Worst Emmy snubs of all time: ‘The Wire,’ ‘Better Call Saul,’ more

After all emmys, who writes about the offers that were “singing”. But let’s put it in its right quorum: If the “The Bob Newhart Show” never won the Emmy Award, why should you?

Then again, why Not CBS in the 1970s, Amy wins? Or “wire”, for this issue? Or “Best Calling Saul”, “A New Girl”, “Gardens and Entertainment”, “What is called My Life”, “Better Things”, “Good Place”, “Bojack Horseman” and many other beloved offers?

In many cases, stop the offers that were closed at EMMYS to test time, if not the voter test at that time. So why do some series fall-including the headlines that are still eligible such as “NCIS”, and “It is always sunny in Philadelphia” and “Yellowston”-through cracks?

This also occurs in the Academy Awards, of course. “But with the Academy Awards, you have only one rift – if something else gets the momentum, there is nothing you can do,” says Jason Lynch, coordinator at the Billy Center for the Information in New York. “For television, in theory, if there is something for several seasons, you will get many cracks, so if the chain you did not receive any Emmy, this contradiction is more clear.

“The best Saul’s invitation” is a living example. “He went 0 for 53 nomination,” says Lynch. “There was Drumbeat, the last season, where journalists reported Amy’s voters,” This is your last chance, please ” – to no avail.

This is another way in which Emiz is different from the Academy Awards, as Irving Bilach, professor of cinematic arts at the University of Southern California. “With the Academy Awards ceremony, you can refer to the times when people finally get a professional prize, even if that is not this role or that movie. In Emmys, they don’t do it, where they say,” Let’s finally give “Sound call”. This, I do not understand. “

Then again, Beliteche adds, this series opposed the harsh competition: “The Game of Thrones” four times and “punished” twice. There are a lot of good and popular shows that are competing with, they are not cut and dry. Likewise, “The Bob Newhart Show” faced “ALL In The Family”, “Mash” and “The Mary Tyler MORE Show”.

However, even strong fields cannot explain the Emmys treatment of “The Wire” – often included among the greatest TV programs of all ages – which they did not win in five seasons, but only. Nominated twice. “The gardens and entertainment” is one of the three best comedies in the twenty -first century, “says Lynch. “Never win the one Emmy’s prize is unacceptable.”

Pilach says the bias of type is another concern. “This has done against some of the offers that were overlooked, such as” Buffy The Vampire Slayer “. Although” Buffy “won a creative artist, for makeup and musical composition, it was against” The Sopranos “and” The West Wing ” – a kind of drama that works traditionally with voters – when it was nominated in 2000 To write.

“Sometimes, coordination and tone work against it,” says Pilac. “It is clear that this is true in” it is always sunny in Philadelphia. “It is scheduled to offer its seventeenth season in July,” Sunny “, only three gestures of coordination. “It is very strange and is very popular among the younger crowd, like my students.” “Bojack Horseman’s” six surreal seasons similarly resulted in only three gestures.

The filtration process itself can be a challenge. “You only offer one episode,” Lynch notes. “When we think about prizes worthy, we think about full seasons, or multiple seasons, but the voter only watches any episode that is presented, which can be a great show for a scene or two but not give you all the context you need to estimate this offer. Sometimes I don’t know how to fix it. To their credit, I tried the TV Academy. Every few years change the procedures in voting and sometimes I do not know it.”

In addition, voters may lack a lot of time to focus on anything but their own work: “If I ask the contestants and producers what they are watching, they say:“ I am very busy, I have no time to see anything. ”This is also a problem,” says Linch.

“The other thing that we have seen, even more than two years, is that Amy’s voters often vote reflective for anything they voted for previous years.” “There was something like a“ modern family ”wins every year. Now we are getting a lot of scanning operations, which became more clear in 2020 when“ Schitt’s Creek ”was running the painting. It is difficult for other shows to get there when you only have a small handful of offers that fly all the prizes.” If the offers do not win early on its operation, it will be difficult for them to penetrate it later.

Lynch loves to see a way for members of the TV Academy to vote for shows as soon as they are seen clearly as part of the pantons. “It is only the time that will give you this feeling of the heritage of the show. But this is a TV work; no one will see Emmy’s show in 2025 that gives prizes for offers from 2015.”

Then again, the EMMYS Governorate Award was sometimes awarded for offers, and the entire “Star Trek” concession won the Conservative Award in 2018 in appreciation of its permanent impact, finally celebrated that first series of Emmy (along with six others). There may be hope for the “wire” so far.
