However, as almost always happens in this type of gala, surprises could arise in any category and from OKDIARIO we will be information update to say who were the big winners of the evening. There will surely be many who will be disappointed by some of the decisions. But given that this competition has a historical list of great forgotten ones, discontent can take a back seat. For this reason and taking advantage of the opportunity, we review below 7 legendary series that they never even managed to win an iconic statuette in any of the categories.
7 Series Without a Single Emmy Award
1-‘The Thread’ (2002-2008)
Yes, that may be the case. the most scandalous example of the entire list. Considered by many to be the best series in history with The Sopranosthe fiction (with a lot of reality) created by David Simon doesn’t even have an Emmy. It’s something like The Godfather would have remained completely empty on the red carpet in 1972, even though at that time Crime Problems in Baltimore They were competing with other major franchises outside of the big Tony Soprano family. Lost, The West Wing of the White House…the series began to acquire a growing reputation at the beginning of the first decade of the 21st century and surely The threadpaid the price of being a masterpiece judged after the fact.
The rudeness goes to the point that it never received a nomination for best drama series. The thread only managed to figure among the considerations of best case scenario in 2005 and 2008.
2-‘Hanged in Philadelphia’ (2005-)
It’s a mistake that could still be corrected, since the FX Network comedy is still active. But it will have to be in the next edition of the Emmys, for another year Hanged in Philadelphia did not receive not a single nomination. Irreverent and with such politically incorrect humor that it can look from you to you. father of a familyIt seems unlikely that the owners of Paddy’s Pub will ever emerge victorious on this ground. At least they will always have our laughter and the honour of wearing the non-conformity flag of comedy.
3-‘Hannibal’ (2013-2015)
Fans have been asking for years a remake or a restart of Bryan Fuller’s creation. At this point, anything would do for an audience completely hypnotized by this dark thriller that ended abruptly in his third season. The series was cancelled and it’s a comparable pain not to see Mads Mikkelsen win the award for bringing to life a Dr. Hannibal Lecter that rivals Anthony Hopkins’ in The Silence of the Lambs.
4- ‘Mindhunter’ (2017-2019)
Mind Hunter This is the most recent case of how it can be let “throw away” to the public, regardless of the impact or quality of a television product. A level that surprised no one, since the filmmaker who most reinvented the thriller was executive producer: David Fincher. Of course, if even Netflix didn’t want to give it more than two seasons, the Emmys would still be in this systematic rejection. Mind Hunter he just had a nomination for Best Guest Actor (Cameron Britton) during his “Big Red N” tour. Similar to the prequel to the Hannibal saga, fans of the series are still waiting to see the detectives again. Holden Ford and Bill Tench.
5-‘The Leftovers’ (2014-2017)
It’s not as well known as the rest on this list. However, its creator is one of the showrunners the most important on North American television. Damon Lindelof adapted with the writer Tom Perotta This dramatic crisis begins in a world where suddenly and without any explanation, 2% of the world’s population disappears. After three seasons and 28 episodes, The remains got a nomination for best guest actress (Ann Dowd)
6-‘Better Call Saul’ (2015-2022)
The last great forgotten of the awards. International critics are still wondering how it is possible that the spin-off of Break the bad never got any glory at the said ceremony. In fact, You better call Saul This is a rather special case, since few fictions with more than 50 nominations Throughout their history, they have lost repeatedly in their respective categories.
7-‘BoJack Cavalier’ (2014-2020)
His animation style shouldn’t fool anyone. Bojack Horseman is part of the series deeper and more sincere that have been created in recent television history. Witty, funny and poetic in equal measure, it contains traces of existentialism as sad as its own inert impact on the Emmys.
Organized by the ATAS (Academy of Television Arts and Sciences), the gala will take place at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and in Spain, it can be seen on MovistarPlus early today (15th) from 02:00 am to 05:00 am.
