Once again, the Emmy Awards nominations don’t include a ton of TV stars, including past winners Viola Davis (“How to Get Away with Murder”)) and Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), “Ozark” scene stealers Janet McTeer and Tom Pelphrey, and “Outlander” fan favorites Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan.
Below, we enumerate the top 50 Emmys snubs in our estimation. These were the shows and performers that we thought had a strong chance to number among this year’s nominees. Let us know if there are others missing from this list that merit mentioning by sounding off in the comments section.
