If the Oscar is for films, there is the Emmy for TV. The Emmy nominees for this year are already announced, and despite the cheers for the well-deserved nominations, there are also jeers for undeserved Emmy snubs.
Let's see some of those who are worthy nominees who did not get an Emmy nod for this year's Emmy awards season.
Tatiana Maslany must be this year's Emmy's most controversial and biggest snub. Her impressive performance of multiple clone roles in the TV show "Orphan Black" could have given her an Emmy even last year, but it seems like it is still not worthy of an Emmy. The Orphan Black star has now been snubbed by the Emmy awards for two straight years, sending her fans on a twitter outrage with the hashtag #EmmyForMaslany.
Despite the soaring ratings and huge international following, The Walking Dead failed to impress the Emmy panel as it is not nominated for any of the major categories. They got a nomination for best editing and best special effects, though.
An actress-comedian who has penned and starred on her own show, Mindy Kaling did not receive this year's Emmy nod for the "Mindy Project", a light comedy about a doctor who struggles to find love. Meanwhile a fellow comedian, Lena Dunham, who acts on and writes her own show as well is once again recognized for her dark comedy "Girls", which is shown on HBO. What made the Emmy snub worse is that she (Kaling) has to read the names of Emmy nominees when it was announced Thursday night together with Carson Daly.
The Good Wife seems not good enough for an Outstanding Drama Series nomination. Despite getting nominations for some of its actors (Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles and Christine Baranski), the show failed to make the cut in the Emmy's drama category.
Another award snub that raised eyebrows was for Hannibal. The NBC production and adaptation of Thomas Harris' novel was not nominated for anything despite peppering the show with incredible twists, gruesome visuals and stellar performances by the actors.
Do you have any other nominations that should have been part of this year's Emmy awards but did not make the cut?
