes deserved, sometimes not) or to the new shiny thing.

Word is is that Reese Witherspoon was snubbed, but I also think Viola Davis was snubbed for her phenomenal acting in How to get away with Murder!

To me this list reads so similar to years previous, the Emmy's seem to nominate a lot of the same people year after year!

Thank-you for posting!

Utterly predictable and no, I won't be watching. It really is too bad the former major networks continue to be under-achievers.

Viola Davis won Best Actress in a leading role once for How to Get Away with Murder.

Hollywood is probably jealous of Reese. She also produced and developed all of those television series this past season etc. She is making tons of money on them.
