Snub: Yellowstone Universe
Emmy voters didn’t show much love to the shows from the Yellowstone saga, and the omission of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren for their roles in the prequel 1923 was especially jarring.
Snub: House of the Dragon Cast
House of the Dragon nabbed the best drama nod, but the race in acting categories is so crammed this year that the stellar performances from Paddy Considine and Emma D’Arcy failed to make a cut.
Surprise: Obi-Wan Kenobi
The list of nominated shows for outstanding limited or anthology series was full of surprises, with Black Bird missing out, making room for such unexpected nominees as Fleishman Is in Trouble, Daisy Jones & the Six, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Surprise: Jury Duty
One of the most pleasant surprises this year saw the acclaimed, but overlooked comedy Jury Duty unexpectedly score the best comedy nod.
Snub: Best Comedy Field
Even though it was nice to see Jury Duty get credit where credit is due, watching the Television Academy completely ignore Poker Face, The Other Two, and Reservation Dogs left a sour taste in our mouths.
Snub: Bad Sisters
The star-studded Irish black comedy Bad Sisters was one of the most delightful new series to premiere last year, but Emmy voters didn’t seem to vibe with it.

Plot Line
The plot of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is still being kept under the wraps, but it is expected to take place ten years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat after Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader.
Cast
Ewan McGregor is set to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he won’t be the only one reprising his iconic Star Wars role. Hayden Christensen will make a comeback as Anakin Skywalker, while Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are set to return as Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.
The rest of the cast will feature newcomers to the franchise: Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit), Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Rupert Friend (Homeland), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Sung Kang (Fast & Furious), Simone Kessell (Reckoning) and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems director).

Obi-Wan Kenobi still doesn’t have an official release date, but it’s expected to start shooting this month. Deborah Chow, who previously helmed two episodes of The Mandalorian, is set to serve as the director of all six episodes.
