2020 TV

The 2020 Emmys&nbsp;ceremony was odd, but also oddly satisfying. While there was no audience and&nbsp;no red carpet, the virtual event still offered a gratifying night of gratitude, honoring television that kept us entertained and informed for the better part of an indoor&nbsp;year.&nbsp;

This year,&nbsp;Schitt&#39;s Creek&nbsp;dominated the Emmys&nbsp;by&nbsp;sweeping all the comedy categories, but there were other winners who were not Schitt&#39;s Creek.&nbsp;Zendaya became the youngest best actress winner in Emmy history, while&nbsp;Watchmen and Succession brought home the gold for HBO. This Emmys&nbsp;ceremony is definitely one for the books.&nbsp;

Enjoy a small selection of reactions to this year&#39;s Emmys.&nbsp;

In a year when so many people relied on there televisions as a happy distraction, it seemed there are even more&nbsp;shows and performances that deserved recognition than usual. Of course, there are only so many slots for so many categories - so plenty of deserving 2020 contenders inevitably wound up on the outside looking in. Here is a look at a few category-specific actors, actresses, and&nbsp;series that could have made a strong case for a nomination.

50 Snubs From The 2020 Emmy Nominations

The 71st Primetime Emmy Award nominations are in and even though many great shows and awesome performances were recognized, there will always be shows and performers who get left off the list. From actors who were ignored even when their shows were nominated to series whose existence and casts were ignored completely, these are the 2019 Emmy snubs that are smarting the hardest.

With the last season looming, The Good Place has finally secured an Emmy nod for <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-outstanding-comedy-series-emmy-winners?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Outstanding Comedy Series</a>, as has Ted Danson for Lead Actor - which makes the absence of Kristen Bell on the nominees list particularly glaring. TV movies and limited series ruled the day in the 2018-2019 television season, but some of the most talked about 2019 miniseries were ignored, such as The Act, I Am The Night, and even Good Omens, which snuck in under the wire by premiering at the cut-off date of May 31, 2019.

Which TV programs and actors most deserved an Emmy nod but were snubbed? Vote up the performers and shows that you think most deserved to be 2019 Emmy nominees.

The Biggest Snubs Of The 2019 Emmys

Biggest Emmy Snubs 2019, As Voted By Fans

For each astounding, inspiring Emmy-winning actor that makes us laugh, cry, and feel real, human emotions watching their performances, there are an equal number of Emmy-winners who definitely don&#39;t deserve the honor. Some of these Emmy-winning actors were given bad roles, while others were just not as great as other nominees. Whatever the case, we&#39;ve put together a list of the worst Emmy winners that really don&#39;t deserve the award they received for their work. 

Louis C.K. probably wasn&#39;t happy after losing to Jon Cryer in 2012, but that kind of choice reveals a lot about Emmy voters. When an out-of-the-blue nominee wins an Emmy, certain questions tend to arise, such as: Do Emmy voters have cable? Are they giving their ballots to non-humans? Why William Shatner, and why now? The worst Emmy winners betray viewers&#39; trust, and let down die-hard fans of other performances.

Some of these Emmy wins feel completely out of place. Kiefer Sutherland over Martin Sheen? Behind the Candlelabra over Top of the Lake? Are these worst Emmy winners a result of industry insiders thinking that they know best?

Not agreeing with an Emmy nomination or win doesn&rsquo;t make the actor or show in question automatically bad. Many times, the worst Emmy wins are simply tone deaf in the context of the year and competition. Or they seem out of step in retrospect.

The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-2004-2005-was-tvs-best-season/evan-lambert" target="_blank">second Golden Age of Television</a> has created such a glut of talent on television, many of the medium&#39;s best talents are taken for granted, and go unrewarded for superlative work.

Billy Porter is up for best actor in a drama series for his work on FX&#39;s&nbsp;Pose. And of course we can&rsquo;t forget Kit Harington&nbsp;for Game of Thrones. Jon Snow was once crowned King of the North by his people - now will Kit Harington become the outstanding lead actor in a drama?

The 2020 Emmy nominations have been announced and people have a few thoughts on the subject.&nbsp;

And in a year in which most people spent a majority of their time at home in front of their TVs for entertainment and comfort, it is no wonder Netflix topped the noms with 160, leaving behind previous nom-topper HBO with 107.

Many folks had strong (albeit humorous) opinions about the nominations. Here are a few of the favorites.

People Are Sharing Their Reactions To The 2020 Emmy Nominations, And It's Pretty Entertaining

The 2019 Emmy nominations are in, so now it&rsquo;s time to&nbsp;make your predictions. Whether you&#39;re in an Emmy pool or just like to compete against yourself for&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-accurate-sci-fi-movies/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the most accurate</a>&nbsp;Emmys 2019 predictions, you&#39;ve come to the right place.

Below, you&#39;ll find the nominees for Outstanding Lead Actress&nbsp;in&nbsp;a Comedy Series&nbsp;for the&nbsp;71st Primetime Emmys, ranked by who is most likely to walk away with the coveted award.

The competition is tight for the best actress Emmy. Julia Louis-Dreyfus could be a safe bet for Outstanding Lead Actress&nbsp;in&nbsp;a Comedy Series, seeing as she has won this exact prize six times already for her role as Selina Meyer on HBO&rsquo;s Veep.&nbsp;

However, don&rsquo;t finalize your Emmy Awards predictions just yet. Rachel Brosnahan took the trophy home last year for her hilarious portrayal of Miriam &lsquo;Midge&rsquo; Maisel on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Catherine O&rsquo;Hara also has previous Emmy wins under her belt, and this is the first year the awards show seems to be shining a light on indie darling Schitt&rsquo;s Creek.

Natasha Lyonne has also received rave reviews for her work as Nadia Vulvokov on Russian Doll, and Christina Applegate shined as recent widow Jen Harding on Dead to Me.&nbsp;

Another beloved indie appears on the list in the form of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her nomination for Fleabag. Tough competition like this certainly doesn&rsquo;t make Emmy predictions 2019 easy.
