Another year, another round of outrage over supposed 'snubs' at an awards show.
The 2024 Emmy nominations are here and two of Hollywood's biggest actresses did not make the cut. Cue countless think pieces. Firstly, there was Emma Stone, whose mind-bending turn in The Curse received universal praise.
However, Stone and the Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie series didn't get any noms.
Then there's Nicole Kidman's Expats, with both the actress and the Prime Video series left out of this year’s nominations.
Along with these two snubs that everyone's talking about, Kate Winslet was also expected to get a nomination for her performance in The Regime. The political satire failed to receive a single nomination.
TV criticism is a subjective art and people are within their rights to feel slighted by these women missing out on nominations, despite the fact that Kidman and Winslet already have four Emmys between them. But it's worth noting how outrage over these snubs is overshadowing what we should be celebrating: it's actually been a phenomenal year of television and so many deserving people have been honoured — especially women from minority groups
Starting with Lily Gladstone, a Native American actress who controversially lost out to Stone at the Academy Awards. She was nominated in the supporting actress category for a limited series for Under The Bridge, alongside another Afro-Indigenous star, Kali Reis from True Detective: Night Country, which is the first time any Indigenous woman was nominated for an acting category at the Emmys.
