2019 Primetime Emmy Nominations

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Carmen Ejogo and Stephen Dorff didn't even get nominated in the Supporting Actress/Actor in a limited series

Both True Detective and Chernobyl deserved even more nominations in their categories.

 

[hex]

They weren't "filling out" exactly. If you look each category got at least 1-2 or more names from the cast. They all acted their ass off. If there were other performances worthy of being in those categories then they would be there. Who got snubbed? I don't see anyone naming actors that should be there instead

The filling out comment has nothing to do with this year specifically. They nominated Michael C. Hall for season 6 of "Dexter".

The fact that "The Wire" was ignored for most of it's run tells you everything you need to know about the Emmys. It has very little to do with what's the best, or most talented. Occasionally there's overlap. And nah, I don't think anyone "acted their asses off" during the final season of "GOT". There was a couple scenes, that's about it. For example Lena Heady is a great actress but she did literally nothing during the final season.

To your first point I wasn't paying no mind to the Emmy's when The Wire was around but to keep it about this year.... if you think the acting performances were unremarkable, I asked what was snubbed? Nobody has said "this should have been nominated" or "this actor or actress got fukked over" ....

I can see in the limited series category obviously Chernobyl and True Detective to me both should have gotten more noms but they are not in the same category as Thrones

The disrespect for the cast of Succession

 

[Tasha And]

GoT actors are getting nominated as a lifetime achievement/popularity award. Has nothing to do with Sophie Turner and Kit Harrington acting their ass off in season 8.

 

[jwinfield]

For example Lena Heady is a great actress but she did literally nothing during the final season.

She stared out a window most of the season. The most acting she did was in the last scene when she was freaking out right before the building collapsed.

I don't remember Brienne doing anything other than crying when Jamie left.

fukking ridiculous

 

[Jello Biafra]

If that's the case why is Sophie Turner up there?

And let's keep it real here....while "GOT" has a lot of talent nobody really stood out in the final season. It was by far the weakest acted season in the entire series.

But the Emmys are notorious for nominating shows well past their prime ("Dexter" and "Homeland" come to mind) just to fill out the category, so it is what it is.

Fred.

I think Emilia Clarke did wonders with the absolute bullshyt she was tasked with by the writers in this final season.

 

[obarth]

The only issue I have with the love GoT received is that they got directing and writing nominations. Despite the hyperbole that has become cool to use for the final season, those two areas(especially writing) were the only (very) subpar areas. If Ozark, an admittedly enjoyable show, can get the number of nominations it did, I can't get too up in arms over Thrones. House of Cards got nominations for fukks sakeTrue Detective not getting nominated for either Series category is the biggest head scratcher for me.

This isn't a good look for the state of TV in general, though. Some of these shows wouldn't sniff a nomination 5-10 years ago. Limited series are carrying the load right now.

Good looking out...I got busy with work and hadn't had a chance to go back to the HR site to check for updates.

 

[Jello Biafra]

The lack of love for The Good Fight is fukked up.

The show deserved best Drama and writing/directing nominations.
Christine Baranski, Delroy Lindo, Audra McDonald all deserved acting noms and Michael Sheen definitely deserved a Guest Actor on a Drama Series nom.

The (bad and lack of) writing had a real impact on the chances for the actors to shine, though. Season 8 barely had any dialogue in it compared to other seasons.



Aside from episode 1-2, actors did a whole lot of staring with very short conversations. I'm struggling to remember any Alfie Allen dialogue at all.

 

[mannyrs13]

Hope Barry wins best comedy and Bill Hader best actor. GOT likely favorite but the last season sucked so BCS has a chance. Alfi and Maisie are my picks for best supporting.

Definitely

The Good Wife aired on regular CBS and stayed getting nominations throughout its run. You think CBS streaming not being more polar--or at least compared to Netflix, Amazon, Hulu- that it is not getting acknowledged/forgotten?
