The nominations for the 69th Emmy awards were announced Thursday, July 13th. Unfortunately, they didn’t quite line up with our dream nominations. In fact, several phenomenal shows went completely overlooked. Many of the shows nominated are definitely deserving of love. However, many top comedies and dramas have been utterly snubbed. This list covers six such TV shows that deserve far more love than the Emmys are giving them.
1. American Gods
American Gods has so many things that make it a worthy Emmy nominee. From the creative team to the on-screen talent, the freshman Starz show is fantastic. It’s a shame American Gods has been ignored, considering how many shows got nominated off one season this year. The show is getting love for its visual effects, but not for its scripts or performances. American Gods will hopefully be on air for many years to come, and get a Best Drama nod at least once.
