AxB Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 How does whatever 'The Normal Heart' is get six nominations for the actors, and not get nominated as best show? I mean, if you had a terribly plotted, terribly shot show littered with continuity errors and with a story that made no sense, BUT it had six of the best acting performances all year, that would still be a great show, yeah?

Still, your point stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you had seen THE NORMAL HEART, you would know. It's terrible. It dominated the acting categories because 1) miniseries/movie was really thin this year, and 2) it's filled with movie stars and Emmy favorite TV players who get nominated based on their name, regardless. Of the nominated actors, only Bomar is really good in it it. And the only other strong performance, by Taylor Kitsch, didn't even get nominated because, you know, they had to nominate Jim Parsons for struggling mightily to not be Sheldon and Alfred Molina for being Alfred Molina in a nothing role.

Technico Support Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I haven't seen it but yeah, my impression was voters saw "name actors" and "AIDS" and just started ticking checkboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So why is the Emmys on a monday night this year? These award shows usually are always on a sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LethalStriker Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well, okay that all makes sense then. They should be in August anyways that way they air prior to the next season of episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 WHAT THE FUCK IS "MOM"???? Literally the first time I'm hearing that this show exists is when it is winning Emmys. I watch plenty of t.v., too. The fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I should really be over the Emmys' fascination with MODERN FAMILY by now, but come the fuck on. You have a choice between Andre Braugher and Tony Hale, and you chose...some shmuck from that fucking show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hey guys, if we want to prove that the "networks" are still alive we can just give a bunch of shit to Modern Family and everyone will probably kind of go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This is weird. Half the awards are going to really bland 'Nielson family" shows and the other half are going to a BBC show that airs on PBS that most US viewers over the age of 40 have never heard of.

EVA Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, I'm a little surprised it's turned into a SHERLOCK love-in, but that probably speaks to how weak a year it was in the movie/miniseries department. Better that than defaulting to Let's Award A Show That Tackled The Issues and giving shitty THE NORMAL HEART everything, though. I mean, FARGO blew away everything else in this category by a wide margin, but it's on FX, so it was lucky to get the time of day to begin with.
