I was bummed this didn’t win at the Emmys it was really well done, that was the appropriate place to recognize it I think

[blanchedavidian]

Well he won Emmys just not the Emmy he should have because of ~Category Fraud~ thanks to Disney and their bought nom for Hamilton

[erin805]

I didn’t know that! I only saw the loss that’s awesome thanks for letting me know and I totally agree about the shady Disney win but it’s a day that ends in y so I’m not shocked

[blanchedavidian]

It either won two or three - they were weird ones like best sound design and best lighting or something. I don't remember! But not best SONG or musical, both of which Disney robbed him of. I don't think Bo even posted about it? His fans were happy and his dad made a cute post on insta and it's cute his dad is proud!

I'm still so baffled that Disney got away with noms for Hamilton. And so many too! I hope buying so many noms for Daveed and Lin and everyone were worth it. I hope they cost a lot lol

Unspecified reasons... sounds legit!! I'd be pressed if I were him.

[blanchedavidian]

He seems to genuinely not care about awards at all which I think is a v admirable quality but his dad seems to care so he might be mad on Bo's behalf lol

[raeshizzle]

The comment sections on his dad’s Instagram are so, so cringey

[blanchedavidian]

I've never actually looked at it, I've only seen what another user here has shown me but I can only imagine the weirdo shit Bo stans post to him ://

[ournewhappylife]

Should be aoty tbh

[reach_the_end]

Is this guy a singer/comedian/actor? Literally the only time I've seen him mentioned is on ONTD, and I guess I saw him in Promising Young Woman. Do y'all genuinely think he's hot or is this an ironic thing?

[sandstorm]

He was Internet Famous then became Real Famous.

I had no idea he had other standup specials tbh.

[angriest_girl]

He’s just tall. He is a very talented comedian/songwriter though. Acting is eh.

[fleurs_sauvage7]

I like his face. He looks like he’d be fun to tickle fight with. Lol.

"but in the category of best compilation soundtrack for visual media"

Makes more sense to me negl

[blanchedavidian]

It doesn't really to me because most comedians are nominated for albums they put out that are companion pieces to their specials, and Bo is still a comedian even if he does songs, he's always done songs, so do artists like Flight of the Conchords and Demitri Martin. Seems weird to me that this special is where they're drawing a line.
