Hey friends! So, the 2025 Emmy nominations have dropped, and while there’s plenty to celebrate, I can’t help but feel a wave of disappointment over some major snubs. It’s like, how did we let such talent slip through the cracks? Let’s break it down and chat about who deserved a little more love this year.
The Bright Spots: Nominations to Celebrate
First off, can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that HBO’s The Pitt totally dominated the drama category? 🙌 And Martin Scorsese? I mean, his guest appearance in The Studio was literally scene-stealing! But while we’re riding that high, let’s not forget the incredible Adam Brody getting his moment as the hot rabbi in Nobody Wants This. That guy is giving us all the vibes! 😍
But here’s the thing: some of our fave shows and performers didn’t even get a nod. Before we dive into the snubs, let’s remember that eligibility is key. Shows like Too Much won’t be in the running until next year, and others, like Squid Game, were only eligible for earlier seasons. It’s a bit of a mess, right? 🤷♀️
The Snubs: Where’s the Love?
Okay, let’s talk about Justine Lupe for a sec. She absolutely crushed it in Succession and really showed her comedic chops in Nobody Wants This. Every minute she wasn’t on screen felt like a missed opportunity. Like, who else feels me on this? 😤
And let’s not forget about Skye P. Marshall from Matlock. She’s so talented and brings a unique energy to the show. Why didn’t she get nominated alongside Kathy Bates? It’s like we’re sleeping on some serious talent here! 😩
Moving on to The Pitt again—seriously, how did Taylor Dearden not get nominated for her role as Dr. Melissa King? Her emotional moments had me tearing up, and that’s usually classic Emmy bait. What’s going on, Academy? 😱
Then there’s Industry, which was snubbed for Outstanding Drama Series. Corinne Bickel from Cosmopolitan called it “egregious,” and I couldn’t agree more. Myha’la Herrold and Marisa Abela gave performances that were nothing short of phenomenal. It’s like the voters weren’t even watching! 😒
Surprising Omissions: The Shocking Snubs
Let’s keep this convo going—how is Late Night with Seth Meyers still getting ignored? The show continues to slay with its “A Closer Look” segments, yet the Television Academy only nominated three shows for Outstanding Talk Series. I mean, how many times does Seth have to prove himself? This is giving me major frustration vibes! 😤
And can we please talk about Interview with the Vampire? Consistently snubbed, it’s disheartening to see season 2 go without big nominations, especially for Jacob Anderson. They got recognized in the Makeup and Hairstyling category, so we know they’re on the radar. Why not give them the love they deserve? 😩
Let’s not forget Diego Luna in Andor. The show snagged 14 nominations, but he was overlooked. Like, he literally is the heart of the series! Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal got a nod for only a few episodes of The Last of Us. Can someone explain this logic to me?
What about Samantha Sloyan from The Pitt? Her guest appearance was heartbreaking, and honestly, she deserves a shoutout. If you watched that episode, you know what I mean! 🥺
So, now that we’ve ranted about these snubs and celebrated some wins, I want to hear from you! Who do you think got overlooked? What are your thoughts on the nominations? Let’s keep this conversation going! 💬✨
