Sure, Emmy nomination day could just as soon be called Emmy snubs day, considering the vast majority of TV series’ casts and crews don’t get recognized for their efforts.
Still, one always wants to give the TV Academy the benefit of the doubt in most cases, since so many past Emmy nominees have been perfectly worthy.
So as far as the Emmys go, the past three seasons of foundational storytelling definitely weren’t up to the standards of, say, The Mandalorian, Bridgerton or Bodyguard.
But it’s maddening that we’re in the year 2021, waiting desperately for Yellowstone Season 4 to arrive, and the cable western has only received a single Emmy nomination, and it only earned that one today!
