Rather than a big rant, which is really what I have on my Youtube, I figured let’s go in true Awards fashion and have our own little awards. So, here are my awards for the Emmy nominations.

Biggest Surprises (That Got nominated)

And the nominees are…

Obi Wan Kenobi for Best Limited Series

All The Extra White Lotus Nominees Beyond What Everyone Predicted (Drama Supporting Actor and Actress)

jury Duty for Best Comedy Series

Sharon Hogan for Best Actress In A Drama

Lizzy Caplan for Fleischman Is In Trouble in Best Actresss in a Limited Series

Kathryn Hahn for Tiny Beautiful Things in Best Actress in a Limited Series

most Welcome Surprises (that got nominated)

James Marsden for Jury Duty (Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy)

A Black ladies Sketch Show in Variety (right after it got cancelled)

Brian Cox for Succession despite a lack of screentime in lead Actor

Did they just nominate the little kid from The LAst of Us in Guest Actor?

BIGGEST SNUBS (that most people were projecting)

Harrison Ford (Shrinking)- Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy

Lisa Ann Walter (Abbott Elementary) in Best Supporting Actress

Tony Shaloub (The Marvelous ms Maisel) Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy

Any Supporting Actor Not In The White Lotus Or Succession

Reality in Best TV Movie

Shows The Emmy Voters Need To Watch:

The Boys (Amazon)

Atlanta (FX)

What We Do In The Shadows (FX)

Yellowstone (Paramount Network)

The Traitors (Peacock)

The Great (Hulu)

There are always nominees that baffle me. But, one of the things I dislike the most about how they vote this year was amplified by the asinine Supporting Actor category for Drama Series. If the Emmy voters don’t start watching more shows, and being willing to not just sweepingly nominate the entire cast, the ratings will continue to go down.
