Awards Are Bullshit, But It Would Still Be Nice If Better Call Saul Could Win Some
After last night’s Emmy Awards ceremony, Better Call Saul can lay claim to a remarkable achievement: 46 Emmy nominations and zero wins over the course of its six-season run. Forty. Six. Forty-six chances to recognize one of the best shows on television for its remarkable achievements, and 46 failures to do so. It feels mean to keep harping on that number, but 46 is staggering. This TVLine list showcases 25 great shows that also never won an Emmy, but most of the shows on that list only received a few token nods during their run — they weren’t playing the game as hard as Saul has done over the past six years. And yet 46 losses. It’s a lot! Upon its initial premiere, the genre-defying crime drama may have been an immediate part of the Emmys race as a spinoff of Breaking Bad, which had a much...

2022 Emmy Award Winners: Who Will Win Big This Year? [Updating Live]
The 2022 Emmy Awards represent, in some ways, a wild range of diversity in terms of the people and projects being nominated. A Korean language dystopian thriller nominated for Best Drama Series? An honest-to-god broadcast comedy about schoolteachers, created by its Black star, not just nominated but arguably a frontrunner in several categories? Jennifer Coolidge on the verge of getting an actual dang Emmy? Pretty exciting times. Of course, there’s every chance that the ultimate winners on Monday evening could hew closer to the TV Academy’s long-standing tradition of honoring more familiar shows, as already witnessed by 2020 drama winner Succession being the nominations count leader. But the potential for chaos is real this year, whether it be the possibility of Ted Lasso repeating last yea...
