Earlier today, Katey Rich summed up the positives and negatives with this year’s Emmy nominations. The nominations are par for the course with how these things can go…poorly. There are some clear cut mistakes in the nominations, but for time’s sake I’ll focus on the Outstanding Drama series rather than nitpick my way through the acting categories.
In a clear case of “We picked some deserving shows and then picked the glitzy and entertaining ones to round out the group,” the Emmy nominators took the Outstanding Drama Series category and made some pretty huge mistakes that can make one question how such oversights are possible.
The nominees for Outstanding Drama Series are:
Breaking Bad
The Good Wife
Lost
Mad Men
Dexter
True Blood
