Primetime Emmy Nominations were released this morning.

Full list here:

http://www.emmys.com/sites/default/files/Downloads/69th-nominations-list-v1ry.pdf

Jared Harris was robbed for The Crown. I thought he gave the best performance of that series. Oh well.

I'm so happy that Steven Universe received its third nomination, and with my favorite storyboard team. They chose a great episode to submit. Best show on TV.

Yes to all of the nominations for The Handmaid's Tale. I hope it wins everything especially Elisabeth Moss who gave the best performance on television. I want Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie to go to either Jessica Lange or Nicole Kidman. My vote would be for Kidman who gave a stunning, quieter performance.

I'm one of Veep's fans, but I thought this past season was poorer in quality and I would not have been mad if it didn't get the nominations that it did receive. This is the first year where I felt JLD doesn't deserve the Emmy for her work here and wouldn't mind if she lost to anyone else in this category, and I didn't even watch her competition except for Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda.

Have the Emmy's always had a voiceover category? I don't remember seeing that before.

They've had it since 1992. It doesn't get much attention. I'm not sure how serious voice over actors take this category, though winning an Emmy is a huge award for an actor personally, just because I'm not sure how serious Emmy nominators and voters treat the animated categories:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Voice-Over_Performance

From 1992 to 2008, it was a juried award, so there were no nominations and there would be multiple or no recipients in one year. In 2009, the rules were changed to a category award, with five nominees.

There are actually independent voice over acting awards in the industry, and the Annie Awards also have a category for voice actors.

Before the creation of this category, voiceover actors were eligible to be nominated with their live-action counterparts.

Prior to 2014, voice actors voicing characters and those doing narration work were nominated in the same category, but they have since separated the two.

I think there's probably something to be said for the right to call yourself an Emmy Award-winning whatever, to say you worked on an Emmy Award-winning show, and for shows and studios to rack up the numbers, even if it's in a niche category.

A friend of mine stayed in a sublet one summer and their was an Emmy on the shelf in some obscure category for a program we'd never heard of, but it still looked cool sitting there, and we all took pictures of each other holding it :lol:

At my law school, one of my Deans had two Emmys for a legal program our school did. When I had to be in his office for my clinical work, I would just look at them and seriously want to ask if I could take a picture with them. I never had enough courage to actually ask though.

Buzz - no idea of your age. If you are of my generation then maybe you are correct, but almost every friend and co-worker of mine had kids who played soccer when they were younger so I think the chances are there is much more of a demographic than there used to be. There is hope for you.

Nuts. I missed The Night Shift again. :(

Taped it, haven't watched yet. Had to watch tape of Nashville this morning. Can you set a DVR or whatever you have to record a series? Mine picks it up when the next season starts. EXCEPT. After Doubt was cancelled, I took it off the Record Series schedule. The show started up again on Saturday nights a couple weeks ago. I saw it on the guide and thought it was reruns from the first few shows that were on, so I didn't know it was new episodes. I looked it up online. They are the rest of the season that they did not show. Now it's too late to catch up again. Oh well. I don't have the patience to watch them all On Demand because you can't FF.
