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.

If you enjoy watching TV shows with a clear beginning, middle, and end, you’re probably a huge fan of mini-series. HBO is the true master of this television format, and they have several promising limited series coming our way this fall.

The Third Day

The Third Day follows a series of mysterious events taking place at the British island of Osea, through the eye of two individuals who arrive here at different times. This series is worth watching for its cast alone since it stars Jude Law, Naomie Harris, and Katherine Waterston.

We Are Who We Are

Just like Call Me by Your Name, Luca Guadagnino’s latest coming-of-age tale takes us back to Italy. It explores the search for friendship, first love, and identity of two American teenagers growing up at an American military base near Venice.

The Undoing

Nicole Kidman’s collaboration with HBO continues with this drama series directed by the Emmy-winner Susanne Bier. It also stars Hugh Grant and Édgar Ramírez and centers on a successful therapist whose life falls apart on the eve of publishing her debut book.
