Really hate that True Detective is in the main drama category. It should be up against Fargo in the miniseries and it should be McConaughey against Thornton. Instead it takes up a spot that should have gone to Hannibal or the Americans, and a leading actor nod to Mikkelsen, Dancy or Matthew Rhys or Michael Sheen. Though Downton Abbey surely is taking up one of those spots as well. Don't watch it, but I have a hard time thinking that that nomination isn't just catering for the older demographics.

But Tatiana Maslany not being nominated is amazingly bad. I've only just started watching season 2 of Orphan Black and even from those couple of episodes she remains one of the best performances on television regardless of gender. Wasn't nominated last year either.

That was HBO's call, to enter TD into best drama in the hope that it can knock off Breaking Bad in the category that has the most glory.

Doesn't seem to be much rules defining what a mini-series is.

Would love to have seen Hannibal there too, doesn't seem to be in the mix anywhere though. Still it's a superb list of 6 shows.

Modern family everywhere....again.

[Red Black and Blue]

Lols at 'The Spoils of Babylon'.

 

[Gasometer]

The male actor award nominations...well its like just give it to all of them....

 

[Dont be a lemon]

The Big Bang Theory getting nominated is funnier than the show.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Jon Voight, “Ray Donovan” (Showtime)

Peter Dinklage, “Game of Thrones” (HBO)

Mandy Patinkin, “Homeland” (Showtime)

Josh Charles, “The Good Wife” (CBS)

Aaron Paul, “Breaking Bad” (AMC)

Jim Carter, “Downton Abbey” (PBS)

Pedro Pascal > Peter Dinklage

Seriously, how did Pedro not get a look!!!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Agree with others, True Detective being in the Drama category instead of Mini Series is a joke.

 

[Gasometer]

Wat...no Sons of Anarchy...@NSWCROW?

 

[Vincent Chase]

Blows my mind how The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family keeps getting nominated.

 

[matt_897]

No Alison Tolman for Fargo is absurd but apart from that, hoping MM gets the pick over Cranston as lead actor

 

[NSWCROW]

EFA

 

[Roobs321]

Treme finally gets nominated lol (for miniseries oddly after the short final season).

At least Homeland is getting phased out of the major categories.

With Mad Men not getting a Best Supporting actor nod, looks like it wont be contending this year (Mad Men awards fatigue).

We all know BrBa will likely get Drama Series & Actor.

Interested to see how True Detective goes, certainly the wildcard.

 

[NitroFan]

tatiana maslany and hannibal not being nominated (for ANYTHING in hannibal's case) is ******* absurd. almost 'the wire never being nominated for best series' level of ridiculous.

although, for maslany at least, it might be a good thing. shes probably received far more attention from being snubbed twice now than a nomination would've given her.

 

[NSWCROW]

Would like to see Aaron Paul win but Dinklage was brilliant

 

[indy nile]

No Alison Tolman for Fargo is absurd but apart from that, hoping MM gets the pick over Cranston as lead actor

She's got a nom for supporting actress

 

[Loonerty]

How Brooklyn Nine-Nine only has one nomination at all is astounding to me.

 

[Warsaw]

On tomorrow.

True Detective, Breaking Bad is as interesting a matchup as I can remember, even if they shouldn't be up against each other.

[ManWithNoName]

Looking forward to the Robin Williams tribute, Billy Crystal will absolutely get the job done I have no doubt.

 

[Roobs321]

Regardless of what happens, it could be worse (Homeland winning 2 or 3 years ago)
