Here are some of those snubbed that really left a bad taste in our mouth. Who do you think was overlooked for this year's Emmys? Tell us.
Roseanne – After star Barr's online racist rant, ABC's pink slipping of the ratings winner and the network pulling the plug on the FYC campaign, it seemed unlikely that the short lived revival of the blue collar comedy would be a serious contender Yet, hope sprung eternal for John Goodman or Sara Gilbert. In the end the show only delivered a nom for Laurie Metcalf. Of course, there's The Conners spinoff coming so perhaps next year the laughs will return for the gang.
Jane Fonda – The Oscar winner's Grace & Frankie co-star Lily Tomlin was nominated once again but there was no repeat performance for the resurgent Fonda in 2018.
Will & Grace – Well watched, the return of the once influential and well past Emmy rewarded sitcom was still left out of the Best Comedy race for its ninth season and only saw traction for Megan Mullally in the Supporting Category.
The Looming Tower – Star Jeff Daniels got a Best Actor nomination but oddly Hulu's outstanding Limited Series on the lead-up to the attack of 9/11 was non-starter itself.
The Good Doctor – Shockingly after a big FYC campaign, The Good Doctor star Freddie Highmore and the ABC hit itself was not in good health when it came to Emmys today.
Game Of Thrones' Kit Harington & Emilia Clarke – The HBO blockbuster and two-time Emmy Best Drama winner is back after a year out of the race and battling for that TV Iron Throne again. However, in GoT's penultimate season, the King of the North and the Mother of Dragons are seemingly on ice
Mindhunter – Primarily helmed by David Fincher, the Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Hannah Gross led Netflix serial killer series was a masterstroke but obviously didn't get stuck in TV Academy members' heads in the right way. Having launched its first season back in October 2017 was this an Emmy case of out of sight, out of mind?
Jimmy Fallon – Turns out nice guys don't just finish last this year with Emmy voters, they don't even get on the field.
Holly Taylor – We've literally and figuratively watched her literally grow up on the small screen as the daughter of Soviet moles in The Americans to become one of the finest actors of her generation. Yet, for the FX drama's final season, there was no collusion to reward a job so very well done. That Paige Jennings spinoff better come now to show TV Academy voters how wrong they were.
Alisa Grace – That other show based on a Margaret Atwood book did very well this morning but this harrowing Sarah Gadon led Netflix series had no Emmy tale to tell this year.
Michael Kelly – Yes, the allegations of misconduct by Kevin Spacey put a shadow over House of Cards but three-time past Emmy nominee Kelly's performance as President Frank Underwood's trouble and perpetual bagman Doug Stamper shined yet again in the Netflix political drama's now penultimate season.
Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. – There were sparkling performances by Marcc Rose and Wavyy Jones as the iconic MCs solid turns by Josh Duhamel and Jimmi Simpson as investigating cops and Anthony Hemingway's fluid direction, among other treats of the USA Network show. So, like the still unsolved murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls, it is a mystery why Unsolved is un-nominated this morning.
The Walking Dead – Being left out of the Emmy race for the most part year after year, the exclusion of TWD has become a broken record on the snubs stereo but the fact is that though the AMC series may be long in the tooth now and heading towards some big changes Andrew Lincoln, Lauren Cohen, Danai Gurira, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were killing it last season. What will it take to bring this genre barrier down? An invasion of the Kingdom?
Ray Donovan – nothing for Liev Schreiber or the heart breaking exit of Paula Malcomson from the Showtime drama. Looks like the premium cabler needs a Hollywood fixer of its own on this one.
