OFFICIAL Emmy Nominations Thread

Hopefully, Jonathan and Matt will be nominated for Fellow Travelers, along with the show.

These are important

Eight to ten nominees per category. Big deal. Practically everything get a nomination.

If they want to be impressive, dial it back down to five. Or three per category.

Otherwise, it's giving Oprah-car giveaway energy.

Everyone gets a nomination! You get one! And you get one! Yawn.

Three would be good.

JLC will not be sleeping tonight.

Jessica Gunning better get nominated for Baby Reindeer. She was brilliant.

R7, I came here to say the same thing. Did you see her on the Outlaws on Prime?

That Bear shit better not take it all 💤

I'm praying Jamie Leigh Curtis doesn't get something "special" for The Bear?

God I know

INSUFFERABLE

The Drama nominations might be interesting because there’s no massive front-runner like Succession was last year. Shogun will do well, but without a cast of heavyweights, it won’t have a chokehold on the acting categories.

The Bear is going to dominate the Comedy categories, though, which will be boring. Hacks and Only Murders will settle for the scraps.

[quote][R7], I came here to say the same thing. Did you see her on the Outlaws on Prime?

Hilarious! I also wish the other women would get Supporting nominations. Clare Perkins (the activist) and Eleanor Tomlinson (the Instagram girl) were also very good.

Have you seen all seasons? Below is a potential spoiler if you haven’t:

When Jessica gets locked in that Porto-Potty was hilarious, especially when she came rolling out.

Outlaws was fantastic

[quote]The Drama nominations might be interesting because there’s no massive front-runner

Baby Reindeer. Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning and Tom Goodman-Hill should all get nominations.

Baby Reindeer will be in Limited Series, not in Drama.

Drama Series will be Shogun, The Crown, and a ton of shows that would never get in without the strike delays like Slow Horses (which is apparently very good, but would be ignored in a normal year).

Honestly, what are the feelings about more than 5 noms in the categories? I've hated it since the Oscars made it hip in 2010.

I don’t like it. It just means that the biggest shows rack up a ton of filler nominations. People vote for everyone on The Bear or Succession or The Crown, then ignore everyone else. It makes the nominations less interesting, not more.

Slow Horses is excellent and deserves some recognition

I think Uzo Aduba farted this year, so I’m sure she will get nominated.

I honestly didn't like anything enough this year to care. So as long as Emma Stone doesn't win, I'm fine.

I only watch Tubi. I'm poor. They should have an Emmy awards just for Tubi. Best black comedy. Best Norman Lear comedy. Best comedy no older than 10 years.

I’m hoping RIPLEY gets nomonations. I know it dodn’t get the ratings but it was brilliant TV in every category.

Ripley will at least get nominations for Andrew Scott, plus a ton of technical ones.

I didn’t love it as much as R23, but it was an amazing technical achievement. I don’t see how it could lose the Cinematography Emmy.

The Bear and Beef seem to dominate. I wonder if House of the Dragon will get anything?

House of Dragon premiered after the deadline, R25. It won’t get anything until next year. Beef is out until the next installment, which will star Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan.

Palm Royale, which had hour long episodes and was funny, is in the running for a Best Comedy nod, along with The Bear, which has almost no laughs and had some of the most intense drama scenes of the past season, but had 30 minute episodes.

I like The Bear, but it doesn’t belong in Comedy. Hell, Succession was funnier.

Jamie Lee is predicted to WIN best Guest Star in a Comedy for The Bear!! She’s definitely getting nominated.

Palm Royale was dreadful

Glad Amazing Race is nominated again.

Matt Bomer, Andrew Scott and Jodie Foster nominated for limited series or movie.

Emmy voters do love The Morning Show, don't they?

Walter Goggins for Fallout!

Drama Series:

The Crown

Fallout

The Gilded Age

The Morning Show

3 Body Problem

Comedy Series:

Abbott Elementary

The Bear

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Hacks

Glad “Abbott” was nominated. Such a great show.

Abbott Elementary is a DEI piece of shit.

R37, you clearly haven’t watched it.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

Matt Bomer, Fellow Travelers

Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer

Jon Hamm, Fargo

Tom Hollander, Feud: Capote Vs. the Swans

Andrew Scott, Ripley

Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Tom Hollander and Treat Williams nominated for Capote Vs. the Swans.

[quote]Matt Bomer, Fellow Travelers

Jonathan Bailey nominated in supporting category.

[quote] [R37], you clearly haven’t watched it.

Except I have and I didn't laugh once. And that horrifying little homunculus who created it is hard to look at.

NO Emma Stone.

[quote]Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Tom Hollander and Treat Williams nominated for Capote Vs. the Swans.

Treat Williams died over two years ago.

Is that the longest posthumous nomination?

And no Jamie Lee Curtis. Olivia Colman got nominated for The Bear, instead.

[quote] Treat Williams died over two years ago.

Treat Williams died in June 2023, dumb ass.

Matt Berry! Finally!

Yes, Berry is hysterical in Shadows and I'm glad the show was nominated again, too. It's the one show that makes me laugh out loud these days.

Curtis and Colman were both nominated for The Bear.

Even though Emma Stone wasn't nominated, Gladstone was. She and Kali Reis are the first two indigenous actresses nominated, and wlll compete against each other in Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

I'm glad he wasn't overlooked but Jonathan Bailey should have been in lead with Matt Bomer. Their roles were equal in importance and screen time in my opinion. Also, the series should have been nominated for best limited series.

The fact that Kali Reis was nominated tells you there's nothing approximating talent going into the decisions. She is one of the worst "actresses" ever nominated for an award. She should never appear in anything again.

Fellow Travelers was an utter snore and Bomer was horribly miscast. It's lucky it got what it did.

Bowen Yang???!!! Are you kidding me?

Three guesses why Bowen was nominated.

Matthew Broderick got a nomination for playing Matthew Broderick on Only Murders.

La Cooper didn't get nominated for his Abbot cameo and he played himself by the way. Who's on suicide watch?

JLC was nominated in Guest Comedy Actress.

Bowen Yang is another overrated hack like Leslie Jones. Jones didn't deserve the Emmy nods she got during her SNL run.

No nod for Ricky Martin?

That fucking cunt Holland Taylor got an Emmy nod for The Morning Show. I wonder if her cunt girlfriend Sarah Paulson called in favors for her.

The horse woman known as Olivia Colman got an undeserved nomination for The Bear.

Who is the idiot that keeps saying that JLC wasn’t nominated for The Bear? From the second the “Fishes” episode aired, it was clear that she would win the Emmy.

Is that you, Angela?

For those who have watched, is The Morning Show really that good? It doesn't pique my interest, but I will give it a try if it really is that outstanding.

Love Reservation Dogs. It sucks you in as a comedy and then stomps all over your heart.

I'm glad Kali Reiss was nominated for supporting in True Detective. She was excellent.

Why was Jessica Gunning not put in Lead for Baby Reindeer?

R63, The Morning Show is completely absurd, but it lets its actors chew the scenery in ridiculously entertaining ways.

Even if you'll never get past the sneaking suspicion that you're watching the worst prestige television show ever made, you'll never be bored.

Aside from Martin Short, the Only Murders nominations are a joke. I didn’t even like Ms. Streep in it, let alone Selena Gomez, Paul Rudd, and Matthew Broderick.

Meryl has been over since her Weinstein comments. A fourth rate supporting role on a sitcom isn’t anything to brag about.

The Morning Show is still on? Who subscribes to Apple TV? Anyone? Talk about filler nominations.

The Morning Show is grossly overrated, and I say that as someone who watched the first season, thought that was only passable, and rhen garve the whole series up when the first episode of season 2 had all the actors looking and behaving differently than they had in season one. It no longer made an sense and I realized I didn’t care about any of the characters. anyway.

I’m no fan of Billy Crudup, but he was the only actor who gave a consistently excellent performance. Reese Wiitherspoon was particularly weak.

Is Reese still doing her “I’m a dyke now!” shtick on The Morning Show?

There should be an Emmy category for Best Terrible Show You Can’t Stop Watching. The Morning Show would be a frontrunner.

I watch the Morning Show, but I'm one of the viewers who is not a fan of Reese Witherspoon's character. Very much a miscast and the love story between her character and Juliana Margolis' character was not convincing in the least. Both looked very uncomfortable.

That said, Billy Crudup, Jon Hamm, Greta Lee, Nicole Beharie, Karen Pittman and Holland Taylor deserved their nods.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office didn’t get any attention even though it effectively created change in the UK.

Nepo baby Lewis Pullman shouldn't have been nominated for Lessons in Chemistry.

[quote]Mr Bates vs The Post Office didn’t get any attention even though it effectively created change in the UK.

I know it aired on PBS in the US and is therefore technically eligible for the Emmys, but isn't it too UK-centric and therefore too niche?

Yeah, but it has had no profile on TV in the U.S. I haven’t read one major review of it in the NY Times, Vulture, Deadline ,etc. It’s just not on the radar here.

Anything Jennifer Aniston does will get Emmy attention. They have a serious boner for her.

[quote]isn't it too UK-centric and therefore too niche?

You could say that about Baby Reindeer. I guess that’s the difference in publicity. Bates v PO had the universal message of Everyman taking on Big Government machine. Baby Reindeer had a crazy stalker.

Lessons in Chemistry was a piece of crap.

Was there no love for any of the Season 2 of Julia? Brittany Bradford did excellent work as Alice.

If people don't know the backstory of the Post Office scandal, though (and don't bother to read up on it), it's not going to draw their attention. I live in the Netherlands and it was shown on public TV here (got good reviews, I think, but not-so-great ratings), but the story was only covered by the media here after journalists started comparing it to the child-benefits scandal that brought down the government here a few years ago.

"Baby Reindeer" had a lurid, and some might say hypnotic, appeal from the very first scene.

Deadline analysis:

THR analysis:

Nava Mau getting a nomination for Baby Reindeer has to be a joke. She gave the worst performance I've ever seen. Allison Williams should have gotten in over her.

She actually didn’t, R84. Go back to the Baby Reindeer threads and she was lauded. She was great in the show and I think she deserved the nod.

Nava Mau had the most self-conscious performance in that whole show. I don't believe they formally trained as an actor. TERFs will be enraged. They do have a point in saying that Elliot Page will never be nominated for "Best Actor" alongside Chalamet/Mescal/Hiddleston/Cumberbatch/whoever because men are taken more seriously, and Page will never be truly seen as a man.

Wow, this was a bad year and e eryone and its cousin is being no nominated.

The Crown was horrible and, except for Debicki, miscast. The Gilded Age, ditto. Palm Royale for the last episode alone should involve suspending all involved for some time. I find The Bear boring, self important and overrated. Liked Shogun and Hacks, and Mr and Mrs Smith for his shorts appearances. Except for Tom, the Swans in Capote didn’t deserve the nominations as well. Scott Thomas should have been nominated for Slow Horses (a great show even if not as good as the books).

Thetre are not many outstanding shows going on. As such, count me in for thinking The Morning Show wildly entertaining even if soapy. Except for Witherspoon i like almost everyone in it, all camping it out like crazy.

Baby Reindeer's Nava Mau was filmed at such angles it became distracting

*at such *odd* angles, sorry

Elizabeth Debicki has Marfan syndrome. Her nomination was a sympathy nomination.

[quote]Scott Thomas should have been nominated for Slow Horses (a great show even if not as good as the books).

Agreed. She plays well off Gary Oldham.

R88, the way I sometimes think about The Morning Show is that if it were a better show, it would be less interesting. The producers don't have the chops to make it a great drama, so at least they throw some crazy shit out there.

Reese went to space last season! On a better show, that would be a jump the shark moment. On The Morning Show, it's just your typical episode.

[quote]Walter Goggins for Fallout!

Oh, dear.

Sarah Lancashire in Julia definitely deserved a nomination over Aniston.

Was that little homosexual boy Matt Boner nominated?

Shippers rejoice!

That Television Movie category is just sad. Red, White and Royal Blue might win just for being an actual hit.

Emmy voters actually nominated that awful Pop Tarts movie Unfrosted. It's not like there weren't other choices, like that Jessica Lange dementia drama that got decent reviews and had at least an air of respectability.

It's Jerry Seinfeld R98. Of course, they'll kiss his ass.

Julia Louis Dreyfuss has how many undeserved Emmys?

R99 JLD deserves all of hers.

Paul Downs deserves to win for Hacks. I thought he was the standout of season 3. He needs to leave his faux wife at home on Emmy night.

Paul’s character reveal that his mother is Deirdre Hall was absolutely hysterical. I wish Deirdre had been nominated for guest!

Wish Lisa Ann Walter or Chris Perfetti would get nominated from Abbott.

I thought Lisa had a much stronger year than Janelle James.

But as a whole, Abbott had its weakest season this year.

R97 RWRB frau dreck gets a nom but Fellow Travelers gets snubbed. Think Trump's the next prez.

I can’t count the number of times Selena’s Gomez read her lines off a cue card. I’m not in the business and a casual, uninformed viewer, and I noticed. Sometimes she would never make eye contact with her costars, too busy looking off screen.

Fellow Travelers noms in the Limited Series category:

Matt Bomer - Best Actor

Jonathan Bailey - Best Supporting Actor

Ron Nyswaner - Best Writer (Ep 1)

**Selena, stupid autocorrect

Jonathan Bailey and Andrew Scott are dating. I wonder if they will go to the Emmys together as a couple?

“Meryl has been over since her Weinstein comments.”

What are you talking about? I read today that she may be in a Joni Mitchell biopic directed by Cameron Crowe.

I felt bad that Jessica Lange was not nominated but it was a long shot. They put her name in on the last day.

Everybody gets a nomination!!!

[quote]I'm glad he wasn't overlooked but Jonathan Bailey should have been in lead with Matt Bomer. Their roles were equal in importance and screen time in my opinion.

If they nominated both for lead actor, they would cancel each other out. This way - in separate categories - they each have a better chance to win an Emmy without competing with each other.

The Fellow Travelers story was mostly about Matt’s character and he had the most screen time. Most of Jonathan’s scenes had Matt in them, too. Therefore, his role was supporting. Hope they both win. They played their parts extremely well and their chemistry was 🔥

Give it to Jodie Foster.

Either Fellow Travelers or True Detective Night Country should win. I'd be happy for a tie.

How many noms did AND JUST LIKE THAT get?

I’m disappointed for Abby Elliot, Cosmo Jarvis and Devery Jacobs but oh well.

They have to stop allowing the Bear to compete as a comedy. It’s outrageous that this goes on.

Cosmo Jarvis was the weakest part of Shogun. He didn’t deserve a nomination. But he’s getting a second season so there’s that.

Maya Rudolph is up for three Emmys.

The Bear is not a comedy.

The Bear is a dark comedy

R119 She's a nepo baby.

R108, isn’t Jonathan Bailey married to someone else?

True Detective wasn't liked either by the audiences or the critics, how some here are predicting it to win is beyond me.

r123 I don't think he and Ellis actually ever married.

Surely Jonathan and Matt exchanged sperm during the shoot.

R125 Sure, just like people actually murder people and actually jump off cliffs and actually crash cars during movies. If the acting is good, it looks very real, though, doesn’t it?

Isn’t Bailey still in a relationship with Fra Fee, the Irish actor with the really stupid name?

Expats deservedly snubbed! And Nicole was really campaigning for that nomination.

"The Bear is not a comedy and it’s time to stop pretending it is"

"Biggest snubs and surprises":

True Detective was awful. It was critically acclaimed, though. How? Payola.

Big fan of "The Bear' and I totally agree.

....that it's not a comedy.

Reacher, snubbed!

The Bear seasons 1 and 2 were very much dark comedies. Sorry, but there was a lot of humorous undertones throughout. It goes over the average persons head though.

Season 3 is a complete drama.

[quote]I’m disappointed for Abby Elliot, Cosmo Jarvis and Devery Jacobs but oh well.

I would argue that nearly everyone else in "Reservation Dogs" is better than D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. Stunned that out of everyone on that show, he's the one with a nomination.

Cosmo Jarvis always has the worst of luck when it comes to awards. He's been in two or three Irish films up for IFTAs and his costars all receive nominations and he gets left out.

[quote] I would argue that nearly everyone else in "Reservation Dogs" is better than D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. Stunned that out of everyone on that show, he's the one with a nomination.

This should tell you exactly why they voted for him. That name alone checks fifty boxes.

Agreed, r136, I thought his acting was flat. He was always supported by those around him, like the ghost Indian. I liked Cheese (Cheez?) the best. My favorite episode of the series was when the older guys took him for a camp out and fishing, and he turned it into a counseling session, using techniques he learned in juvie. Funny and sad episode.

Every episode of Reservation Dogs was great, but the Deer Lady episode was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Kaniehtiio Horn should be up for Guest Actress.

Ben Mendelsohn and Juliet Binoche for The New Look. The story wasn’t that good but the two of them were brilliant.

R101/R102 if Downs wasn't the producer he wouldn't even be IN the show. Get that glaucoma fixed, grandpas.

R140, I thought Emily Mortimer was also damn great playing a difficult role.

Yeah, I loved Lane Factor who played Cheese on Reservation Dogs. The entire cast was so great.

I’m glad they wrapped it up though before Olivia Coleman showed up on the reservation. I’m so sick of her.

Agree about Cosmo Jarvis, R136. It’s surprising he isn’t even mentioned among his co-stars. Maybe that’s just awards strategy, they don’t want to distract from the 25 nominations they did get.

The last film I saw in a cinema, the night before lockdown started in the UK, was Calm With Horses which has an incredible lead performance from Cosmo Jarvis, he’s so magnetic in it, with such presence and vulnerability. And when the BAFTA nominations came out, later that year, Calm With Horses was nominated for 4 BAFTAs including Best British Film, Best Supporting Actor - Barry Keoghan, Best Supporting Actress - some nobody, even Best Casting! But no nomination for Cosmo Jarvis who is the entire film. He did get a BIFA nomination though and Best British/Irish Actor of the Year from London Critics Circle.

I’m sure it’s how he booked Shogun.

^^ Meant the last time I was in a cinema pre-pandemic

Btw, there were only 4 of us there! (The best)

R138 Agree that the actor who played Cheese should have been nominated for Rez Dogs—he created a fully realized and memorable character.

I’m finally getting around to watching Shogun (it’s fantastic) and I agree, Cosmo Jarvis definitely should have been nominated.

Not only is sexy and MANLY in it, he’s a really good actor.

I've started my annual Emmy nominee viewing and with the highest number of noms, I started Shogun. Got through the first episode...please let me know if other episodes are better. I just felt like it was a slog to get through number 1.
