In a year with record-breaking Emmy nominations, it’s only natural that 2022 Emmy nominations recognize some unforeseen contestants and ignore others whose nomination seemed safe. Below, David Canfield And Rebecca Ford by Awards Insiders analyze the less predictable results of the day of the Emmy nominations, since the “flop” This Is Us to an awaited nomination for Seth Meyers.
SURPRISE: This Is Us
NBC and the cast of its drama staked everything on the campaign for its final season, but ultimately to no avail. The show fell too out of favor at the Television Academy – it returned to the drama roster last year, but was snubbed in 2020 – and with so many new entrants entering the fray, it failed to catch up for. the farewell hug. However, one wonders why Sterling K. Brown failed to sneak into the best actor category after so many consecutive nominations. Or because the remarkable work of Mandy Moore in the last season it has been neglected in favor of work from Jodie Comer And Sandra Oh, which represented a faded last season for Killing Eve, moreover rather terrible .
SURPRISE: The Great’s Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult
The first season of the eccentric The Great of Hulu was not appreciated by the TV Academy, which snubbed the protagonists Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult for their bombastic interpretations of Catherine the Great and Peter III. This year he made up for it by naming both actors, who provided versatile and hilarious performances in extremely challenging roles.
SURPRISE: Sarah Goldberg, Barry
The excellent third season of Barry it was highly praised by Emmy voters, but, oddly enough, her greatest performance was not selected. Goldberg was breathtaking in the climax of HBO’s dark comedy, alternating between anger and panic and a hint of slapstick as she faced the reality of her Hollywood dream of hers. She has already been nominated in the past; we hope that the voters find space to welcome it again before that Barry take his last lap .
SURPRISE: Sarah Paulson, Impeachment: American Crime Story
The FX series was supposed to be one of the hottest shows of the season, but quickly sold out after the debut. If there’s anyone who can get an Emmy nomination, though, it’s Sarah Paulson, who received the nomination for her role as Linda Tripp in the series. It is her eighth nomination in her career and would be her second win (she won in 2016 for The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story) if, by chance, he manages to win the prize.
SURPRISE: Rothaniel
The most emotional comedy special of the year was somewhat overlooked in the category of pre-recorded specials, in favor of … the more controversial one (The Closer from Dave Chappelle). The hilarious and heartbreaking confession of Jerrod Carmichaelin which he declares himself gay and explores his family’s harmful tradition of secrecy, certainly deserved a place in the eclectic group, which also found space for the special on the reunion of Harry Potter and the live concert of Adele. But it’s particularly irritating to see such an exciting and up-and-coming comedian reaching his peak losing a spot to another comedian going in the opposite direction. At least Carmichael was nominated for writing.
SURPRISE: Abbott Elementary
The new ABC comedy was expected to be a smash hit, but it surpassed even that expectation. In addition to being nominated for the comedy series, she also garnered nominations for the creator’s acting Quinta Brunson and supporting cast members Janelle James, Tyler James Williams And Sheryl Lee Ralph, plus a nomination for writing. It’s hard enough for a network show to break into Emmys, but Abbott reached the summit.
SURPRISE: Black-ish
Another ABC comedy hit this year’s Emmy season with 24 nominations, including four nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series in seven seasons. Also, the protagonist Anthony Anderson was nominated annually for his role while his partner Tracee Ellis Ross has earned five nominations in the past. It therefore seemed likely that the TV Academy would release the show with a string of nominations for its eighth and final season. But alas, the show didn’t get a nomination for a comedy series or for acting, only getting nominations for costumes and hairstyles.
SURPRISE: Late Night with Seth Meyers
Finally one of the freshest late night shows has entered the variety program category. The Late Night Seth Meyers had been nominated multiple times for writing, but due to the boomers’ persistent affection for Bill Maher or for goodbye a Conan, it had never made it into the program category, despite the adoration of critics and viewers. It took a proper showrunner campaign against category downsizing to make that happen, but hey, now we can all sleep soundly. Or almost: now he just has to beat John Oliver.
SNUB: Selena Gomez, Only murders in the building
Selena Gomez was expected to get her first Emmy nomination this year for her work on the hit Hulu comedy Only Murders in the Building. But while his colleagues Steve Martin And Martin Short were both nominated as actors, Gomez was excluded from the list of leading actresses in comedies, an extremely competitive category this year. The good news: As executive producer, Gomez is still a nominee for the show, which earned it a nomination for Best Comedy Series of 17 nominations.
SURPRISE: Christopher Walken, Severance
The Apple TV + sci-fi drama garnered a whopping 14 nominations for its first season, none more surprising than the accolade for Christopher Walken. The actor is adorable and a counter-type to the series, but arrives late and shares the scenes with a more obvious candidate, a John Turturro extraordinarily good . Voters enjoyed the show just enough, it seems, to name both of them. For Walken, this is the first Emmy nomination in over 30 years; the last one had come for the Hallmark movie Sarah, Plain and Tall of 1991 . -A.D
SURPRISE: Atlanta
The first two seasons of Atlanta they’ve garnered 22 nominations and five wins, but perhaps the nearly four-year absence from the series didn’t thrill the Academy. The protagonist and creator Donald Glover he got a lead actor nomination, but the show’s only other nominations this year were for photography and directing. The outstanding work of the supporting cast (Brian Tyree Henry, LaKeith Stanfield And Zazie Beetz) was overlooked along with the show’s excellent writing. The rejection for the comedy series is the one that burns the most, especially for a season that leveraged the circus of the awards season with the description of the ninth episode: “Episode in black and white? Yawn. Bait for the Emmys” -R .F.
SURPRISE: Himesh Patel, Station eleven
One of the most acclaimed and challenging series of the season, Station Eleven came on Tuesday as one of the biggest question marks of the morning. Though it missed a win in the main category, HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama Max garnered seven accolades, the most thrilling and unexpected of which was Best Actor for Himesh Patel. The actor of EastEnders is the protagonist of Station Eleven in the role of the heroic Jeevan, but it is a subtle interpretation that has had to compete with those of Jared Leto, Samuel L. Jackson And Sean Penn, at their peak in other projects. He beat them all and won a well-deserved prize .
SURPRISE: Waitress
The cutthroat category of limited series would always leave out some stellar shows, but the exclusion of Maid of Netflix is a bit surprising because the series was a critical success. The protagonist Margaret Qualley got her second Emmy nomination for her work on the series, but her partner (and real-life mother) Andie MacDowell She was left off the supporting actress list, despite providing a very good portrayal of Qualley’s character’s troubled mother.
SURPRISE: Toheeb Jimoh and Sarah Niles, Ted Lasso
There is no better proof of the continued strength of Ted Lasso than nominations as supporting characters for these up-and-coming second season actors. Toheeb Jimoh’s role has been expanded into an unexpected and delightful romantic arc that marked a highlight of the second campaign of Period, while Sarah Niles entered the cast with a whole new energy, playing Richmond’s new in-house consultant. While these are not proper names – their performances marked the show’s emotional and comedic high points – the fact that they have garnered enough votes indicates that the series, and its best attributes, are more loved. that never “.
DISAPPOINTMENT: Yellowstone
Yellowstone was billed throughout the season as a much-loved series that would finally enter the Emmy race with its fourth season. But, despite the series’ large and passionate fan base, Paramount’s barrier was perhaps still too big to break. In addition to missing the nomination for a drama series, the series was snubbed in the acting categories for the work of its stars. Kevin Costner And Kelly Reilly. The fifth season will debut this year, so maybe it will manage to get some nominations in 2023 .
SURPRISE: Inventing Anna
Yup, Maid – and WeCrashed – And Under the Banner of Heaven – And Gaslit – failed to enter the mini series category. But do you know what he succeeded? Inventing Anna, an undoubtedly popular series that has garnered quite a few glowing reviews from critics. This makes the series starring Julia Garner there Emily in Paris of this year? Anna Sorokin he’d be furious at the comparison, but it’s still unsettling.
