From The Bear to Shōgun, many beloved shows scored numerous Emmy nominations this Wednesday, but several fan favorites failed to make the cut. The list of nominees brought many notable snubs and surprises our way, and here are a few that got everyone talking.

Surprise: Reservation Dogs

After being ignored by the Television Academy time and time again, the final season of Reservation Dogs got the farewell it deserves—a nomination for the outstanding comedy series.

Snub: The Curse

Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie’s black comedy The Curse apparently went over the voters’ heads, and even the recent Oscar winner Emma Stone failed to score a nod for her role in this series.

Surprise: Fallout

Prime Video’s adaptation of the hit video game Fallout is the type of a show that the Emmys tend to ignore, but it sneaked into the crowded outstanding drama field and scored Walton Goggins his second Emmy nod.

Snub: Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet previously won two Emmys for Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown, but her latest collaboration with HBO—the political satire The Regime—failed to yield the same success.

Surprise: Selena Gomez

After ignoring Selena Gomez two years in a row, the TV Academy finally gave her an acting nod for her role in Only Murders in The Building, shortly after her triumph in Cannes with Emilia Pérez.

Snub: Kelsey Grammer

Many have expected Kelsey Grammer to score another Emmy nod after making a comeback as his most iconic character in the Frasier revival, but he’ll have to sit this one out.
