Emmys: If I Picked The Drama Nominees

Following on from my who-should-be-nominated-you-fucking-idiots post for Comedy, here’s my run down of the drama noms…

Outstanding Drama Series

• This Is Us
• Pitch
• Better Call Saul
• Bates Motel
• Marvel’s Luke Cage
• Stranger Things

Honorable Mentions: The Americans, Mr Robot and The Get Down

Yeah, an eclectic group isn’t it? And one of these shows got cancelled, but each of these dramas brought something above and beyond to the genre – and don’t even tell me Luke Cage shouldn’t be in there you fuckos. It was a fine piece of drama.

Lead Actress In A Drama

• Kylie Bunbury, Pitch
• Taraji P. Henson, Empire
• Mandy Moore, This Is Us
• Keri Russel, The Americans
• Ruth Negga, Preacher
• Melissa Benoist, Supergirl

Not only should Kylie be nominated but she should damn well win, but this is a kick as group of women.

Lead Actor In A Drama

• Sterling K. Brown, This Is Us
• Freddie Highmore, Bates Motel
• Mike Colter, Marvel’s Luke Cage
• Rami Malek, Mr Robot
• Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
• Matthew Rhys, The Americans

This is the time to undo a grave injustice – give Freddie the damn award. I know Sterling is the stand out here, and I love him but he’s got plenty of years to jump on stage.

Supporting Actress In A Drama

• Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things
• Vera Farmiga, Bates Motel
• Margo Martindale, The Americans
• Chrissy Metz, This Is Us
• Maura Tierney, The Affair

VERA! JUST FUCKING VERA! Again, right the wrongs of the past you fucking gobshites! HOW have you ignored her this damn long???!??!

Supporting Actor In A Drama

• Mahershala Ali, Marvel’s Luke Cage
• Jonathan Banks, Better Call Saul
• Ron Cephas Jones, This Is Us
• Michael McKean, Better Call Saul
• Finn Wolfhard, Stranger Things

Oh, this is all Ron… alllllllllllll Ron. You better be nominated, you better win dear sir because well – all the fucking tears man. ALL the tears.
