Emmys: Problem of an Excess

[Manav]

#1204924265

I think we can agree that the Emmys have a problem to just keep on giving their favourite shows excessive nominations and wins even if the quality is inferior to other shows or to that particular shows’ previous seasons.

Which shows/performances do you think overstayed their welcome at the Emmys? And what’s the reason?

EDIT: One season overperformance will also count.

This is a really random one (that I know I’ve mentioned bothers me in other threads) but the threepeat for Marvelous Mrs Maisel in Music Supervision was so unnecessary and boring. The category had only existed for a year before it started dominating. It’s quite a competitive category every year full of deserving winners for such an underrated aspect of TV but you wouldn’t know from looking at its history.

Game of Thrones didn’t need 4 wins
Modern Family didn’t need 5 wins

Saturday Night Live should’ve stopped getting the amount of nominations it gets years ago.

I think 3 for both Game Of Thrones and Modern Family would have been justified. 5 for Modern Family makes me wonder how many coattails it would have gotten under this current system. Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen would have gotten 4 wins on the bounce, something like Peter Dinklage.

Modern Family winning five times in a row is the clearest example for me. It’s a little boring to have something win that many times in a row but I could have lived with it if the show was deserving. It’s third season win was questionable and winning for seasons four and especially five was unconscionable.

Love Schitt’s Creek but that directing win definitely was a bit too much

Definitely. A Black Lady Sketch Show should have started winning it’s trophies.

I agree that Modern Family winning 5 times was way too much (especially since all most of them were undeserved), but even worse was it getting nominated 8 times in a row (again, most of them undeserved noms)

The thing is, Dinklage deserved 4 Emmys, just half of his were from the wrong seasons.

Sarah Hyland absolutely would’ve happened at least one time (I’d personally nominate her over Bowen for S4). Maybe Winter as well. Can’t see either Gould or Rodriguez getting in unless Burrell (or someone) moved to lead or it was a field of 8 instead of a field of 5.

I could see Banks, Devine, Lane and Riggle would’ve happened in Guest for every eligible season they appeared in.
