In this year’s Emmy nomination race, there are some underrated performers and shows that deserve recognition but might be overlooked due to the fragmentation of television viewing. NPR TV critic Eric Deggans has put together a list of suggestions for Emmy voters, urging them to consider these hidden gems in their voting process.
One such gem is the Netflix show “Mo,” starring Mohammed Amer as the title character. Despite being one of the year’s best TV comedies, it may not receive the attention it deserves due to the crowded field of contenders. Deggans hopes that Emmy voters will take notice and give this unique comedy a fair shot at winning an award.
Another standout performance is Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp in “The Studio.” While Aduba has been nominated five times before, with three wins including two for her role on Orange Is the New Black, Deggans believes that her work in this show should not be overshadowed by more high-profile comedies like The Studio, Hacks, and Dying for Sex.
The fragmentation of television viewing has made it challenging to agree on what constitutes the best programming; however, this also presents an opportunity for Emmy voters to reach beyond usual suspects and discover new voices and shows that might otherwise be overlooked. By considering these underrated performers and shows, not only will they broaden their horizons but they may just uncover some truly exceptional talent in the world of television comedy.
In conclusion, while it’s exciting to see familiar faces and popular shows dominating the Emmy nominations conversation, let us not forget about these hidden gems that deserve recognition too. It is essential for both voters and viewers alike to keep an open mind when considering what constitutes great TV comedy – after all, sometimes the best surprises come from unexpected places!
