No support for Maslaney. The Good Wife gets no series nomination William H Macy gets a deserved nomination.
They're not?TravisR said:but Netflix shows aren't TV shows
I talked about it in the Orphan Black thread but since they don't air on a network or run on a cable channel, they're not TV series. That certainly doesn't mean that they're bad (if House Of Cards was on TV, I'd have no problem with its nomination) but they're web series.Scott Hanson said:They're not?
Yeah I don't know about that. I see your point, but in this day and age I don't think you should differentiate that. Eventually everything will be "web series". For what it's worth, none of the official nomination categories indicate "television". And even the emmy.com site defines the awards as "The Emmy Awards recognize excellence within various areas of television and emerging media."TravisR said:I talked about it in the Orphan Black thread but since they don't air on a network or run on a cable channel, they're not TV series.

You make a good point and unlike many groups in the entertainment industry, the Emmys seem to be embracing the future and technology rather than racing to catch up once it's too late but if it was up to me, those shows would be honored in a web awards ceremony. If they were nominated for web awards, think how funny it would be to see Spacey or Wright at an awards show seated next to a guy who is nominated for taking a cell phone video of his cat playing a piano.Scott Hanson said:Yeah I don't know about that.

I feel bad knocking a show that I know many people love but, given its hype and critical praise, I don't think Downton Abbey really slipped this year because I don't think it was ever that great.mattCR said:...Downton Abbey was outright awful this last year and deserved nothing.
Archer got a Best Animated Series nomination, too. Another FX show.JohnMor said:I'm VERY happy that the three shows I watched this year led the nods to be the top three most nominated. And two if them on FX. Very impressive for that network.
Yes, very pleased about the number of nominations for the Sherlock episode "His Last Vow," unquestionably the best of this year's three episodes.Neil Middlemiss said:I think there were some stunning snubs this year (more so than usual). Having said that, I was quite proud of the representation of Brits in this year's list of nominees (Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock, Luther, Downton Abby, etc.).
But America has some good stuff too
