Daily Blind Item — Unexpected Nom
Controversy is breaking out amongst Emmy members over an unexpected nomination many are calling undeserved.
‘It makes us look like a joke,’ one member shares exclusively to us.
Another worldly member elucidates, ‘This is why the Emmys get accused of being rigged.’
So, tell me, Gossipers:
What is our unexpected nomination?

If meme power can get Trump in the White House, meme power can get Barb nominated.

That’s genuinely why she’s nominated. It’s “justice” because the writers forgot about her after her disappearance…

Barb was also a baity character. After the season finished, the writers claimed she was a lesbian.

If you don’t your award show to be accused of being “rigged”, maybe you should taking bribes for votes.

You’d bloody think it was that simple. The Golden Globes are far and away the worst for taking bungs.

Bill Nye the Science Guy got a nom for best writing. For that horrible sex spectrum show.

Not only insightful and intelligent, that episode cast light on the plight of transsexuals. It earned that nomination.

Worst episode of television I have ever watched. I’m presuming Netflix paid off every Emmy voter to get that crap nominated.

The whole show is bad. It’s as if they watched Bill Nye the Science Guy, stripped away all the watchable qualities and accentuated the bad qualities. It’s smug liberal the show and even ignores science on several occasions to take “cool left” stances… It’s bad…

If one wanted to view inane, anti-Scientific liberal ramblings, dear, one would simply watch the “comedic” stylings of Janeane Garofalo.

Anthony Hopkins was nominated for Best Actor for Westworld. I’ve watched the whole show twice. Not only is Hopkins unworthy, but he isn’t even the lead.
LikeLike
I’m torn between this and the Bill Nye nomination.
Hopkin’s nomination is bigger and was a lot more unexpected, in my opinion, but is it really undeserved? It might not be the most deserved nom ever, but Hopkins is a big name actor and he played the role well.

I’ve bloody loved Tony Hopkins since Silence of the Lambs, but Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright deserve acclaim for Westworld a lot bloody more than he does!!

Wright received a nod in supporting. Harris has been snubbed by everything. It’s irritating. He plays such a terrifying, mysterious villain.

I’m really not surprised by the SNL love from the Emmys, but I think the nominations are for the show’s sudden relevance more than the actual performances.

It’s recognition for daring to take on Trump, as well as relevance.

“Another worldly member elucidates” = Clue? Westworld? Hopkins. He totally phones it in, plays the same way in every scene. Undeserved.

He’s a bloody brilliant actor, but you can always tell when he’s not really interested. He was exactly the same in the Thor films.
