The 2011 Emmy Nominations are out and while many of the best primetime dramas on television took home well-deserved Outstanding Drama nominations, every year someone ends up snubbed. I was shocked to see Showtime’s Shameless not get an Outstanding Drama nomination. Surely the Gallagher family had some outlandish scheme planned to get the nomination; what the hell happened?
I am ecstatic Justified took home acting nominations for Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins and Margo Martindale, but someone needs to arrest the Emmy voters who didn’t give the series an Outstanding Drama nomination.
While AMC’s Mad Men took home Outstanding Drama nomination, The Walking Dead and The Killing were both snubbed. Each is critically acclaimed and The Walking Dead was a big ratings hit. When Zombies take over the country, Emmy voters had better not look for police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to save them.
Fox’s Fringe may have to go to another realm to get an Outstanding Drama nomination, but if that’s what it takes then how do I get there? Why is The Good Wife the only remaining broadcast drama good enough to go toe-to-toe with cable series for Outstanding Drama? Surely, series such as Fringe, and others, are worthy of the category.
Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones are both celebrating Outstanding Drama nominations, but what about two other HBO series, True Blood and Treme?
Which series was the biggest Outstanding Drama snub?
