Outstanding Drama Series

Better Call Saul (AMC)
House of Cards (Netflix)
Stranger Things (Netflix)
The Crown (Netflix)
The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu)
This Is Us (NBC)
Westworld (HBO)

Damn. Only 2 of the nominations are on standard cable networks. Netflix putting in work.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Woo! Let's go Westworld!

 

[broncobuster]

All I want is for San Junipero to win something.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I expect The Crown to get some wins. Seems like the sort of thing that appeals to most Emmy voters.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Hoping for that Westworld sweep.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Westworld only deserves to sweep the technical awards.

 

[Volimar]

Best of luck to Stranger Things and especially Westworld. What an incredible first season.

Bestest of luck to Jeffrey Wright.

 

[Jarmel]

Holy shit Stranger Things got a nomination?

 

[Arcia]

Nice.

 

[TheBioLover]

Pulling for Charlie Brooker (San Junipero) and Better Call Saul! Wouldn't be upset if Westworld won over BCS though.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Holy shit Stranger Things got a nomination?

Not just that, it's the favorite to win Outstanding Drama Series.

 

[Geist-]

I'd be fine with either Stranger Things or Westworld

Spoiler

but all of the nominations are pretty good.

 

[Sean C]

I'm rooting for Millie Bobby Brown to win.

 

[Jarmel]

Not just that, it's the favorite to win Outstanding Drama Series.

Really? That's insane. I'll have to check up on this now.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I think it’s pretty clear there is a top three and a bottom three for Best Drama.

1. The Haidmaid’s Tale
2. Better Call Saul
3. The Crown

4. Westworld

5. Stranger Things
6. This Is Us
7. House of Cards


Personally I’ll be happy if any of the top three win, they excelled in story, directing and acting. Westworld is a definite Dark Horse. Stranger Things was merely above-average, nothing extraordinary about it. This Is Us, was the freshest thing on network tv in years, but that’s not a high bar to climb. House of Cards was absolutely abmysal, and shouldn’t have even been nominated with numerous other shows that could have taken its place.

 

[Sean C]

My rankings of the drama series:

1. Stranger Things - pure fun.
2. The Crown - much smarter version of Downton Abbey, and it's nice to see a prestige streaming drama that cares about individual episodes.
3. The Handmaid's Tale - zeitgeist-y as hell, though I think there are some growing pains in terms of making the book into an ongoing rather than a miniseries.
4. Westworld - not as smart or revelatory as it seems to think it is.

House of Cards sucks. For whatever reason, I fell off watching Better Call Saul after season one, so I can't opine on its current quality; I'm sure it's very good. Never watched This Is Us.

 

[AoM]

Not just that, it's the favorite to win Outstanding Drama Series.

Not sure about that. WaffleTaco's post is closer to what I've been hearing.

 

[jelly]

I'll be annoyed if House of Cards wins anything. It's not unwatchable but calling it coasting is being kind. Couldn't they have stuck something better in there for an award.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Holy shit Stranger Things got a nomination?

18 nominations in fact

[Jigorath]

Have a feeling Stranger Things is going to sweep.

 

[Demoskinos]

Nice.

 

[B-Dex]

It's drag race's year to shine.

 

[Gorillaz]

Colbert nowadays usually does better when he has someone else to bounce off of (when he's not going political) Idk about hosting an award show.

 

[Kordelle]

haven't watched too many of these, but Stranger Things and Big little Lies were awesome, hope they get some Emmys tonight.
Edit: And Silicon Valley of course.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Pretty meh crop this year. Not particularly excited.

Kind of rooting for Handsmaid's Tale and Stranger things though.


I am not a fan of how the Emmys tend to nominate the same couple shows in every category. I think the Oscars do a far better job of spreading around nominations to the worthy.

[Aaronology]

I think I'll only be rooting for the Westworld cast in general. Evan Rachel Wood, Hopkins and Jeffrey Wright were all outstanding.

Newton was the stand out for me. I loved her character.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I enjoy Master of None and Atlanta, but they've always felt way more like dramas than comedies.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Colbert nowadays usually does better when he has someone else to bounce off of (when he's not going political) Idk about hosting an award show.

So Colbert isn't very good when he's just alone and discussing non-political topics.

Which is... when?

 

[Nobility]

I'm just here for people saying x was robbed, y is overrated, etc.

Would be happy for Atlanta, Westworld and Stranger Things wins tonight.

 

[Hubbl3]

This is Us is probably gonna sweep.

I was kind of sad to not see more of the cast from Atlanta nominated for stuff. I'm hoping Atlanta takes something home though cause I really enjoyed it.

Other than that, I hope Stranger Things sweeps its categories.

 

[hydruxo]

I think it’s pretty clear there is a top three and a bottom three for Best Drama.

1. The Haidmaid’s Tale
2. Better Call Saul
3. The Crown

4. Westworld

5. Stranger Things
6. This Is Us
7. House of Cards


Personally I’ll be happy if any of the top three win, they excelled in story, directing and acting. Westworld is a definite Dark Horse. Stranger Things was merely above-average, nothing extraordinary about it. This Is Us, was the freshest thing on network tv in years, but that’s not a high bar to climb. House of Cards was absolutely abmysal, and shouldn’t have even been nominated with numerous other shows that could have taken its place.

Nah. One of, if not, the best drama series of 2016. Deserves the win.

 

[SchrodingerC]

C'mon Elisabeth Moss, get that lead actress Emmy!

 

[Arkeband]

People here seem to be overvaluing The Night Of, which was kind of a wet fart of a series that had a great pilot and then floundered its way to an unsatisfying end with uneven performances.

 

[Hubbl3]

People here seem to be overvaluing The Night Of, which was kind of a wet fart of a series that had a great pilot and then floundered its way to an unsatisfying end with uneven performances.

Yeah, I didn't care for Naz at all. I would absolutely take a show featuring John Turturro's character and the cases he takes on though

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Hope Mr. Greg wins!

 

[SchrodingerC]

I just realized TTGO is in the same category as Steven Universe and Adventure Time.
How the hell did that thing get nominated.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Not sure about that. WaffleTaco's post is closer to what I've been hearing.

Betting favorite.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

There are a lot of categories that have multiple people/shows I'd like to see win this year so I don't think I'll get too worked up about who wins what. The only thing bothering me here is it's absurd that House of Cards is still making the Outstanding Drama list in 2017. Not a huge fan of The Crown being there either but it's expensive looking and British enough to get people to vote for it.

 

[Htown]

I just realized TTGO is in the same category as Steven Universe and Adventure Time.
How the hell did that thing get nominated.

It's a good show.

 

[SalvaPot]

I'm still angry the guy who played Chuck in BCS didn't get a nomination.

 

[Atraveller]

Nice.

 

[Grizzlyjin]
