While some TV series have made history with a record-breaking number of Emmy nominations, as always there have been some notable snubs.
On Wednesday evening, the nominees for the upcoming awards, set to be held in September were announced, with front runners including Succession, The Last of Us, The White Lotus and Ted Lasso.
Following its fourth and final season, Succession managed to pick up an impressive 27 nominations, while three of its stars – Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin – are all in the running in the outstanding actor category.
But there have been several shows, and stars, who have missed out on being recognised.
While Bridgerton prequel series Queen Charlotte was celebrated by both critics and audiences alike, it failed to pick up any nominations in any of the major categories.
It was the same for sister shows Yellowstone and 1923, with the latter’s stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren also failing to be recognised.
Other Hollywood heavyweights were also snubbed, including Steve Martin for Only Murders in the Building.
Meanwhile not one cast member from House of the Dragon was singled out, with the most notable oversight being King Viserys I Targaryen’s Paddy Considine.
Here is our list of the most shocking snubs….
Yellowstone and 1923
Taylor Sheridan’s hugely popular Western series’ about the Dutton family have proven so popular with fans, Yellowstone was named as the most watched TV show of 2022.
Despite this, the series and its prequel 1923, which stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren were completely overlooked, each failing to pick up a single nomination.
Yellowstone star Kevin Costner was again snubbed for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, with his chances of ever picking up a nomination for the series at the Emmys in doubt after it was announced recently that the upcoming fifth season would be its last.
The show’s only ever Emmys nomination came in 2021 for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Contemporary Program, which it did not win.
The snub of Ford seemed to be even more shocking after he also missed out on a comedy supporting actor nomination for his role in the series Shrinking, which some speculated he could have been an early favourite to win.
Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin and Selena Gomez
While Only Murders in the Building star Martin Short was recognised in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category, his co-stars Steve Martin and Selena Gomez missed out on being nominated this time around.
Last year both Martin and Short were recognised in the same category, although failed to take out the win.
But after two seasons of the show, Gomez has failed to pick up an Emmy nomination.
However the series is up for Best Comedy Series.
House of the Dragon actors
While Game of Thrones was a darling of the Emmys over its eight-season run (it picked up an incredible 164 nominations, of which it won 59), its prequel series House of the Dragon been largely overlooked in the major categories following its first season.
While it did manage to pick up an impressive eight nominations, including a nod in Outstanding Drama Series, all of its lead actors, which included Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Olivia Cooke, all missed out on being nominated.
Queen Charlotte
While Bridgerton picked up some major nominations during its first season (Oustanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Rege-Jean Page) prequel series Queen Charlotte has been left in the cold.
Stars India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest both missed out on acting nominations for the limited series created by Shonda Rhimes.
It did however get three nods in the Creative Arts categories for Outstanding Period Costumes, Outstanding Period Hairstyling, and a nomination in the Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance category for Julie Andrews.
Fans of the show made it pretty clear they were not impressed by the snubs, sharing their thoughts on social media soon after.
‘Queen Charlotte not getting an Emmy nom when its one of the best Netflix shows this year, A-tier acting and one of the most watched too…alright,’ one person posted on Twitter.
‘Queen Charlotte didn’t get any Emmy noms??? This can’t be real,’ someone else wrote.
Another added: ‘I simply cannot believe that Queen Charlotte did not garner ANY Emmy nominations. How is this possible?.’
Elizabeth Olsen
Crime drama series Love & Death wasn’t expected to sweep the Emmys this year, especially after it told the story of a murderous housewife whose tale had been told in last year’s Candy (which starred Jessica Biel).
But it was expected star Elizabeth Olsen might be singled out in an acting category for playing Candy Montgomery, however it wasn’t to be and she was instead snubbed.
However her co-star Jesse Plemons did get a nod for his role playing Candy’s lover Allan Gore in the Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie category.
