List Rules Vote up those who should have won their category at the Emmys, but didn't. Vote down the losers who deserved to lose. List includes the main acting categories.
Every year at the Emmy Awards, our favorite actors and actresses get snubbed in political decisions, or awards go by default to the elder statespeople of the acting community, who in some cases probably deserve it, but still, the masses are sick of it! The actors who should've won Emmys in 2016 is a who’s who of talented men and women who need more gold in their lives (gold statues, that is. They probably have enough money to buy more gold than they'll ever need). For every Aziz Ansari, who continually loses big to Jeffrey Tambor in the Best Actor in a Comedic Series category, there’s a Bryan Cranston, who somehow always gets nominated for theses awards. Who do you know, Bryan? Who do you know?! Check out the Emmy Award snubs 2016 and relive the pain all over again.
It’s heartbreaking to see the list of actresses who should've won Emmys but lost to Julia-Louis Dreyfus or Maggie Smith. Don’t they have enough awards on their mantles? Let the others have a taste you monsters! Yes, okay, fine, they're both phenomenal at what they do and, in an objective playing field, probably deserve to win, but given Maggie Smith's obvious f*ck-you attitude toward the Emmys, shouldn't someone who actually cares get that weird looking Atlas Shrugged statue? Emilia Clarke acted alongside f*cking dragons, for crying out loud! That can't be easy.
It has to be tough to be snubbed at the Emmy Awards, which are essentially a precursor to the Golden Globes, where you and your show are going to lose all over again. Although, in the case of some of these stinkers, they kind of deserved to be included on this list of Emmy snubs 2016.
Vote on those who should have won their category at the Emmys, but didn’t. Vote down the losers who deserved to lose. You know who they are.
