SomewherePrincipal Coleman is cheeringwhile diverting school funds to an absurdly luxurious Emmys party.

Bad: Zero nominations forReservation Dogs?

But sure, ignore it entirely.

(But also, when will we, as a culture, see the genius of Natasia Demetriou?)

Bad: A shutout of the lovelySomebody Somewhere.Awards shows tend to reward shows that are loud and direct.

There is more texture in that show and that relationship than in many of the more high-profile nominees.

AfterEastbound & DownandVice Principals, its a fun pattern for him!

If Apple doesnt throw an Emmys-celebration waffle party, someone in public relations has messed up.

Bad: No nomination forSeverancesupporting actor Tramell Tillman.Did the Academy even watch theDefiant Jazz sequence?

Plus, best-case scenario, theYellowjacketsproducers all show up on the red carpet in their antler-queen finest.

Good:Melanie Lynskeynominated for her role inYellowjackets.The Melanie Lynskey Fan Club (a.k.a.

the staff of Vulture) is happy to congratulate Lynskey on her success.

Some big fans ofDopesickover there in the Emmys voting pool.Dopesickis fine!Dopesickachieves what it set out to do.

It is about an important topic, and Michael Keaton gives a solid lead performance.

But of all the limited series out there, we went withDopesick?

But that makes the shows absence from Outstanding Limited Series even more baffling!

We will be muttering about how we remember damage on September 12.

Sorry to that man, but his spot shouldve been Andrewss.

She had to explainthe owl theory!

Bad:No nominations for Alan Ruck.Really?

Fun:Reno 911!

The Hunt for QAnonsnagging a TV-movie nom.I simply love this category for feeling unpredictable.

The Emmys willingness to recognize its surreal brilliance is an unexpected delight.
