Once again, the Emmy Awards nominations don’t include a slew of TV favorites. Among the most notable snubs: past champs Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”) and Viola Davis (“The First Lady”), the final season of “This is Us” and its leading lady Mandy Moore and Paramount’s red-hot “Yellowstone,” which was expected to finally make a splash at TV’s top honors.
Below, we enumerate the top 45 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.
