The Righteous Gemstones need to get revenge
It's time for TV to shine in Tinseltown with the 2022 Emmy Awards which were announced on Tuesday.
They're happening on 12 September and it's the 74th ceremony, meaning everyone who was there at the start ain't there no more.
Dark comedy Succession tops the charts with a deserving 25 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, which is a dilemma for us, because you could argue it should be considered for Outstanding Comedy Series too because of how brilliantly it combines genres.
The rest of the nominees in the Outstanding Drama Series category are deserving and we're especially pleased to see the recognition given to terrorific Yellowjackets and profound Severance.
With the exception of Ozark, we'd be happy for a win by any of the shows in the category BUT we have a major gripe with the Outstanding Comedy nominees because The Righteous Gemstones needs to be there.
It's a travesty that it's been snubbed because it's genuinely hysterical, and therefore truly outstanding.
It's also been further insulted because it only has
one measly nomination for Outstanding Stunt Coordination and that's it, nothing else - bah!
This undermines the credibility of the awards because it's everything an Outstanding Comedy should be, with Outstanding Actors so it doesn't make sense.
These are the nominees in the rah-rah categories... followed by a monster list of nomination breakdowns, with a link to every single category if you're looking for something to browse on your phone during
