Thanks. Mike / Banks is cool and all, but it really was Chucks/McKeans time to shine.

Absolutely, and really if they didn't give Banks an Emmy for Five-0 then they're never gonna give him one. Just feels like a wasted nomination at this point.

 

[hydruxo]

Better Call Saul should win best drama, but sadly Westworld probably will because HBO.(and yes, I watched both shows this year, and BCS was so much better)

Also lol at Stranger Things overhype carrying it all the way to an Emmy nomination.

Get that bs out of here. Easily one of the best shows of 2016.

 

[DirtyManos]

Nothing for Legion and The Good Place really steams my banana.

 

[WaffleTaco]

It's a near-universally loved, quality show.

It's a good, not great show. A solid 4/5.

 

[jfkgoblue]

It's a near-universally loved, quality show.

I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it isn't Emmy worthy.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Yeah, going into this it was gonna bother me if they didn't get any recognition, but the Michael McKean thing has taken all my attention now.

 

[Westbahnhof]

It's a good, not great show. A solid 4/5.

Pheeeew.
More like 4.5 to 5, depending on rating rules.

 

[hydruxo]

I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it isn't Emmy worthy.

Well, clearly it was.

 

[MetalGearZed]

No McKean has really got me fucked up. I don’t understand at all.
season 1 was Bank's best shot
McKean was absolutely stellar in s3 and had more screen time (i think) and much more defining moments.

Spoiler

Mike wasn’t even in the damn finale for god's sake

 

[John Dunbar]

i watched the first episode of westworld on a plane some time ago. didn't seem very good so never had any interest in watching the rest. hbo hype getting all the noms.

 

[Enduin]

Isn't the Emmy voting still all f'd up now that they opened it up to like everyone in the industry so networks just get every employee they can on as a voter?

Is the nomination still limited to groups or did that expand as well?

I know the FYC mailers situation is worse than ever, though I don't think Netflix sent out 20 pounds worth of it this year.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Get that bs out of here. Easily one of the best shows of 2016.

I wouldn't put it top 5 though

My order of dramas that I watched this year:

1-Better Call Saul

2-Legion

3-Taboo

4-House of Cards

5-Westworld

 

[RastaMentality]

I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it isn't Emmy worthy.

If House of Cards' dreadful last season can get nominated, stranger things should.

 

[jfkgoblue]

If House of Cards' dreadful last season can get nominated, stranger things should.

I liked House of Cards past season more though...

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it isn't Emmy worthy.

"Emmy-worthy" sort of implies the Emmys don't routinely fuck it up in way worse ways year after year than nominating Stranger Things.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Where's Michael McKean?

I love Jonathan Banks but McKean did way more this season.

 

[MetalGearZed]

At least Rachel Bloom gets golden globe nominations :'(

I think Bloom is one best comedic female actors ive seen. Im watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend s2 right and her body language cracks me up.
sad that she's over looked

 

[Jigorath]

Barb got a best guest actress nom for Stranger Things haha.

Thought you were joking but NOPE, she actually got nominated lmao

 

[brickarts295]

Member Berries episode from South Park got nominated XD

 

[sixteen-bit]

Happy to see Atlanta represented.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I'm more interested for next year, to see if Twin Peaks season 3 gets anything.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm more interested for next year, to see if Twin Peaks season 3 gets anything.

Outstanding Limited Series easily.

Edit: Oh if it's technically Season 3 I guess it'd qualify for Drama?

 

[MetalGearZed]

I know Master of None won't so im not even gonna get my hopes up but am very glad to see it nominated

 

[jfkgoblue]

"Emmy-worthy" sort of implies the Emmys don't routinely fuck it up in way worse ways year after year than nominating Stranger Things.

You're right, at least it is still a good show, even if people hype it up far too much.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Desus & Mero didn't get a nom?!

This is the only thing that matters

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I'm more interested for next year, to see if Twin Peaks season 3 gets anything.

I think the only way it gets in is on name recognition at this point; it's gone too far into Lynch country to get recognition on an awards show like this otherwise.

MacLachlan might be ok though.

 

[Linkura]

Glad Ann Dowd got dat nom. Really did great work making you love/hate Aunt Lydia.

 

[zaryn]

Odenkirk got fucking robbed.

I don't think the list in the OP is complete, because he's certainly listed here as a nominee: http://m.emmys.com/sites/default/files/Downloads/69th-nominations-key-categories-v1ko.pdf

yeah, some categories are conspicuously missing

 

[tryagainlater]

Preach brother. She's amazing.

 

[Joeku]

For how much people were open-mouth agape at the pilot when it came out, I'm surprised Legion's snub isn't getting more talk.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

As left field as it is, I really hope next year is Twin Peaks' takeover.

Now my main question is how the fuck is Mr. Robot not on here?

 

[jfkgoblue]

For how much people were open-mouth agape at the pilot when it came out, I'm surprised Legion's snub isn't getting more talk.

Legion would have been the best show on TV most years, but Better Call Saul was just so good, that I kinda forgot about legion tbh.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

No 13RW nods :/

Glad to see Master of None getting nods especially Angela Bassett for Guest Comedy Actress. She was amazing in that episode. Also happy to see Atlanta nominated.

Funny seeing the ERB guys getting an Emmy nod but deservedly so.

They made sure not to nominate Trump by snubbing The Apprentice lol 😂

 

[n00bsauce87]

Best Comedy is so fucking stacked. Anyone could legitimately win.

They also picked the right episode of Black Mirror to be nominated

 

[wenis]

Also lol at Stranger Things overhype carrying it all the way to an Emmy nomination.

too bad its hype couldn't actually lift that show to being anywhere near good.

 

[Ivan 3414]

It's a good, not great show. A solid 4/5.

Agreed, there's nothing about it that's worthy of high accolades but it's a good watch.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Michael McKean (Chuck McGill - Better Calll Saul) deserved a nom for this season.Oh, there is no supporting category? Scratch that.
Atlanta was weird and i like it. Hope it wins.

Michael McKean(Squiggy forever) and Mandy Moore were the robberies this year. Mandy Moore carried This is Us at times.

 

[Sanke__]

I'm pulling for
Ewan McGregor
Reese Witherspoon
Thandie Newton
And Last week tonight

All were absolutely outstanding

leftovers robbed

Yeah
Not surprised in the least

Leftovers is too good for an Emmy anyway

 

[WaffleTaco]

So Uzo Aduba got nominated for OITNB, but the series didn't get nominated for anything? Which Season was she nominated for, because the series didn't premier till mid-June.

Also OP House of Cards got nominated for Best Drama as well.

 

[Joeku]

Legion would have been the best show on TV most years, but Better Call Saul was just so good, that I kinda forgot about legion tbh.

TBH I feel like the last couple episodes really didn't deliver, but certain parts of the season (namely direction, Jemaine Clement, and Aubrey Plaza) were fucking outstanding.

 

[-griffy-]

I don't think the list in the OP is complete, because he's certainly listed here as a nominee: http://m.emmys.com/sites/default/files/Downloads/69th-nominations-key-categories-v1ko.pdf

Oh yeah, there are 7 nominees in Best Actor this year for some reason. Weird.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

I know Master of None won't so im not even gonna get my hopes up but am very glad to see it nominated

Trust me. It's winning.

 

[jfkgoblue]

TBH I feel like the last couple episodes really didn't deliver, but certain parts of the season (namely direction, Jemaine Clement, and Aubrey Plaza) were fucking outstanding.

Aubrey Plaza was absolutely fantastic in
it, she really stole the spotlight.

 

[Sanke__]

Aubrey Plaza was robbed

 

[J_Viper]

Is this the first time Colbert's been nominated since the Report? It's well earned.

His new show started off as a dumpster fire, but in the recent months it's been solid.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Trust me. It's winning.

Comedy series? Nope.

That'll either go to Veep or Atlanta.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Isn't the Emmy voting still all f'd up now that they opened it up to like everyone in the industry so networks just get every employee they can on as a voter?

Is the nomination still limited to groups or did that expand as well?

I know the FYC mailers situation is worse than ever, though I don't think Netflix sent out 20 pounds worth of it this year.

Judging from my Living room it's about 30. And as far as I know, it's still hard to get into the academy. Someone has to get you in.

 

[dead souls]

Westworld: 22

Look Ma, another year where the Emmys lavish nominations on an HBO mediocrity.

 

[Impeccable]

Congrats to Elizabeth Moss in advance.
