For a few years, awards shows went into a strange pandemic phase where social distancing was the name of the game, and that didn’t help an overall staleness already at work. No one wants to host these shows anymore, given that things become political real fast, and old tweets tend to emerge with much trouble. That’s no good! So yes, these ceremonies became a dull affair, and then came this year’s Oscars. Chris Rock and Will Smith and the smack heard ’round the world made things interesting again. And here we are with nominations for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, where some form of boisterousness will hopefully continue.
What shows are not eligible this year due to air-date specificity? The Boys, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Crown, The Mandalorian, and more. That’s alright, though, because Succession, Stranger Things, and Better Call Saul are all likely to rack up multiple nominations. Will a nod finally go to Rhea Seehorn for her turn as Kim Wexler? One can only hope, but we should expect to see representation from Ozark, Barry, The Staircase, Only Murders In The Building, Killing Eve, Euphoria, Squid Game, Killing Eve, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and more of the usual suspects. And again, fingers crossed for Rhea Seehorn.
Here’s the complete list of nominees, and The Emmys will air on Sunday, September 4.
