Emmys 2024: The 15 Biggest Snubs
Happy Emmys Day! Well, "happy" for some people.
Nominations for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced earlier today by Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph, and while we're thrilled for many (if not most) of the shows and stars who heard their names read aloud during the live broadcast — including some of the surprising and well-deserved first-time nominees — we can't help but lament a few that we really expected to hear... but didn't.
Nothing for The Curse, nor for leading lady Emma Stone? And while we're thrilled about Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey receiving individual nods, where was the love for Fellow Travelers as a whole? And don't even get us started on Fargo's Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Look, we get it — with more high-quality shows on broadcast, cable and streaming than ever before, it's impossible to honor everyone. In a "fair" world, the categories would be expanded to include twice as many nominees. But life isn't fair, and neither are the Emmys.
This year's Emmys ceremony will be broadcast live by ABC on Sunday, Sept. 15 from Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. Read on for a breakdown of the stars and shows (arranged alphabetically) that we feel deserved to be included among the just-announced nominees, then drop a comment with your own picks. Who were you hoping to see honored with a nod?
