The 2023 Emmy nominations have left many surprised, particularly with Taylor Sheridan's shows, Landman and The Madison, failing to secure any nominations. Despite expectations from awards experts, both series were overlooked during the announcement on July 12, 2023, with only a single nod for stunt coordination for Tulsa King.
Major Snubs in Emmy Nominations
Among the most notable omissions, Kathy Bates for Matlock and Paul Anthony Kelly for Love Story were expected to be contenders but did not receive nominations. Billy Bob Thornton's performance in Landman earned a nod from the Critics Choice Awards earlier this year, yet it failed to translate into Emmy recognition.
Other notable shows that were shut out include I Love L.A., Industry, and St. Denis Medical. The Emmy Awards continue to surprise, as many expected these series to perform better based on critical acclaim.
Individual Performances Underappreciated
In terms of individual performances, Nobody Wants This stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody missed nominations after both having been recognized last year. Similarly, Bates, a frontrunner for Best Drama Actress last year, was overlooked this time around, losing to Britt Lower from Severance.
