Outstanding Limited Series
FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” and Showtime’s “Patrick Melrose” will undoubtedly lead this category in this year’s limited series nominations. They will most likely stand next to Netflix’s “Godless” and Hulu’s “The Looming Tower.”
Chances are, “Twin Peaks” will not be nominated. Though the haunting revival received grand praise, David Lynch’s awe-inspiring surrealist directing seeping through every scene, the show is not commercial enough to earn a nomination — a disappointing truth when one considers how the series withstood the test of time, capitalizing beautifully on its cult status with a cast of seasoned actors, shocking musical appearances and a series of unimaginable stories.
Steven Soderbergh-directed “Mosaic” will also miss out on a nomination for limited series. The murder mystery is made better by Soderbergh’s signature directing, simmering with suspense. While the show is not Soderbergh’s best work, it has plenty of features to still be considered a contender. Therefore, whether or not its omission from the nominations list is a snub is up to you.
