In my opinion True Detective should have really been classified as a mini-series. Even though it's ongoing the cast and settings will change so it's only a full series in name. I'm hoping Breaking Bad cleans up with it's last chance, but I can't say I'd be disappointed if True Detective took some wins. Also, how the hell is Orange is the New Black a comedy? If anything it feels like a drama with some black comedy elements but definitely not a full on comedy.

The line gets thinner every year with Dramedy shows. Scrubs was framed as a sitcom but had more gut punch moments than most dramas. House always worked better as a comedy for me.

The tone of Orange is the New Black is very lite for the most part, which may have a lot to do with it.

Mike86

Totally disagree. Like I said it has some black comedy elements to it but overall the tone of the series feels a lot more like a drama to me.

My Other Self

I think I just realized this is the first time I've ever been interested in Emmy nominations. I usually only watch the Oscars, but there's just so much stuff that I enjoy now it's hard not to have some interest.

Doc Moonlight

Once again, no Emmy love for Emmy Rossum.

writer106

I have a feeling that Bates will win.

Throwing Copper

I was shocked and disappointed that Tatiana Maslany was not nominated last year for her acting work. But everybody makes mistakes.

I absolutely cannot fucking believe they left her out in the cold again this year.

No excuse for that.

bluetoast

Talk about snubs, what about Boardwalk getting all but shut out. Damn.

i think thats why the UK Office didn't get any Emmy nods, hense Gervais getting makeup awards for Extras and Derrek

mike7162

I suppose it could be said that with such a wealth of great television this season that there were bound to be blatant snubs, but Hannibal not netting a single nomination is high-test bullshit.

Last year, Bobby Cannavale gives a cartoonish performance as an intense but stereotypical Mafia thug and wins the Emmy, this season Jeffery Wright give one of the most intelligent sophisticated, nuanced performances I've ever seen for a TV villain, raising all sort of questions about race relations, and somehow doesn't get a nomination. Weird.

The Questyen

It's up to the studios to submit their shows or actors/actresses in whatever category they want. The Emmy people don't choose if someone is a supporting or guest actor, or if something is a miniseries or a drama it's the studios.

Coral

I found Wright's performance annoying and overacted. He was simply trying too hard and it came off bad.

bootsy

Wow no. Overacting? I don't know what you saw out of that performance to characterize it as overacting and it definitely wasn't annoying.

Defiant1

Regarding all the nomination confusion, there is a ton of studio politics and manipulation from the actor's agents, and the actors themselves probably. HBO hasn't won a Best Drama Emmy in a while and I guess they felt Game of Thrones wasn't going to get it so they submitted True Detective and got the nom. The various Supporting/Guest Actor/Actress nominations is also designed to increase the chances of getting a win. In theory, someone who is in the main credits shouldn't be in the Guest category but you have that happening now with the ONITB ladies.

johnnysd

I would kind of agree. I found Wright's performance to be one of the weaker elements of the season. I think Michael K. Williams work is far superior.

johnnysd

Game of Thrones WILL win at some point. Not this year against BB

bootsy

Well I don't. I thought Wright was awesome and brought a very different element to a show that needed it. He's certainly better than most of the main characters on the show and definitely better than THE main character.

Bump for Awards ceremony tonight.

RichC2

I don't like Boardwalk Empire and agree with its snubbing. It's a show that should have been fantastic and engrossing and simply isn't.

Who does everyone think will win Best Actor in Drama tonight? I guess I'll go with Cranston, but Matthew M. will probably take it.

philo

I think it'll be MM too but kinda hoping Cranston wins one last time and Breaking Bad takes Best Drama. It's been a year so who knows how fresh it'll be in voters minds.

Shannon Nutt

I think Matthew is going to get best actor, but Breaking Bad will win Best Drama. I can't imagine voters ignoring one of those series in BOTH the major categories, which is why I think it will be split.

Then again, Emmy voters are about two or three seasons behind the rest of us (meaning they seem to reward people who should have won two years back), so who knows...Downton Abbey could sweep with these people.

chowderhead

So far so predictable with the winnings. I am rooting for Breaking Bad! But I am expecting some other show to win.

chowderhead

Yeah for the Amazing Race!
