Really? I felt like literally no one was talking about it despite being excellent.

I'm loling at The Good Place all up in there and none for Kristen Bell.

Shocked that Reese Witherspoon got NOTHING for three shows.

Pleasantly surprised by Sandra Oh sliding in there!

even though i started out watching for kristen, i find myself liking all the other actors much more. i could careless for her on the show lol.

I feel like Reese may have canceled herself out if people voted for her in different roles.

I get Reese not being nominated for BLL as it seems like everyone was over it with season 2, but I’m shocked that she didn’t get a nomination for Little Fires Everywhere, that seems like a massive snub when the show and her co-star were nominated. I thought she was really good in it too

Mr. Robot was snubbed! It had an excellent final season. I also wanted Never Have I Ever to get at least something :(

[izzzzy23]

SNUB: "Pose"
The second season of the ballroom-culture drama did not score a second consecutive nomination this year. Lead actor (and last year’s Emmy winner) Billy Porter did, however, and the series nabbed some key Creative Award nominations as well. Unfortunately, though, it looks like airing its second season a year ago hurt the show’s visibility with the voting members of the Academy , especially considering its third season could not finish production and air this summer as planned, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

I can assure you that’s not the biggest reason for the snub. Not at all taking it away from Billy Porter, but they managed to remember him again. The second season was even better than the first and Angelica Ross and MJ really had standout performances. I can’t imagine a just reason they or the series weren’t nominated.

Why is it colorist?

But yeah, if The Kominsky Method and Stranger Things got nominations...
