The Emmys did pretty well with their nominations this year, but let’s pour one out for the deserving but forgotten folks whose work was not recognized.

Good work, Emmys!

For the most part, your nominations did a solid job of reflecting the state of prestige television in 2018. The fact that there is a place for shows like American Vandal and Barry to compete against perennial stalwarts like Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley is a testament to the sheer amount of quality television options available on platforms ranging from NBC to HBO to Netflix.

Let’s first praise the Emmys for what they got right:

Yvonne Strahovski got her nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama

Ted Danson got his nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy

Brian Tyree Henry got his nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

GLOW, Atlanta and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel got Outstanding Comedy Series nominations (even though none of them are comedies, but whatever)

But as always, there were a few egregious snubs this year of folks and shows who did work worthy of being recognized. We won’t get into the people who were nominated at the expense of them (*cough* Joseph Fiennes is the worst part of The Handmaid’s Tale *cough*) but here are a few people and programs that deserved better during the 2018 Emmy nominations.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Rachel Bloom

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is one of the best five shows on television regardless of category, and Bloom is both its creative force and extremely capable star. Think about how hard it is to craft funny, engaging, heartbreaking plot lines for 13-plus episodes of an hour-long show while also writing and performing at least two original songs a week.

The fact that the clip above of Rebecca Bunch’s darkest moment didn’t get Bloom an Outstanding Actress in a Comedy category is awards-show malpractice. Hopefully she gets her due next year for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s final season, if for nothing else as a nod to her impressive four-year run as comedy’s most potent triple threat.

SMILF and Frankie Shaw

SMILF was probably a victim of coming out too early in the Emmys cycle in November 2017. That’s the only way to explain why this Showtime dramedy was completely snubbed from the Emmy nominations, particularly for both Outstanding Comedy Series and creator/star Frankie Shaw for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.

She brought a raw, broken energy to single mom Bridgette Bird, and was able to do some hilariously raunchy stuff you can only get away with on Showtime. She and SMILF were both nominated for Golden Globes, so it’s a shock the Emmys didn’t show them similar love.

Everyone on Brooklyn Nine-Nine

What the heck Emmys?! Everyone just spent the last two months reminding you just how beloved and hilarious Brooklyn Nine-Nine is. How can you do Cheddar like this?

At least Sterling K. Brown was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for the bottle episode when Jake and Holt had to get him to admit to murder. But then why weren’t Andre Braugher and Andy Samberg also recognized for their stellar work in that episode and beyond? These snubs are neither noice or toit.

The Good Place

It’s unfortunate that the best pure comedy on TV wasn’t nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. Ted Danson is the only person representing The Good Place in the major categories, which is a forking shame.

What more does this show have to do to prove it’s among television’s best comedies, if not the best? Wait, we’re living in a world where The Good Place isn’t considered to be one of the best seven or eight comedies on TV by the Emmy Awards. This is the bad place!

Alison Brie, specifically

At least Betty Gilpin got her well-earned GLOW nomination. But equally deserving was Brie, the ostensible star of the show, who both displayed the physical skills required of a wrestler and somehow made a character whose main personality trait was being unlikable sympathetic.

It was impressive work from an actress who spent years cutting her teeth on comedies like Community and dramas like Mad Men. GLOW allowed her to display both of those skills in spades, and she should have gotten an Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series nomination for her stellar work.

The Deuce and Maggie Gyllenhaal

There’s probably a clear explanation for why the David Simon-created The Deuce was completely shut out of the Emmys. The show starred James Franco (in two roles no less), and the allegations of his sexual misdeeds probably scared the Emmys off from allowing this show any time in its ceremony.

That’s a shame, because Gyllenhaal gave an Emmy-worthy performance as prostitute-turned-porn-director Candy. If she comes back just as strong on next season of The Deuce (if there even is one), then she should definitely be a prime candidate for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama. Actually, if they retool the show and make her the star (which they should), maybe she’ll be gunning for Lead Actress in a Drama next year.
