Linda Lavin got screwed
She gave bar none the best supporting performance of the year in Mid Century Modern only to be cruelly denied the chance to win. This is how we do television icons now? Unacceptable.
Spare me the show wasn’t quality when mediocrity abounds in all of these nominations. Her category is basically a carbon copy of last years.
If I was a member of the academy, they’d have my resignation today, And I would be very expletive about it as well.
At least the theater community treated her with respect and class.

Sometimes life just hands you a box of exploding straws, OP.

How can it be cruel?
She's dead. Even if there's an afterlife, I doubt she's spending it paying attention to whether she gets nominated or not.

I don't want to even THINK about Linda Laing getting screwed.

To be fair, R6, Linda did seem like the type who would be paying attention to exactly that kind of shit beyond the grave.

I don't think they get wifi or TV in the afterlife.

Somehow I think she would have felt dying was the bigger disappointment.

Really OP? There are so many other things deserving of outrage.

There’s something new every day that people let themselves get outraged about, so just wait until tomorrow.

She would have been a deserving nominee, but I don’t think her omission was personal. Emmy voters only watch and nominate performances from the most buzzed about shows; Mid-Century Modern just didn’t have much industry momentum.

Her tribute / character death episode got a writing nod. I was surprised she didn't get a nom too.

Is Polly Holliday on the nominating committee?

It's the television industry's revenge for her scatting the closing theme of "Alice" so abominably.

The Elephant in the Room needs to be addressed: Bonnie Franklin's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" not being brought to Broadway...

I understand it's the performance that is nominated, as in "Best Performance by a Supporting Actress.....", but I always felt it a waste to give an Award to an actor that is deceased. Going way back, I might have given Heath Ledger's Oscar to Josh Brolin, or Peter Finch's Oscar for Network to Sylvester Stallone in Rocky.
Hopefully, Lavin will get a special In Memoriam tribute at this year's Emmys, (maybe 5 seconds instead of 1 1/2 like all the other dead).
Just my personal opinion.
