Primetime Emmy Awards Nominations: The Complete List

The Television Academy revealed nominations for the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

deadline.com

Including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress In A Drama Series. Both Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey got nominated. Also Nick Offerman, Murray Bartlett and others got nominated for their roles. Deserved. I haven't watched the other shows so I don't know what kind of chances this has to win.

 

[M.W.]

It was a fine show. That's all.

 

[jason10mm]

I liked it well enough but that seems like a LOT of noms personally.

Then again, tv these days is so mediocre I guess it stands above.

 

[Z O N E]

It was a fine show. That's all.

Yeah, this is where I'm at. There wasn't anything "WOW" about it at all that makes it stand out from other shows.

 

[12Goblins]

Not unexpected from the creator of Chernobyl. Never played the game but I enjoyed the show

 

[SlimySnake]

So 22 nominations more than the wire received in its entire 5 season run.

Emmys are a joke.

 

[bitbydeath]

This is a good thing, love or hate the show, it was a high quality production and shows if some effort is applied then games can do well in other formats.

'Actress'

 

[Yoboman]

Hope they get some wins but Succession deserves to clean up

 

[DKehoe]

Half of the lead actor in a drama series nominations are for Succession. Which is kinda crazy but also deserved. I’d be happy with any of them winning that but I think Kieran Culkin was particularly good in that last season.

 

[Batiman]

It was decent. A little overhyped IMO. Will continue watched though.

 

[JonSnowball]

Watch this instead: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2384811/

Stiffer competition back then. Says more about what Hollywood has been pumping out now.

Obligatory,
"Druckmann can't keep getting away with this."

 

[Raonak]

Great show, well deserved

If TLOU was up against The Sopranos like The Wire was it wouldn't get shit.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I mean....It was ok.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

How did Bella Ramsey get a nomination? It’s all just political anyway and not indicative of the quality of a show.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I liked it for doing what most other shows do not, they use the source material almost to the point of being 1 - 1 with the game, instead of butchering it with a whole new story/characters that made no sense and making a shit show that we are accustomed for game/books adaptations. I hope this trend keeps going and we have 1 - 1 shows.

I want my ff16 adaptation:

Most people have been praising the performance so it was expected. Bella Ramsey is great Ellie.

 

[Gp1]

It's an ok show, but i can't really care with any of the secondary characters give that everyone dies with 30 min of screen time. Except the gay couple and maybe the brothers.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone who didn't played the games find the series average at the best.

 

[GymWolf]

If forehead manage to win we really are in the worst timeline ever.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Not unexpected from the creator of Chernobyl. Never played the game but I enjoyed the show

You're doing yourself a disservice, you should have a go.

 

[Fbh]

Damn this is so impressive I think Druckmann should be offered a full time job at HBO

 

[clarky]

It was just ok for me.

Felt far too rushed. I would have liked to have seen say a 6 episode season that just concentrated on the initial outbreak. They could have gotten 3-4 seasons out of the first game alone if they just expanded some stuff.

 

[20cent]

well yeah the acting and writing were through the roof, so deserved. So blessed to be alive and have experienced peak TV
#soblessed

 

[Spyxos]

The game was a lot better. The series was okay, but nothing special.

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

Better bank as many as possible before everyone stops caring in season 2.

 

[Putyouinmyoven]

I thought that the TV show was pretty good, but 24 Emmy nominations sounds like... a lot.

Is that Eminem?!?

Is that Eminem?!?

Yes. Absolutely.

 

[Davesky]

It’s a partisan wonderland.

 

[Chronicle]

Wow that's great.

Emmy Meme, I think

[EverydayBeast]

Enjoyed the last of us, it’s in the conversation for best tv shows of all time. Not every show needs a Walt drug dealer or a Jack lost doctor.

Succession got 27.

Ok now i'm sure that you are a rogue IA.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I'm just grateful for all the unknown founders and board members making decisions on what's good.

I now feel validated and can ignore all my criticism. I'll sleep like a baby tonight surely!

 

[DetectiveBananas]

I guess the real test will be the Golden Globes at the end of the year. Competition gets a lot stiffer by then. Watching the show just made me appreciate how well the game voice actors were. Best of luck to all involved.

 

[adamsapple]

Yep. Last of Us was good. Succession was amazing.

If TLOU was up against The Sopranos like The Wire was it wouldn't get shit.

It's up against Better Call Saul which has 50 nominations in six seasons. Probably the best show over the last 6 seasons. TLOU has already earned half the number of nominations in 1 season.

Sucession, Andor, House of Dragon and The Crown are all fantastic shows with way better production values, acting and story. I have no idea why some people think this is a weak year when Andor is probably the best star wars show/movie in 40 years and House of Dragon revived Game of Thrones from life support.

I think we all know why this show got that many nominations.

I don't disagree.

 

[VulcanRaven]

General public seem to enjoy this show a lot more than people here think. Most who complain are gamers. Also I'm sure most of the Emmy voters haven't played the game.

 

[CanYouFlyBobby?]

i heard the ellie actor is intolerable

Better Call Saul ended on it's worst season. It's got a few nomination nods, but won't be winning much if anything

Only Succession from your list is better than TLOU. It got sommany nominations because of incredible acting, direction and an all time great story that delivered something unforgettable both in the game and for new audiences on TV.

 

[ADiTAR]

I stopped watching after that mushroom covered costume guy episode, where they again killed a character introduced in the start of the episode.
I thouhght it was silly, cause unlike the others who just came at the people to turn them, he actually murdered people. It prob makes sense in a game but not in a TV series, for me at least.

I also thought it was a cheap emotional cheat to kill off characters you just introduced.

I just started Succession yesterday. This is great to hear.

That scene with the bloater is probably my least favorite part of the show. I hope you continue watching because episode 6 is great.

 

[Yoboman]

One of the best shows HBO has done and definitely one of the best final seasons, whereas most shows struggle to stick the landing Succession is the rare show that gets better each season and concludes on a peak

Appalling idea lol
