Emmy's annual square dance is here – out of habit, it's a routine of three steps forward, two steps back. This year even allowed more space than usual for the unexpected since several major players from last year – Veep, Master of No, Better Call Saul, House of Cards – have taken this season of awards. And to be sure, the TV Academy has undeniably improved in their taste as a voting body over the years. Nevertheless, they still scratched our heads a few times. Where the hell is Will and Grace ? And Bojack Horseman ? And Brendan Fraser in Trust ? And … and …
So, with all the 122 (!!) categories announced, choose the most notable snobs of the year. From Billions to Alison Brie, it was Mr.I.A.
Twin Peaks: The Return
Yes, of course, maybe some voters did not "understand" – but they could not seize the opportunity to propose the Most critically acclaimed television show of the decade? Hellooooo! The return of David Lynch to his groundbreaking TV series was the most talked about TV event of last year, and he got some technical nominations, including one for the direction of the episode 8 filmmaker … and not only did not get a nomination for Best Limited Series, but the entire cast ran out as well. Laura Dern will be on the red carpet for her work in The Tale, but she should have been a double candidate this year for her. (The infamous scene of Diane's introduction should have given her an appointment.) Naomi Watts? Robert Forster? Even a nod to the late Miguel Ferrer would have been acceptable.
Of course, the most criminal snob of all day must be Kyle MacLachlan, bravely returning to several roles in the Lynchverse and delivering some of the most unforgettable performance (s) of 2017. How do you name him NOT for the balancing act that he did as the Cooper agent and forever, ignoring Dougie Jones? He was as intrepid as the game show, and he will now go into history as one of the best known of the Academy.
The Go od Place [19659008] A small shout of joy broke out from the fans of Good Place when the name of Ted Danson was was read aloud, letting hope that this general upturn of the past year would have had a fruitful morning this year. Unfortunately, Danson is the only one to escape from the bad place of Emmy Snubbery. Where is Kristen Bell? William Jackson Harper? D'Arcy "Janet" Carden?!? Especially, where is the nomination for Comedy Series for what is easily the best sitcom on network television? And have you really not nominated any writing team for this brilliant show? Much has been said about the disappearance of quality programming on broadcast networks – this could help if groups like the Academy recognized it in the few places where it still exists.
Killing Eve
BBC America's Phoebe Waller-Bridge hit is one of the few shows in 2018 that generated a serious buzz in the first half of this year – and you would have assumed that the Emmys would have rewarded this well-deserved stellar thriller, the Dramatic series, as well as an appropriate confrontation between Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh in Leading Actress. Well, one in three is a start. Oh did the story as the first woman of Asian descent ever named in her category, but Comer was rebuffed and the series will have to try again next year. Do not make this mistake again next year, Emmys, or we are sending Villanelle after you.
Cristine Milioti of Black Mirror
The British science fiction anthology show Became an unexpected powerhouse at the Emmy Awards, winning last year for his episode "San Junipero "and winning seven nominations this time for the flagship title of season four," USS Callister ". (They also winked at Letitia Wright for "Black Museum" Go Shuri!) But they have inexplicably omitted the heart and soul of the episode – it just does not work as well as without the performance of Cristin Milioti. She was left on Skillane IV 's planet while her episode was mounting in Emmy' s hyperspace. It just does not seem right.
Alison Brie and Marc Maron of GLOW
Emmy voters connected with enough GLOW of Netflix to name him for the best comedy series, and congratulations to the great Betty Gilpin for the landing of a support actress appointment. But sniffing both Alison Brie and Marc Maron feels like a weird oversight. The relationship between his optimistic Ruth and his cynical Sam was the driving force of the entire first season. Was the voters just too fascinated by Liberty Belle to realize that it's the chemistry of the whole show that really makes it work?
American Vandal
Was it too much hope? the mystery of who drew the cocks would connect with the voters? Did they consider this Netflix too juvenile to stand by things with "serious" subjects such as Genius and Patrick Melrose ? Absurdity! Not only is this hysterical trend of both crime series and modern high school life being nominated for the series, but the absence of a nod to the great Jimmy Tatro is a real mystery. Excuse us while we paint balls on some cars in the Academy parking lot.
The Americans Noah Emmerich & Holly Taylor
After ignoring the first half of its existence history, the Emmys wisely returned to the stellar FX drama, and have conscientiously fulfilled their purpose to the homeland by naming it in the categories of best actress and actor for the past three years. In addition, we are very happy that he returned to Dramatic Series after missing the cup last year. But go now: Stan Beeman and Paige Jennings were two of the most important main characters in this TV event, and the actors who brought them to life will move on to their next projects that have never been nominated. This feels worthy of a congressional investigation into Russian interference.
Modern Family
This one is more shocking than a rebuff – but the lack of love this time is worth discussing because of its historical significance. For years, critics have suggested that the Emmy cease rewarding increasingly mediocre seasons that voters have favored in the past, but does anybody think it would be this year that it would happen finally? With Veep and Master of None taking the sabbatical year and Roseanne burning in the historic flames, it seemed like a choice sure was inevitable. After all, he has been nominated eight years in a row – every year of his existence – and is the fourth most nominated comedy series. And the category went to eight nominees this year – but the Emmys still could not find a place for their once-favorite child. Sorry, Dunphys, you have been deported.
Lakeith Stanfield of Atlanta
There was so much love poured today for the wonderful Atlanta that it can be tempting not to ask for more … but WTF is up with Lakeith Stanfield, one of the best young actors around, missing for both seasons now? It's not as if the category was so deep that there was simply no room. Without wishing to offend Kenan Thompson of SNL but naming the veteran sketch drafter on the man who starred in "Teddy Perkins" feels downright criminal. Robbin & # 39; Season indeed.
Billions
Showtime had a difficult morning. Of course, William H. Macy, Shameless star returned, but Liev Schreiber (Lann Schreiber) will have to save regular candidates like Claire Danes of Homeland and Liev Schreiber of Ray Donovan . their sounds. (See also: our entry Twin Peaks above.) But the real crime completely ignored the chance to finally invite Billions to the party. With shows like Better Call Saul missing the ballot, why not turn to a show that only gets better every year, turning in its best season so far in 2018? Even a single nod or two for great artists like Damian Lewis and Asia Kate Dillon could have opened some doors for other nominations in the future. Get this one, next year, Emmys. It's starting to get embarrassing.
