So, the Emmy's were a significant bunch of meh...

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Sep 21 '15, 06:50

It seems like for the televised categories, there were only 5 things that anyone voted for.

Veep > Transcendent for comedy
Olive Kitteridge over the other 4 nominees in every limited category.

Haven't seen How to Get Away With Murder...but I'm surprised a bit if they were going for diversity and noteworthy, they didn't get Taraji considering how strong Empire ended up being as a debuting/growing show.

Also, Allison Janney, love her, but can we please not nominate and give her awards every year when there's so much better, even on her own network?

At least Nurse Jackie is over so Edie Falco won't get nominated for that again.

- I think people realized Modern Family shouldn't have won last year (or probably the year prior) and jumped off that ship. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 07:26 1
  - Modern Family had the most inventive episode of recent TV this past season. - David Sep 21, 07:30

- yup -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 07:06
- I would agree if the same 3 people didn't get nominated every year. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 07:01
- yonh. this is the first year in a while that I was even able to watch a lot of the nominated shows as we finally got a smart tv. -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 06:58
- I agree wit this. -- nm - Pippy with chopsticks Sep 21, 06:57
But not nearly as much meh as this first. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 06:51
