UPDATED The 2024 Emmy nominations are out, but there are some surprising omissions. Or snubs.
In talk, Jimmy Fallon was excluded from the best shows. All his colleagues made it in, as well as The Daily Show. There are only four nominations in this category. Why isn’t he the fifth? Ridiculous.
In comedy, Kelsey Grammer’s reboot of “Frasier” was ignored. The actor, the show, all of it. The old “Frasier” couldn’t stop winning Emmys. But the first season of the new series just didn’t work.
HBO has its fewest number of noms in years. There are 91 scattered among “True Detective,” “Hacks,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “The Gilded Age,” but the grand old days of 127 (last year) nominations is over for now. The latter show, “The Gilded Age,” only yielded Best Actress in a Drama for Carrie Coon. But no Best Drama or other acting prizes except for Christine Baranski as Supporting Actress.
(Next season HBO should bounce back with “House of the Dragon” season 2 leading the way.)
Also not nominated, and he should have been: Jerry Seinfeld, for “Curb Your Enthuasiasm.” No “Curb” actors were nomination except for Larry David.
The good news: Selena Gomez was finally nominated for “Only Murders in the Building.” Much deserved!
The odd news: a strange nomination buried in the whole pack. But that’s showbiz.
