I know he’s eligible for International. But if Heated Rivalry was able to compete in Primetime would he have been nominated? The show has already been honored by the Tv Arts and Sciences with the Television Academy Honors Award. It also won the Peabody. Almost every show that wins a Peabody gets Emmy nominations. And he’s widely considered to have given the best performance on that show.

Here's my list of 25 amazing performances which were snubbed for an Emmy Nomination. I'll be marking the ones that I thought should have won, too!

7. Anna Torv for Fringe - Best Actress in a Drama
8. Danny Pudi for Community - Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy

10. Justin Theroux for The Leftovers - Best Actor in a Drama
11. Nicole Kidman for The Expats - Best Actress in a Miniseries
12. Eva Green for Penny Dreadful - Best Actress in a Drama - Should have won for Season 1

Very excited to see Britt Lower in this, she’s a force as Helly/Helena in Severance so I really want to see more of her.

I can’t really tell if Zendaya’s performance is supposed to be one of the best this year of if she’s just being carried by the fact that she won for the previous two seasons. Overall I have found the lead actress lineups for Drama series to be rather disappointing in the past few years and not a reflection of who actually should’ve been nominated. Kathy Bates for instance is clearly riding off of career recognition considering Matlock has otherwise not received any buzz, and I’ve heard it’s unwatchable. I also thought Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon both getting in for The Morning Show S3 in 2024 was ridiculous. And I still don’t get how Sharon Horgan somehow snuck her way in last year when Bad Sisters S2 wasn’t remotely being talked about and Gold Derby didn’t even have in the top 15? I feel like there are too many instances where Emmy voters prioritize repeat nominations over who actually deserves it.

This year the only Drama lead actress performance I’m very excited about is Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus, she really carried that show on her back and was amazing. Keri Russell is also a strong contender and won at SAG but was her performance in The Diplomat S3 really a standout compared to previous seasons or did people finally decide it was her year? Either way those are the main two actresses in contention while it looks like everything else is just filler spots that Emmy voters are going to pick lazily, including Zendaya and Kathy Bates. I’m still disappointed that four White Lotus actresses got in for supporting actress over Genevieve O’Reilly in Andor.

The performance isn't bad. His portrayal of homelander has always been incredibly good, even this season. But given he's gotten little to no recognitionf or this role, I thought that the final season could at least push for a narrative. But the season has been absolutely bonkers and fully dedicated to setting up a spinoff rather than closing storylines, so do y'all think if the final season of The Boys was any better, Anthony could've gotten a nom?

I know this is a huge swing, but she's legit doing such good work on this show.

It's the role of her career and she's had quite a few already.

I know there's 0 chance of this happening, but a girl can dream.
