EMMY Nominations will be announced 7-15-25

My prediction: the same shitty shows will get tons of nominations despite not being that good.

Lookin' at chu, The Bear and The White Lotus.

I’m hoping that the cast of “What We Do in the Shadows” get nominated for their final season. And I hope Hannah Einbinder wins an Emmy. Also rooting for the cast of “The Pitt.”

Is Matlock supposed to be good? I had no idea

Is The Bear eligible?

R3 very good and the highest rated new show on network TV. It's a fun watch to kill an hour. Kathy Bates will probably take the Emmy for Best Dramatic Actress.

Especially with The Last Samurai out of her way.

Hoping for Kathy Bates, a nomination and a win. The show is good fun. Ms. Bates elevates what she has to work with,

I would expect Walton Goggins will be up for White Lotus, and also Parker Posey (just because she was so memorably imitable). I'm curious if Sam Rockwell will be up too given his amazing monologue about sexual addiction in the one episode.

The person whom I would most want to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, but who won't be, is Phia Saban, who is superb as the gentle but doomy Queen Helaena in House of the Dragon. She steals every scene she's in.

Shows which will get the most nominations:

The Pitt

Severance

White Lotus

The Hack

Adolescence

The Studio

I would love to see Kathy Bates win. I would also love to see Kaitlin Olson at least get a nomination for “High Potential,” another fun hour of network TV, though I’d be shocked if the nominators included her.

"The Hack"??

Just an error. You knew I meant 'Hacks'

Calm the F down.

Who is excited? I just asked a question.

Chill out, Tetchy.

I'd be happy if they showed sone love to Tony Gilroy and Andor.

Sci fi/Fantasy seldom gets much Emmy love unless it's on HBO and gets a huge push from them.

I've never understood the story behind The Wire and the Emmys refusal to give it more than a couple nominations. It was an HBO show and got glowing reviews. Seemingly, HBO never mounted major Emmy campaigns for it.

TBH, I suspect it's a lot of racist bullshit. West Coast Emmy voters didn't give a fuck about a gritty East Coast show with a largely black cast. They only cared about modestly gritty east coast shows with a mostly Italian cast.

I think Sam Rockwell was submitted in the supporting category because he was in too many episodes. He would have been the clear winner as guest actor but now he has competition.

I never said that you were excited. But it was a stupid question as it was obvious what I meant.

That's what I meant.

I hope Linda Lavin is nominated for Supporting.

R8. Points for using the word imitable. And whom. 👏

[quote]And I hope Hannah Einbinder wins an Emmy.

R2 after this shit season Hacks won't snag any acting nominations, let alone one for that no-talent nobody Einbiner.

Listen up-The Pitt better win every f-ing award. Even comedy.

R21: And you forgot nepo baby.

It looks like the overpublicized and overhyped White Lotus will overperform and will probably pick up a few undeserving nominations (Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Nivola).

But no wins, R24.

I’m sorry, I watched the first five or six episodes of “Matlock” and thought it was terrible. The supporting cast was weak, and yeah, Kathy Bates does her Kathy Bates thing, but the Bride of Vengeance routine is tedious. I personally wouldn’t nominate her, but since the series seems to be popular, you guys are probably right that she will win.

“Elsbeth” is pretty lame too, but I actually watch that, enjoy seeing Broadway actors every week and I’m glad they wrote out the boring female detective sidekick.

Even in a somewhat subpar season, “White Lotus” managed to cast its own peculiar spell for an hour a week, it was head and shoulders above most things on TV this season, and it maintained its cultural relevance by being a national obsession while it was on.

“Severance” was smart and interesting too, though it dissipated some of the intriguing single-minded energy of its first season. And personally, I’d give the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama to Britt Lower, who is fantastic, and who did more with her character this season than Kathy Bates did with hers. I expect Adam Scott will get a leading nod, and that Tramell Tillman and Dichen Lachman will get supporting nominations.

“Adolescence” will win everything in the miniseries category. And I mean everything, including technical awards. And it deserves to.

Oh, I'm sure White Lotus will get a win or two.

And, I agree Adolescence should do well in Miniseries!

As I stated above, I love Kathy Bates and would be happy to see her win; however, I’m also sure the real reason she would be nominated and win is because she’s a well-respected film actress and Oscar winner who’s doing a TV show. There was a TV critic whose column I used to read several years ago who often talked about how TV people have always been completely intimidated by film people, which is why movie stars almost always win their categories at the Emmys.

^^ I should say I used to read that particular critic way back in the early aughts and things have changed a lot since then, so perhaps movie stars aren’t really the shoo-in that they used to be.

Please no awards for the tired Hacks or The Bear.

Other than the acting, I was underwhelmed by Adolescence. I’m not sure if there was any other miniseries in contention that was better, though.

I’d like to see Janelle James finally win for Abbott Elementary.

R33 James is long overdue for a win. She's one of the funniest comic actresses on TV in a very long time. She had a very strong season this year.

I forgot about 'Adolescence' - I was glued to that series, and expect the nominations to come pouring in for them.

I'm happy the obligatory 'delusional' poster hasn't invaded the thread yet. He's the one who infests just about every thread and will say, 'If you think XXX will get a nomination for XXX you're delusional'. So refreshing not to see him here - thus far.

Honestly, someone please explain to me why THE BEAR is considered a comedy.

I enjoy watching the show, but it is not a comedy. Not by a long shot.

Is it possible that the academy has a hard time categorizing this show?

Make it make sense.

R35 After it was nominated for its first season, there was plenty of controversy of 'The Bear' being in the comedy category. Everyone said the same thing - it's a drama, not a comedy (including me - I watched a few episodes of S1 and clicked the remote as it wasn't for me). The Academy said it's up to the network to submit the category. FX said it's a 'dark comedy' (the producers insists there's plenty of dark humor in the series), and ended up submitting it for comedy in its first season, because they felt there was 'less competition' that year. That's where it has stayed.

Here's a similar discussion on it:

Hoping for a best supporting for Carrie Coon and possible win!

Sadly, I don’t think James will ever win for this role. It’s network. And trophies are typically won in the first two or three years. After that, the novelty of the performance has diminished. (The exception: the very special episode(s) when the character is raped or battling cancer.)

R37 I would love to see Coon win for either 'The Gilded Age' or 'The White Lotus' (and I think she's more deserving of the latter). However, I'm sure she will be nominated for both, and probably cancel herself out - so she will leave empty handed.

The Gilded Age didn't air new episodes in the 24/25 TV season which ended May 30th.

Would love to see Somebody, Somewhere get some recognition.
