But all I see are the snubbed, the overlooked, and most of all,The Leftovers.
The best show of last season was ignored by Emmy voters in every category except one.
Outstanding Drama SeriesBetter Call Saul, AMCHouse of Cards, NetflixStranger Things.
See the 2017 Emmy Nominees!
Grumble:The Leftoverswas superior to every show here.
(Then again, maybe our chatter counts for nothing.
Our noisy raving on behalf ofThe Leftoversseemed to fall on deaf ears.)
People: Were talking the difference of, like, half a grade.
Id take the sustained excellence ofThe AmericansoverHouse of Cards.Id also take the weird highs ofMr.
And Im glad to see thatThe Americansdidnt fallcompletelyoff Emmys radar.
Grumble:Did Emmy not watchMr.
Or did they simply trust the reviews that complained about a sophomore slump?
Because Malek was as consistently sensational in season 2 as he was in season 1.
Schreiber is a fantastic actor, and yet even he cant get me interested inRay Donovan.
Swap:Malek for Spacey, Theroux for Schreiber.
Swap:Coon for Davis, only because Davis has won before.
So Emmy got that right.
Grumble:Snubs in this category are in the eye of the beholder.
Glover and Galifianakis represent the diverse, eclectic sensibilities animating comedy and TV in general right now.
Ansari stepped up his game this season.
Adlon is the balm that soothes the burn of Coons snub in the drama category.
