In recent years, I haven’t stressed out about the Emmy nominations at all? I don’t know if it’s just getting older or simply understanding that the Emmys are incredibly mainstream and ill-equipped to handle the incredibly diverse and weird television programming these days. An Emmy nomination doesn’t mean a show is good and a lack of noms doesn’t mean a show is bad. It feels like more people get that now. Of course, to the people and shows which did get nominated, this week was a life-changing moment. I’m particularly happy for all of the love given to Abbott Elementary, one of the biggest success stories of the past year. There was also a lot of love for Yellowjackets, Succession, Severance and Only Murders in the Building. You can see the full list of 2022 nominees here. Here are the big categories:

So, so happy for the Succession cast and their nominations. I’ve seen some bitching already about how many Succession actors sucked up noms, but they deserve them, I don’t care. Matthew Macfadyen’s work in the third season was *chef’s kiss*. As was Jeremy Strong’s work. So happy for Abbott too, and all of those actors. Quinta Brunson is the first Black woman in the Television Academy’s history to receive three Comedy nominations in the same year. Love Janelle James’ nom and Tyler James Williams’ nom. Completely jazzed to see all of the love for Ted Lasso too, and I don’t care that those actors are hogging a lot of noms too, it’s well-deserved.
Some notable snubs: no This Is Us, no Yellowstone, Black-ish (no Emmy love for the final season), no Selena Gomez for Only Murders in the Building, no Atlanta for Best Comedy. No Jennifer Aniston for The Morning Show (lol) and no Julia Roberts for Gaslit (which I was watching but it got kind of tedious when the show focused too much on G. Gordon Liddy). Also: The Gilded Age only got one nom?!?! NOOOOO!! That show is so dumb and enjoyable, I thought the Academy would love it.
