Managed to nominate three actresses from Game of Thrones and none of them are Sophie Turner. The Emmys are so dumb.

I think the way a lot of people feel about the Oscars is how I feel about the Emmys. What they like and what I like has such a chasm between it that it's hard for me to really watch or care. I hope Jonathan Banks gets his Emmy for Mike Ehrmentraut as an apology for the fact that they gave it to Peter Dinklage for no good reason last year. I'd love for Kirsten Dunst to win but it's gonna go to Sarah Paulson and I don't think anyone can argue it. That's about it.

[Colly]

Good effort from the Beeb in the Actor in a miniseries bit.

[RPS]

Uh RuPaul and Drag Race were nominated for best host and best reality TV show. 

Best

Emmys 

Ever. 

[Alex.]

Why does Emilia Clarke get nominated every year for being so cringeworthy as Dany

 

and maisie wasnt even particularly good. Sophie shouldve got the nod instead. What a crock

[Your Mom]

Titus Andromedon for all the Emmys! 

[LittleDaniel]

No nods for Jane the Virgin.  Bah.  Silicone Valley is good too, glad to see that get nominated.  Apart from that...I don't really care about tv right now.

[Bobfoc]

I've watched very few of these shows, but it seems from an outsider's point of view that this is more of a list of big names than anything else. I like Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage, but I didn't think they had any outstanding moments this year. If this were only a Game of Thrones list, I'd have put Sophie Turner, Liam Cunningham and Jonathan Pryce ahead of them.
