comedy nominees

If you follow us, you’re probably well aware of our love for Hacks and What We Do In the Shadows, I Think You Should Leave and how it’s truly a shame that they’re not the perennial frontrunners for comedy awards (even if Hacks has only done one season thus far) that they clearly are.

Thankfully, this year’s Writers Guild Awards are fixing a lot of what has been lacking in the comedy realm during awards season with this latest round of nominations. Hacks gained nominations for both Comedy Series (along with a very deserving What We Do in the Shadows) and New Series (a suddenly crowded field thanks to Yellowjackets and Loki).

Additionally, the guard of late night and sketch seems to be finally changing a bit. Yes, SNL, Conan, and Last Week Tonight are still in the running, but the funnest duo in late night, Desus & Mero, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, and How To with John Wilson are getting well deserved slots in these categories.

In fact, the entire breakdown for the comedy nominees is pretty refreshing as new comers Reservation Dogs, Only Murders in the Building, White Lotus, Tuca and Bertie, and PAUSE with Sam Jay all garnered WGA Awards nominations today. We suppose that this fresh look would even include the new entry from an old perennial comedy frontrunner of yesteryear, Jon Stewart and his new Apple TV+ series, The Problem with Jon Stewart (a leaner version of The Daily Show with Jon in a t-shirt rather than a suit).

Take a gander at the whole list of this year’s WGA Award TV Comedy Nominees, then look to hear/see the winners on Mar. 20th (maybe there will be an in-person ceremony by then?). Oh yeah, feature length nominees will be announced on Jan. 27th.

Here are the Comedy Nominees for 72nd Primetime Emmys

July 28, 2020

News

a black lady sketch show, comedy nominees, emmys, insecure, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, marvelous mrs maisel, nicole byer, nominations, primetime emmys, ramy, robot chicken, schitts creek, snl, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, what we do in the shadows

For the 72nd Primetime Emmys, many of the perennial favorites got their nominations like Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, SNL, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Dave Chappelle Schitt’s Creek, Hannah Gadsby in the categories they perennially occupy.

However, there are a few pleasant surprises (there always a few) in this year’s Emmys nominations including A Black Lady Sketch Show, Ramy, Robot Chicken, What We Do in the Shadows, Nicole Byer as host of Nailed It!, and FX’s Cake. What We Do In The Shadows and Insecure actually very much earned their spots in the Outstanding Comedy Series category as they have probably been the two most beloved current/new comedies during the entire pandemic.

Voting will run through the end of next month and the winners will be announced on Sept. 20th by Jimmy Kimmel. We’re going to guess that will be not the normal Emmys telecast chock full of celebrities dressed to the nines.

Barry, Russian Doll, Fleabag Make Out Big in This Year’s Emmy Nominations (and An Emmy for Megan and Schitt’s Creek Get Noms Too)

July 17, 2019

Uncategorized

2019, comedy nominees, emmys

The 71st Primetime Emmys Nominations were announced yesterday and indeed Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag got its proper props for being one of the best comedies around today with 11 nominations. Barry continues to score noms with a very impressive nominations in its second season and Russian Doll scored real big on its first time out with 13.

Also, we’re glad to see that Hannah Gadsby’s groundbreaking comedy special Nanette got nominated (as it absolutely should have) and Megan Amram’s quest to “moneyball” her way into an Emmy with her meta web series “An Emmy For Megan” gets closer with a few more nominations this year.

Today, the nominations for the 2017 Primetime Emmys were announced. For comedy specifically, it’s probably what you expected.

Premium cable and streaming services continue to dominate the Emmys with Netflix and HBO coming out strong. FX also maintains its status as a premium cable network disguised as a basic cable network with its handful of nominations for Atlanta, Better Things, and Baskets.

Colbert’s Election special and Sam Bee’s Not the WHCD thankfully were bestowed nominations here as well.

One thing that was a delightful surprise is Lauren Lapkus and Ben Schwartz gaining nominations for their performances in The Earliest Show, a web series that followed a morning talk show with one of the hosts going through all the stages of grief.

Take a gander at all the comedy nominees below.
