Emmy Reactions: 1 Day Later

5 things concerning Emmy Nominations:
1. The Best Comedy Field
I have lots of problems with this. The first and foremost being that The Big Bang Theory is considered by the Emmy voters to still be worthy of a Best Comedy nom. Like it hasn't even been funny since Season 3. Modern Family is also very uneven. I wouldn't have nominated it at all. And I would also replace the 30 Rock or the Curb Your Enthusiasm nominations for Louie, Parks and Rec, and Community. I am happy to see Veep and Girls up there since I do think that they are probably the best new comedies of the season and two of the best shows on television now.

2. Acting Noms in Comedy
I wouldn't have Zooey Deschanel nominated. She isn't the best thing about her slightly better than good show. would have Laura Dern instead of Zooey Deschanel or Edie Falco. In the supporting actress, basically take away all the Modern Family noms. It is a bit ridiculous. And replace them with Zosia Mamet, Allison Brie, and Gillian Jacobs. And Audrey Plaza deserves to be up there as well. Also remove Kristin Wiig who is great in everything but SNL. Mayim Bialik is the best and only currently good thing about BBT so I am okay with her nom. I wouldn't have Don Cheadle, Jon Cryer, or Jim Parsons in the male field as noms. At least one of them (preferably Cryer) should have been replaced by Joel McHale. All the Modern Family noms should be replaced by Nick Offerman, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover, and Adam Scott in the supporting category.

3. Drama
I don't watch as much drama as I used to. But on the whole I am pretty pleased with the field. There are some acting noms I definitely disagree with (like Kathy Bates and Glenn Close) but on the whole I am happy with most of the nominations.

4. Miniseries or Movie
American Horror Story is awful. The fact that it got 17 nominations is a tragedy. Literally just a really awful TV show. And it isn't a miniseries at all. Game Change and Hatfields & McCoys both are not very stellar. Overall just a weak year in this category.

5. Reality Series
It is stupid that Amazing Race keeps getting nominated despite having slow, boring seasons. Dancing with the Stars, I don't think, is produced at a very high quality. Project Runway was really really bad these past two seasons, and The Voice needs a lot of fine tuning. Top Chef and So You Think You Can Dance are really the only deserving noms. I would put Work of Art and RuPaul's Drag Race both up there. Also, does Betty White have a deal with the devil? Just because she is on television does not mean that she needs to get nominated. Get Padma/Tom or better yet RuPaul up there instead. What a waste of a nomination.
