Earlier today, the Television Academy debuted the 2024 Emmy Award nominations, and we couldn’t help but notice that several noteworthy shows and performances were left off the list. From the certain Feud: Capote vs. The Swans cast members to Kelsey Grammer, keep reading for this year’s worst Emmy snubs.
The Worst 2024 Emmy Award Snubs: From ‘Loki’ to Ricky Martin
Yikes
1. Loki
Despite a 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, there was no love for the second and final season of Disney+’s Loki nor for Tom Hiddleston, who portrayed the series’ titular God of Mischief.
2. Kelsey Grammer
Grammer’s reprisal as Fraiser Crane in the rebooted sitcom Fraiser failed to get him an Emmy nod this season for Lead Actor. However, the series, which originally aired on CBS from 1993-2004 before re-emerging in 2023 on Paramount+, already got renewed for a second season in May.
3. Emma Stone
The two-time Oscar winner came up short when it came to Emmy nominations for her role in Showtime’s satirical comedy thriller The Curse. Stone was seen as a contender for best actress in a drama series for her part as Whitney Siegel. The show as a whole didn’t fair out any better with zero nominations across the board.
4. Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin's role didn’t bring a supporting actor nomination but overall, Palm Royale did secure one for Best Comedy Series, plus nods for Kristen Wiig and Carol Burnett. The show also features Allison Janney, Laura Dern and Josh Lucas.
5. The Gentleman
This Netflix adaptation of Guy Ritchie’s 2019 action comedy drama unfortunately didn’t appeal to Emmy voters when it came to the nomination for Comedy Series. Leads Theo James and Kaya Scodelario didn’t have any luck either.
6. Fellow Travelers
Showtime’s Fellow Travelers fell short of getting a nomination for the limited series category. The mini-series starred Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey, Allison Williams and more (though Bomer and Bailey did get noms).
7. Chloë Sevigny
Although Sevigny missed out, FX’s Feud: Capote vs. the Swans faired well in the Lead Actress in a limited series category with Naomi Watts securing a nominmation for her performance as American socialite Babe Paley. Treat Williams also received a posthumous best supporting actor nomination for his role as CBS executive and womanizer William Paley in the FX anthology series.
8. Eiza González
González and her costars may not have gotten individual nods for their performance in 3 Body Problem but the Netflix series did shock, earning a total of six nominations including for Outstanding Drama, Cinematography and Sound Editing.
