I thought I’d start this thread because I know it’s an area people at times bemoan for a lack of breadth of nominations so if you have any favourites here (either episodes or new shows) I though it would be a nice place to share them.
My favourites new ones this year have been Arcane (spectacularly done and very accessible) and for pure, anadulterated crazy, musical theatre but animated, Centaurworld (I don’t even know how to explain this but it’s a trip).
I think the latter straddles kids and adult programming and may end up outside of Primetime, but Arcane would be a lovely thing to see get some Emmys attention.
Any other new favourites or older favourites you thought had particularly good years/episodes/voice performances?
Replybig mouth is a lock for animated program, as well as voice-over performance for maya rudolph. trust me on this.

I think Arcane, Star Wars: Visions and Maya and the Tree will do well in the juried categories, but they will be ignored by the Animated branch in general because it’s genre, they actually have a good story AND they actually have been widely seen and loved by a lot of people, and this something the Animated branch despises.
Rick & Morty, Big Mouth, Bob’s Burgers, etc zzzzzzzz are locked
I would love to see Hilda and the Mountain King getting in. Really underrated show (although this was a movie sequel to the show), but I think it will sweep the Daytime

Both Children’s (pre the move) and Animation have been a little bit more open to Star Wars over the years and Star Wars adjacent stuff (ie Clone Wars and Star Wars related-Robot Chicken eps) (which might have actually been a bit of predictor for The Mandalorian doing well), but I tend to think Visions might be pushing the edges of that too far.
ReplyCopy URLMaybe Bad Batch is the Star Wars they go for instead of Visions?
It’s probably more accessible, yeah. There’s a good chance if Disney don’t otherwise have a strong contender they make a play for it?
They’ve nominated Clone Wars on a couple of occasions and Rebels and Resistance for Children’s (the last two the four years consecutive prior to The Mandalorian getting in, which I thought was interesting).
Also just remembered they got in “The Force Awakens from Its Nap” for short form (which was a very cute Star Wars/Simpsons crossover). So yeah, Star Wars, if anything has some love there
ReplyCopy URL<p style=”user-select: auto;”>Big Mouth lost animated program last year, it’s an actors show, not an animators show.
i agree but, it’s still getting a nom. i forgot to mention in my first comment that it’s a lock for noms.</p>

Big Mouth sucks but it will continue getting Emmys for some reason. This category needs to have more diversity instead of “Bob’s Burgers”, “The Simpsons” and “South Park” every year. I mean BoJack Horseman, one of the best animated shows ever, NEVER WON!
