Gonna assume Cox is the first african american tranny to get a nomination from the Emmys. Probably hear about that in the next few days. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Not one nod for Hannibal. :(
|
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Hoping Breaking Bad cleans up in its last chance for awards.
Also great to see all the nods for Fargo. What a great show that was. Really hope Billy Bob Thornton wins as he was excellent in it. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
So, Emmy voters clearly know BBC America exists, as evidenced by the nominations for Luther, Idris Elba and Burton & Taylor, yet Tatiana Maslany, who has delivered two seasons of outstanding performances as multiple characters on Orphan Black, is ignored?
Not sure what to think of this repeated snub. Luther's ratings on BBC America were over 3 times less than Orphan Black S2, so if Emmy voters were aware of Luther, there's no way they couldn't be aware of Orphan Black and Maslany's performance. Oh well, I guess she'll receive a Golden Globe nomination, just like last year. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Orange is the New Black is a comedy?
|
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Yeah... :(
Community and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia both got nominations for Stunt Coordination :lol:

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Tatiana Maslany was better than at least 3 actresses in the Drama category - yet no nomination.
I don't get how they consider those actresses from Orange/Black and Joan Cusack from Shameless as "Guest" actresses when they're regulars on the show. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
It's all about how they're credited, I thought it was ridiculous as well considering they're in every episode. I actually think Maslany is rightfully not nominated but I've never thought much of Orphan Black as a whole which may make me a little bias (it honestly reminds me of the internet pushing the greatness of Firefly), but she does work her ass off.
There's a category for Special and Visual Effects in a Supporting Role... |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
What will happen if Fargo comes back for a second season next year and another actor gives an incredible performance? Will it still be considered a miniseries?
I'm pulling for a Breaking Bad sweep. Disappointed that Brooklyn Nine-Nine didn't get more love. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I'm surprised Dean Norris didn't get nommed for Breaking Bad.
|
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
True Detective could have applied for mini-series as well. At what point is a mini-series a series or vice versa? If you have more than 4 'episodes' shouldn't that just be considered a series?
Loving all of the Game of Thrones love, especially Diana Rigg as the Queen of Thorns! |

It's shady, but these things dove in to silliness a long time ago. Can't believe Hannibal didn't even catch a whiff of any of the technical awards. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I plan on binging through the second season of Orphan Black this weekend. Even without seeing it, I know Tatiana Maslany got robbed. If the first season is an indication, she could have been nominated for multiple awards for different characters.
I'm sure Breaking Bad will be the big winner of the night. I think the only major award BB won't win is Best Supporting Actor. Aaron Paul was great as usual but I think it'll go to Dinklage. |

True Detective is considered a drama, but AHS is considered a miniseries. Same revolving cast / anthology concept. Fargo I can understand as being considered a miniseries since talk of Season 2 didn't start until the show was already airing, and it was intentionally a "limited series" to begin with. The final season of Treme doesn't belong on there, though. Is it considered a miniseries because of its short season? Does that mean The Killing Season 4 could be a miniseries then? I'd like to know how they determine what constitutes as what.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
How is Fred Armisen not considered a lead on Portlandia?

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Tatiana Maslany not getting an Emmy nomination means the entire thing is a joke. She's teaching a master class in character work every single episode. Ridiculous.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Tatiana and Hannibal being snubbed makes me a very unhappy camper.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I'm more confused how Treme Season 4 is considered a mini-series.

What is the Emmy calendar year, as far as eligibility?

It's one of the reasons OITNB S2 came out in June. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
They do make exceptions though for shows that start in the eligibility period and extend past June 1 -- I remember that the series finale of The Sopranos came out in June, but was made eligible for the previous year's Emmy Awards so its run would all be encompassed in one year's eligibility; I assume Fargo is like that this year.
