Yeah I think the overall quality of a show can have a negative impact on the best acting categories even though it probably shouldn't, but I guess just the acting part isn't entirely isolated in its own bubble. He pretty much built up and sold that entire ending sequence on the last TWD finale by himself, before the showrunners screwed up and deflated the moment.
That being said, I think the crowd is always so tough that I can understand why he's never on the list. There are just better roles with incredible actors at the helm that have more to work with to flex that acting muscle.
It literally makes no sense. She's brutal.

Is Mr.Robot really that good? I saw the first two episodes, and it didn't hook me.

Is the Homeland series still good? I stopped watching after Brody's story was wrapped up in, i believe, season 3. I left satisfied.

Yes. The main actor alone deserves props for how he portrays a character with social anxiety.
Also did HBO not submit the actor who plays Ramsay on GoT for anything? Dude was hated by all, so he did his job very well.
People have to realize it exists first.
I am surprised Transparent even got nominations.

Back off. Modern Family is a great show.
What season of Game of Thrones are they basing these nominations on? Season 6? Cause that was an epic season.
Glad to see The Americans get some as well. Damn great show.

Fargo better win something, particularly leading actress.

Yes, but if you didn't get hooked early I don't think there's really a turning point later on that's gonna hook you. Just might not be your thing.
How many times has she been nominated? That's crazy, she's so lifeless and flat and lacking any sort of charisma.

Kinda sad that Jon Bernthal didn't get a nominee for his portrayal of Frank Castle :/
The power of riding dragons.
IASIP is too smart for the voters. Anyway never knew Louie Anderson was in Baskets.

Likely to be the OJ show and Sarah Paulson. They had much more hype than Fargo this year.
He plays the mother of Zach in it. And he's fantastic.

Kirsten had the Emmy in the bag until People v. OJ and Sarah Paulson came along and absolutely blew up her changes. It's between them two and with the huge OJ comeback this year, I'm willing to bet it's Paulson.

My Sophie's Choice is Bokeem vs. Courtney B. in supporting actor limited series.
I hoping Jean Smart gets it in supporting actress.

No Michael McKean either. That hospital scene deserves the award by itself. Fuck the emmys.No Rhea Seehorn
What did her character even do this year?
Jay Shadow
Member
Yeah, that was my one disappointment. But if she was a lead then it was stacked, and if she was supporting then they were handing them out to Thrones actresses like candy.

Not enough Lip Sync battles and carpool karaokes.
I can promise you it will make the cut next year. It only had a handful of episodes under its belt for this years cut off date.
Straight up snubbed. They even (accidently) posted their Emmy campaign on iTunes earlier in the year.
It's going to be like when Janice in accounting gets passed up by Rachel for employee of the month.
"God DAMN it, Rachel. I can't fucking believe you right now! You don't fucking deserve it, Rachel!"

Great to see all the respect for The Americans at the top. I MO, it should sweep the big caregories.
Nope. According to the nominating ballots HBO only submitted the names of the following nine actors: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Carice van Houten, Maisie Williams and Max von Sydow.
I'm happy with everything else, but yes, Rectify being ignored is insanity.
The Americans finally getting the love it's always deserved is so good to see. Mr. Robot grabbing some stuff up is also nice to see.
But I get the feeling Game of Thrones is going to dominate again.

Emilia Clarke again? Are you fucking kidding me? HBO must really be throwing money at them.
Dude, ever thought about the possibility she is only doing what the script asks of her? She could be kinda good in that.
She's awful.
She sat on a dragon twice this year.
Well that will shut me up. Getting a kick out of all the 'Finally.' posts in regards to The Americans because it's true!
