What No Fringe at the 2011 Emmys?

Pin It

I’m not much of an awards show guy. They are overly long and mostly boring to watch but I do want to see the shows and actors I enjoy get recognition when deserved. Apparently I have angered the Emmy Gods this year because while one show I enjoy got some nods the one I thought most deserved to win it all was completely snubbed. *shakes fist*

Oh Emmy Gods, where is the love for Fringe? Anna Torv mopped the floor with just about everyone this year and I can’t say enough about John Noble & Josh Jackson, who happened to be announcing the nominees this morning. And Jasika Nicole! Lance Reddick! These people are all playing TWO CHARACTERS. They should get double nominations right? I mean come on…not one? Emmy you are a fickle wench indeed. Maybe that weird globe you are always holding is getting too heavy for you.

AMC’s The Killing got two acting nods, Michelle Forbes for Supporting Actress in a Drama and Mireille Enos for Best Actress in a Drama….both very deserved. Chris Colfer got another Best Supporting Actor nomination this year as well which I fully support. I am also in favor of the 21 nominations for HBO’s Mildred Pierce. Scroll down for a list of the major awards.
