'Absolute Travesty': Fans Shocked By Huge Awards Snub For 'The Handmaid's Tale' And Elisabeth Moss
After an absolutely action-packed finale that had viewers on the edge of their seats and critics lapping up each plot-turn, many would've thought The Handmaid's Tale was a sure thing in yesterday's Emmy announcements. However fans (and critics, many of whom had predicted a slew of nominations for the show and its star Elisabeth Moss) of The Handmaid's Tale were shocked yesterday when the huge awards show - arguably the biggest television awards in the world - snubbed the show. The Handmaid's Tale received only one nomination for Cherry Jones, who played Holly, June's mother. She was nominated in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Many expected the show to sweep the nominations board as it was the last series and the final chance to celebrate a show that's been loved by so many fans. But a nomination for Elisabeth Moss' portrayal of June, which saw her experience every emotion under the sun and lead a revolution in the show's sixth series, seemed a dead cert. Her failure to receive an acting nomination was marked as one of the biggest snubs by most industry publications, many of which had themselves put her at the top of the list for mentions. Some have speculated about the political nature of the show and whether that made nominating it particularly tricky. Of course it could just be that, in a particularly strong year for television, the show was crowded out. Severance and Adolescence in particular led the lists of show received 27 nominations and The Studio beat Ted Lasso's previous record for nominations for a new show with 23 mentions. Other shows that got nominations include Andor, The Diplomat, The Last Of Us, Slow Horses, The White Lotus and Paradise. So, while it is a crowded year, fans will also wonder why the quality of The Handmaid's Tale didn't make that cut. The show has had nominations before - 77 in total - and, in 2017, Elisabeth Moss won the award for Lead Actress In A Drama Series. That year the show also won Outstanding Drama Series. Regardless, fans of the show were outraged on social media. On X, one fan wrote: 'The Handmaid's Tale got no Emmy nominations? Absolute travesty.' Another cited the performances of Yvonne Strahovski, saying: 'The fact that the handmaid's tale ended and this queen never got to hold an emmy for her portrayal of Serena Joy should be considered a crime.'

'Severance' leads Emmy nominees with 27 and 'The Studio' tops comedies
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Severance' separated itself from the field with 27 Emmy nominations Tuesday, while "The Studio' led comedy nominees with a record-tying 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series "Severance,' which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that brought an expected Emmy bounty. "It's been the best kind of morning,' Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told The Associated Press. Lead acting nominations came for "Severance' stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' "innie' work selves and "outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the center of the show. And Ben Stiller got a nomination for directing the Season 2 finale. Apple's Hollywood satire "The Studio' was expected to make a significant showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like "Hacks,' which got 14, and "The Bear,' which got 13. It tied a comedy record set last year by "The Bear' with 23 nominations. Seth Rogen, who co-created the series with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, personally got three nominations - for acting, writing and directing. Rogen told the AP that "my ego is in shock' and called the raft of nominations "very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated.' His show's A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz. The men made for five of the six nominees in the guest actor in a comedy category. "The Penguin,' HBO's dark drama from the "Batman' universe, was surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. Netflix's acclaimed "Adolescence' got 13 limited series nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing. Many expect Cooper to become the youngest Emmy winner in more than 40 years, largely because of a breathtaking episode that is one long therapy session inside a juvenile jail. Like all "Adolescence' episodes, it's done in one long shot. His psychologist scene partner, Erin Doherty, was also nominated, for limited series supporting actress. "If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering," Doherty told the AP. "I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' HBO's high-end soap "The White Lotus' got its usual flowering of drama acting nominations for its Thailand-set third season, with four cast members including Carrie Coon getting supporting actress nods, and three including Walton Goggins up for supporting actor. It pulled in 23 nominations overall. "The Pitt,' HBO Max's prestige medical procedural, got 13 nominations, including best drama and best actor for its star, "ER' veteran Noah Wyle. One of its nurses, Katherine LaNasa, was able to squeeze in among the women of "The White Lotus' for a supporting actress nod. "I love telling stories about the human condition and I really love acting, and so to suddenly get recognized and sort of applauded for it is just a delightful surprise," LaNasa told the AP. Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for "ER,' could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race, with both seeking their first Emmy. The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities in the top categories. Oscar-winner Kathy Bates was a big exception this year. She's considered a heavy favorite to win best actress in a drama for CBS' "Matlock.' She's the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015. At 77, she's also the oldest ever nominee in the category. ABC's "Abbott Elementary,' which has kept hope alive for the networks in recent years, got six nominations including acting and writing nods for creator Quinta Brunson. "The Last of Us' brought in 16 nominations in drama categories for HBO to add to its totals run up by "The White Lotus," "The Pitt' and "The Penguin.' Bella Ramsey got a nod for best actress in a drama for "The Last of Us.' Pedro Pascal was nominated for lead actor despite appearing in only about half of the season's episodes. HBO with its streaming counterpart HBO Max has been so prolific for decades in Emmy nominations that it almost felt like an off year without it having a "Succession' or a "Game of Thrones' atop the drama category. But it definitely wasn't. It led all outlets with 142 nominations, the most it's ever gotten. Netflix followed with 120 nominations overall, including 11 for "Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story' and 10 for "Black Mirror.' Apple TV+ had 79 nominations overall. "Shrinking' added to that total with seven in the comedy categories, including acting nominations for Harrison Ford and Jason Segel. "Andor' represented Disney+ with 14 nominations. The gritty series from the "Star Wars' galaxy is up for best drama series and a slew of technical categories. Forest Whitaker was nominated for best guest actor in a drama. He's one of several Oscar winners in the guest acting categories along with Scorsese, Howard and Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman for their performances in "The Bear.' "Andor' star Diego Luna was surprisingly omitted from best actor in a drama. Other snubs included former Emmy powerhouses "The Handmaid's Tale,' which got just one nomination, and "Squid Game,' which got none. "Severance' has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including "The Morning Show' and "Slow Horses,' and "Ted Lasso' thrived the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. "Severance' became its most-nominated show ever and could easily become its biggest winner when the Emmys are handed out in September, reaching the upper echelons previously enjoyed by "Succession' and "Shogun,' which left room for others by taking this year off. Cherniss said Apple TV+, which has been knocked as the streamer with big stars and big budgets for shows that go unnoticed, was rewarded for taking big swings. "'Severance' is such an ambitious show," he said, adding that "all of the shows that have been nominated took big risks.' All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and the like the Oscars its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on "The Pitt' on HBO Max, 30 years ago an average of 30 million watched him on "ER' on NBC. The broadcast networks rotate on who airs the Emmys. This year is CBS's turn. It will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.

From Harrison Ford To Martin Scorsese: 7 Stars React To Their First-Time Emmy Nominations
Earlier this year, we saw numerous Hollywood stars take home their first Golden Globe and Academy Awards, in recognition of their outstanding performances and dedication to film and television. Awards season isn't over just yet, with the Primetime Emmy Awards set to take place this September. The ceremony will be held at the Peacock Theatre (formerly the Nokia Theatre) in Los Angeles and will be hosted by American comedian Nate Bargatze. The Emmys recently unveiled their list of nominees, and fans were surprised to discover that several stars had never been nominated before, despite long-standing careers in the industry. To mark the occasion, we've compiled some of the actors' reactions to receiving their first-ever Emmy nominations. Here they are: 1. Harrison Ford It's absolutely baffling that Harrison Ford has never received an Emmy nomination until now. At 83 years old, he's the oldest nominee on this list, earning a nod in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the Apple TV+ comedy 'Shrinking'. While Ford hasn't publicly reacted to the news, the streaming platform shared a humorous clip from the series in which his character says, 'What, you want me to pull my pants down and make my ass clap?' as if responding to the nomination itself. 2. Kristen Bell Despite starring in and being praised for her acclaimed work in 'Veronica Mars' and 'The Good Place,' actress Kristen Bell has never received an Emmy nomination. However, she finally received the recognition she deserved by being the lead actress in a comedy series category for Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This.' The star posted her surprised and excited reaction to hearing the news on Instagram. 3. Ashley Walters Ashley Walters picked up his first Emmy nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in 'Adolescence.' The actor took to Instagram Stories to share his reaction to receiving the exciting news of his recognition, saying, 'If you told the young boy from Peckham all those years ago that he would be nominated for an Emmy Award, he would have laughed you out of the room. How you start life doesn't define you; what you do with that life does. Thank you.' 4. Owen Cooper Ashley Walters' 'Adolescence' co-star Owen Cooper made history by being the youngest Emmy Awards nominee in the Best Supporting Actor category at 16. If he wins this award, then he will be the youngest male actor to win the prestigious award. Although he hasn't given his reaction to the nomination, his Instagram account, possibly run by his guardian or management, reposted the news of his historic nomination. 5. Colin Farrell Can you believe that Colin Farrell has never received an Emmy nomination? The 3-time Golden Globe winner finally received that recognition in the Best Actor category for his role in 'The Penguin.' In celebration of his first Emmy nomination, the actor gives an answer to everyone's questions: Will there be a second season to the show, and will he be in 'The Batman 2'? He told Deadline and Variety: 'There is absolutely nothing in process. There's 'Batman 2″, which I haven't read the script for yet. But I'm very close to it. I can't wait. I'm going to have to block out a few hours when that happens and really put the kettle on and put a nice cup of tea on and pay attention.' 6. Chloë Sevigny Known for her work in independent films with controversial or experimental themes, Chloë Sevigny finally received her well-earned recognition with an Emmy Award nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.' Instead of celebrating her own nomination, the 50-year-old took to Instagram to congratulate all the nominees in the same categories while also thanking those who congratulated her achievement. 7. Martin Scorsese Coming in second to oldest first-time nominee is Martin Scorsese, who finally earned his first Emmy nomination at 82 years old. The legendary filmmaker is nominated in the Guest Actor category for his appearance in 'The Studio'. His daughter, Francesca Scorsese, shared a screenshot of their FaceTime call, capturing her father's overwhelmed reaction upon hearing the news.

Ben Stiller also got a nomination for directing the Season 2 finale. Apple's Hollywood satire The Studio is only on its first season, but it romped over more established shows like The Bear (13 nominations) and Hacks, which got 14 – and is also one of our favourites of the year. The Penguin, HBO's dark drama from the Batman universe, was also dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell (see pic above) and Cristin Milioti. Then comes our favourite show of the year (so far): Netflix's acclaimed Adolescence, which got 13 limited series nominations, including outstanding limited series and best writing for Jack Thorne, who created the drama with Stephen Graham. Graham is also up for best actor. The potential record to be broken comes with the supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays 13-year-old Jamie, who is suspected of a killing one of his classmates.

He will go up against his co-star Ashley Walters, while Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty will both compete in the supporting actress category.
