“It’s an honor to be nominated”. Well, I would have liked to have seen other names being honored this year and I have to admit my disappointed in some categories. Granted I am unable to watch every series and every mini-series or movies, but there are some shows, actors and actress being completely shut out.
Happy that HBO’s Girls got nominated for Best Comedy and Lena Dunham got nominated for Best Actress - a very creative and fun show. Besides Girls, I’m excited for Modern Family and Big Bang Theory. So excited that Ed O’Neill got nominated (hope he wins). The rest of his co-stars, men and women got nominated besides the kids. For Big Bang Theory, besides the show, Jim Parsons got nominated, just wish Johnny Galecki was on the list as well. I am disappointed that no one from Happy Endings was nominated, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans, Jr., Casey Wilson, and Eliza Coupe. Oh and no Martha Plimpton from Raising Hope – really?
Edie Falco was nominated for Nurse Jackie, but I was super happy that Merritt Wever was finally nominated for her supporting role as Zoey on Nurse Jackie. Always been one of my favorites on that show. Also really happy for the SNL family, hosts Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCartney and including cast members Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader got nominated, respectively.
The Drama categories are where I’m really disappointed in. No love or recognition for Sons of Anarchy, Boss, Magic City, or Parenthood; although Jason Ritter got nominated for best guest actor in a drama. No best show, no best actor, no best actress, no best supporting actor or actress nominations. Are you kidding me? Kelsey Grammer is amazing in Boss, the entire show is so good. I recently started watching Sons of Anarchy and each season has been great and never a boring episode in any season. Powerful performances all around but Katey Sagal and Charlie Hunnam especially deserved some love. I knew Mad Men, Homeland, Breaking Bad would be nominated – seems like a given at this point. Boardwalk Empire got some recognition but thought out of every category, Michael Pitt deserved that best supporting actor nomination and of course, denied.
Evan Peters and Dylan McDermott from American Horror Story I thought deserved some recognition – nothing as well. No Alan Cumming for The Good Wife. The show itself was kicked out of the best drama – so weird.
I am also happy for Michael J. Fox and Martha Plimpton for their guest appearance nominations. Extremely happy for Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton, Mare Winningham, Tom Berenger for Hartfields & McCoys, and happy for Joan Cusack on her fun character on Shameless, thought Emmy Rossum deserved a nomination as well.
Don't get me wrong this is my initial reaction for the nominations and I bet everyone deserves the recognition but when I see some being nominated constantly and some none it's a little sad for those who should receive some appreciation for their fine work on tv! At the end of the day... Not everyone can be nominated but congrats to all!!
I was really rooting for certain shows and certain actors, but some I have was very happy about, some pleasant surprises for overdue recognition and some still shut out. Here’s to next year and for those that I’m rooting for – fingers crossed until Emmy night in September.
