What exactly do Emmy voters think of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”?
The good news for Ryan Murphy and FX is there is seemingly less competition in the Limited Series categories than years past. So much so that it would be shocking if the latest “American Crime Story” season didn’t earn a nod in the top category. Beyond that recognition and a likely nod for star Darren Criss, a “People vs. O.J.” sweep seems remote. On the one hand, reviews were mostly very good with a 74 average on Metacritic, but the TV ratings were often just a third of “People vs. O.J.” instead on par with last year’s FX nominees “Fargo” season three and “Feud: Bette and Joan.” That being said there has been a lot of passionate debate over the historical inaccuracies or “liberties” the show takes in regards to both Versace (outing him as having HIV for instance) and his killer, Andrew Cunanan (too many to list). It’s still compelling television, but will it be a harder sell than FX might think or does the Murphy brand rule when “Big Little Lies” isn’t around?
