17 Emmy Nomination Snubs We're Particularly Surprised By

Given her consistently powerful (and low-key iconic) performance as Diane Lockhart in the CBS All-Access series The Good Fight, we were highly disappointed she didn't get a nod in the outstanding lead actress in a drama category.

Speaking of The Good Fight, it would've been great to see the show, which just wrapped its incredible third season, get a nomination for outstanding drama.

Getting bruised, bloodied, and battered in Netflix's Bodyguard paid off for Richard Madden at the Golden Globes back in January, where he won the trophy for best actor in a TV drama. The Emmy voters were not as kind.

Pose picked up nominations in both the outstanding drama category, and outstanding lead actor in a drama (for Billy Porter), which makes it so surprising that the series didn't get any love in the lead actress field for star MJ Rodriguez, or for Indya Moore in the supporting actress race. Perhaps next year, with Game of Thrones out of the running, Pose's ridiculously talented actresses will have more luck.

Has an Ian McShane performance ever not been award worthy? The British actor returned to his roots in HBO's Deadwood: The Movie, which seemed primed to pick up a nomination in the outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie category.

Netflix's female-led wrestling comedy has gotten plenty of nominations in the past (for both the series as a whole and stars Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin), so we were hoping to see it step into the ring for outstanding comedy yet again. Sadly, new nominees like Schitt's Creek and fellow Netflix series Russian Doll seemed to have edged it out.

Although Succession is officially in the outstanding drama race, we thought Culkin was a shoo-in for his performance as the Roy we love to hate, Roman.

Let's just get this out of the way: D'Arcy Carden is a freakin' delight in The Good Place. Her gettting a nomination alongside Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), and the rest of the stars who were nominated would not only have been an exciting surprise, but a just choice.

There's a reason Susan Kelechi Watson's Beth is a fan-favorite on This Is Us — she's phenomenal. We would've been over the moon to see Watson recognized for her work this season, but, unfortunately, the supporting actress race is tough this year, thanks to four nominations for Game of Thrones stars Gwendoline Christie, Lena
Headey, Maisie Williams, and Sophie Turner.

OK, now this one just might be the most shocking snub on this entire list. Julia Roberts didn't get nominated for her work in Amazon's Homecoming? REALLY?!

TV superstar Connie Britton seemed poised to draw in Academy members after her role in Bravo's chilling drama, but it seems like they did her . . . dirty. (Ba-dum-tss!)

Like Julia Roberts's snub, the Academy's choice not to nominate George Clooney for his work in Hulu's Catch-22 adaptation is hugely surprising.

Emmy favorite Titus Burgess didn't get a nomination this year for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, despite the Netflix comedy wrapping up its final season. Now the fact that he's not playing Ursula in Disney's live-action Little Mermaid reboot stings even more.

Yet another A-list star whose TV role didn't get the award season shine it deserves! Emma Stone gives a deeply moving performance as Annie in Netflix's Maniac, which follows two strangers (Stone and Jonah Hill) who believe themselves to be living out a fantasy life while they're actually locked up at an experiment mental institution. If she ever returns to the small screen, we'll be rooting for her.

Clearly Jim Carrey's Showtime series, Kidding, didn't manage to resonate with Academy members the way we'd hoped.

This is less of a snub and more of a surprise: The Big Bang Theory failing to get any love in the major categories after its final season.

Given Jim Parsons's multiple Emmy wins and nominations in the outstanding lead actor in a comedy category for his role as Sheldon Cooper in the CBS sitcom, we were definitely expecting him to nab one final nod. Alas, it seems like he'll just have to be satisfied with his current total. (Which is four Emmys, by the way — not too shabby, Sheldon!)
