Grownish’s first half-hour cinematography nomination had me gooped. I know it was a dire year for academy friendly comedies I just never expected any branch to for a explicit’s young adult series, in it’s 4th season, on a network that they’ve never touched with a pole. It’s far Emmy friendlier predecessor (Blackish) never being nominated in the category either made it even more shocking to me.

It then managing to retain its nomination a season latter with actual competition was surprising.

since 2010, drama/comedy with 1 major nom and 0 other noms, some mentioned above

the ms pat show (so far) 2022

shrill 2021

kenan 2021

girls5eva (so far) 2021

the affair

though there were shows that were only nominated for one actor but multiple times.

Interesting that 2010-2020 had only The Affair, and we had 2-4 in the last two years.

Unlimited ballot era was mostly just HOW hard they’d go for something and you’d get someone 8th billed who was just “there” instead of any actually solid 2nd billed performance.

Dule Hill on West Wing lol

Re: Stockard Channing for “Out of Practice.” Besides it being a very rare, sole lead actress comedy nomination for a cancelled series, this was the infamous panels year where all kinds of random snubs and inclusions happened. The same year of the horrid nomination for Kevin James in “The King of Queens,” the one and only nomination for Geena Davis in “Commander in Chief,” and the single time the Emmys EVER noticed Christopher Meloni for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Fun times!

Was Joan of Arcadia random at the time? It seems so out of sync with a lot of the other nominees of that period (it also appears to have vanished in to obscurity).

Wow you’re bringing back memories

I remember posters on the old Goldderbyforums freaking out over the Kevin James nomination

I believe Joan of Arcadia was a critic’s favorite, so the nominations weren’t completely a surprise

Alfie Allen got a supporting nomination for eight minutes of screen time in the whole of season 8 of GoT (several of which were him playing dead). Not that he isn’t good in those eight minutes but I can’t think of many examples of such minimal screentime for a supporting nom.

If I may ask, who all were generally considered the most prominent snubs/surprise nominees that year on the forums?

Kevin James and Chris Meloni.

To be fair this was the era where the tape system mattered, and both these guys submitted pretty well.

I think there were even some posters who thought James had a shot.

Julia Louis Dreyfuss was another surprise. A lot of people didn’t predict the nomination let alone the win

Let’s not forget the pure blind namecheck of Ellen Burstyn’s 14 second performance in MRS. HARRIS 😏

Globes: nominate Emily in Paris and everyone has a meltdown
Emmys, several months later with considerably less recency bias: also nominates Emily in Paris.

2000s, comedy/drama with 1 major nom and no other noms:

02 andy richter controls the universe (writing)

03 lucky (writing)

06 King of queens, out of practice, commander in chief

07 the riches

09 sarah silverman program, the mentalist

Mostly lead acting.

So this century, the ONLY drama/comedy whose sole nomination was for supporting was The Affair. Maura her power!

lead acting 8, comedy writing 3, comedy directing 1.

Kevin James having an Emmy nomination will never not be funny.
That year was weird, wasn’t the year they snubbed Gandolfini and Falco for Sopranos 6A? Crazy

FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.

Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!

They also snubbed Lost in Drama Series after giving it the win the year before.
