Fortunate for her actress, Sydney Sweeney, awards matter a lot more than the withheld affections of an abusive high school student. She’s able to earn the attention of everyone except the object of her desires: Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs. Surprise: Sydney Sweeney gets her first Emmy nod for Euphoria.

Here’s a real shocker: This Is Us, one of the most beloved cable series of the past decade, wrapped up a superb final season, and it earned zero Emmy nominations.

Snub: Ghosts, Reservation Dogs, The Afterparty, The Righteous Gemstones, and Our Flag Means Death are left out of Best Comedy Series contention.

Smoove and Melissa Fumero announced the nominees on July 12.with the exception of a few glaring omissions. For the most part, the shows and actors most deserving of awards-show attention earned their keep when J. Turns out, not that mad! Voters turned in their ballots with care this go-round-not an easy task, given the stacked competition in the era of Too Much TV. The question was never, Will an incredible show get snubbed? But rather, Which one, and how mad will I be about it? With 754 submissions in Emmys contention this year, the odds that numerous well-deserving series would escape the glow of a little golden angel dropped from likely to certain.
