The Emmy nominations were announced today and once again they suck. If your show is on HBO, Showtime, FX or Netflix, then you have a good chance of getting nominated. If not, then you didn’t get nominated.
The biggest snubs were The Carmichael Show, Conan, American Horror Story: Hotel’s Lady Gaga, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom, Undateable: Live and Sharknado 3. Also missing was The Big Bang Theory and Orange is the New Black from the major categories.
I didn’t post the announcement because Anthony Anderson was really annoying. I used to like him, but since Black-ish became a little bit of a hit, he has become so full of himself. And now that it got it three noms, he will have an ego as huge as one of our Presidential candidates.
What I did like was that American Crime Story Courtney B Vance and Sterling K Brown, and UnReal’s Constance Zimmer got noms, but other than them shows that people don’t watch were nominated.
Making Jimmy Kimmel’s job much harder when he hosts the Emmys on September 18th.
