Every time the Television Academy announces its Emmy Awards nomination, I go into them pretty much expecting a mixed bag. Some shows or actors that I enjoy & appreciate get nominated – but more often than not, I'm stuck in that zone with so many others, left wondering what happened. Because as someone who tends to love"geek" content, you get kinda used to watching what you love get passed over year after year.
Even with the shadow of the ongoing WGA/AMPTP writers' strike & a potential SAG-AFTRA strike darkening the festivities, there was something about the nominations that dropped earlier today that felt a little different. Sure, a large part of that had to do withBetter Call SaulThe Last of Us and Disney+'s The Mandalorian . And that's when we saw what was nominated for Best Drama – and for a hot second, we thought it was the nominees for the Saturn Awards.
And that leads me back to the shows that I kicked things off with because… well… I actually think it's a pretty good lineup. Are there always going to be shows that folks can argue should've been included? Sure – and that's never going to change. Just like I know there were a couple of question marks regarding other nomination categories and who did/didn't make the cut.
