I hope Jen gets nominated for Shades Of Blue.

 

Is Beasts Of No Nation eligible, though? Since it premiered in theaters.

It should be, Netflix's Documentaries have been eligible for both Oscars and Emmys.

I don't know but if this season of The Americans is as good as last year's and it gets snubbed again I will raise all kinds of hell

[Kevin Bacon]

I'm a bit more lenient on this one because of the show's tragically low viewership, but ditto that for Aya Cash in Best Actress in a Comedy for You're the Worst. Should be a frontrunner but I'll be happy if she gets in at all. Chris Geere deserves attention to but even the Critic's Choice awards which were actually pretty good didn't nominate him so that's less likely.

Hidden Content

 

Ted Danson over Woodbine, Offerman, and Donovan? I suppose name value will help but honestly if Danson and Plemons both get nominated they'll have picked the two least awesome performances from the ensemble (and I say that in the nicest way possible).

I haven't seen this season of Fargo so I'm just guessing

It's almost given, maybe we can hope for another Writing nomination.

If FX runs the right campaign I could see her getting in.

1. Ah, yeah, okay. That makes sense. On paper Danson does seem likely, which may be all he needs to get in.

 

2. I'm keeping hope alive. People were vocal about season two's snub, but last year had actual established websites posting about it and it got a pretty strong reaction. Given that each season has been better than the one before it, that last season was arguably the best show of the year, and the way the plot is headed going into season four, I think it's possible. Of course, it's also heavily dependent on....

 

3. This, which isn't gonna happen. Bless John Landgraf for the quality of the shows on his network, but they've always done a piss poor job getting them the awards attention they deserved. Be it more recently with the smattering of snubs for The Americans and its cast while shows like House of Cards keep getting attention, or all the way back at the beginning when The Shield got like three nominations total over the course of its seven seasons, two of them being in the first (and worst) season, and the other being for movie star Glenn Close, while the Goggins had to wait years until his also-great-but-not-as-great performance on Justified to get any attention. It's awesome that FX gives these shows more seasons based on their critical acclaim and quality despite their low ratings, but with that in mind you'd think they'd pimp the shows out where it counts. It's great that they can show blurbs in their ads about how Fargo, The Americans, and Louie are the best shows of the year, wouldn't they like to be able to throw "Emmy award-winner" in there?

 

But yeah, I don't imagine enough Emmy voters will have even heard of You're the Worst for Cash get nominated, let alone win. Part of that's on the system being whack as hell, part of it's on FX for not acting accordingly.
