After months of anticipation, the Emmy nominations are finally in, and they’re honoring a long list of well-deserved shows. The list of contenders for this year’s ceremony brought several pretty big snubs and surprises, and here are five that got everyone talking.

Surprise: Outstanding Comedy Series

Some of the most surprising nominations of the year hail from the outstanding comedy series category. PEN15, Emily in Paris, and Cobra Kai will be competing against obvious front-runners, such as Ted Lasso and The Flight Attendant.

Snub: Small Axe

Steve McQueen gave us one of the best anthology series of 2020 with Small Axe, with amazing performances from Letitia Wright and John Boyega, but the Emmy voters weren’t paying attention.

Surprise: The Boys

The majority of contenders in the outstanding drama series category were easy to predict, but it was a surprise to see Amazon’s superhero satire The Boys make the cut.

Snub: Nicole Kidman – The Undoing

Kidman received Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for her performance in The Undoing, so it was a surprise not to see her repeat the same success at the Emmys.

Surprise: Hamilton

Seeing Hamilton score a nomination for the outstanding variety special wasn’t surprising, but the acting nomination for seven of its cast members wasn’t something we expected.

The huge popularity of the superhero genre completely changed the pop culture landscape, but Marvel and DC are no longer the only studios leading the way. TV shows about superheroes are getting more unconventional as time goes by, and these three series are changing the game.

The Boys

Amazon’s dark comedy is a great satire of superhero movies and the way they operate, and its second season is coming our way this week. It centers around a group of corrupt superheroes controlled by a powerful corporation and vigilantes trying to take them down.

The Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy follows a group of child superheroes who must reunite to save the world after their father’s death. The dynamic between the members of this dysfunctional family is the heart of the show, which feels like a darker yet more hilarious version of X-Men.

Raising Dion

Most superhero series and movies show powerful individuals teaming up and saving the world, but not Raising Dion. The titular hero of this show is still a little kid coming to terms with his superpowers with the help of his mother who’s trying to shield him from the world.
