This is The Bad Place: Twin Peaks, Jodie Comer, and other Emmy snubs and surprises from 2018

Snub: The Terror

What is with Outstanding Limited Series this year? At least The Assassination Of Gianni Versace won’t have much difficulty making it two-for-two for the American Crime Story franchise. And it won’t have to go through the frozen-over Northwest Passage of The Terror, David Kajganich and Soo Hugh’s ends-of-the-earth horror series, to do so. The period setting, distinguished cast, and AMC pedigree had all the makings of a shoo-in—the fact that it’s one of 2018’s best shows didn’t hurt, either. And this is a category where American Horror Story was once a mainstay, so you can’t really blame it on genre bias. Whatever happened, the men of The Terror wound up stranded all over again.

edgarramirez25: Besides the hideous crimes and the unjustifiable homophobia underlaying at their very core, The Assassination of Gianni Versace was also a story about families. Families that couldn’t overcome their frustrations and shortcomings and ended up hurting and damaging each other…and also Families that stuck together and protected each other when life was throwing punches at them from all angles. The one thing I can attest for sure after having had the 
the privilege of portraying Gianni Versace, is that “family was everything” for him. So today, on this joyous day, I celebrate sharing the honor of this nomination with all of these indescribably talented artists who, more than the dearest of friends, are now my own family. Thank you all and congratulations for such an amazing work. 18 #Emmy Nominations, wow! Thank you so much @televisionacad for this honorable recognition! I am so proud of my family! #emmyawards #acsversace🇪🇸 Más allá de los horrendos crímenes y la injustificable homofobia subyacente en ellos, el asesinato de Gianni Versace también es una historia de familias. Familias que fueron incapaces de superar sus frustraciones y carencias y terminaron lastimándose y dañándose unos a otros … y familias que se mantuvieron unidas y se protegieron mutuamente cuando la vida les golpeaba desde todos los frentes. Lo único que puedo asegurar después de tener el
el privilegio de interpretar a Gianni Versace, es que “la familia lo era todo” para él. Así que en este día feliz, celebro enormemente compartir el honor de esta nominación con todos estos artistas de talento indescriptible que hoy, más que entrañables amigos, son mi familia. Gracias a todos y felicidades por este maravilloso trabajo. 18 nominaciones a los Emmy, ¡guau! ¡Qué orgulloso estoy de mi familia! Muchas ¡Los quiero muchísimo a todos!

Emmys 2018 Predictions: Who Will Win?

Outstanding Limited Series

The nominees: The Alienist, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Godless, Genius, Patrick Melrose

The verdict: With Big Little Lies out of the running until next year, there’s no clear frontrunner here. While The Assassination of Gianni Versace didn’t have quite the impact of its Emmys-sweeping predecessor The People v OJ Simpson, it was still a sharply written and lusciously cinematic exploration of a serial killer and his victims, and could well take the prize.

Lead Actor in Limited Series or Movie

The nominees: Antonio Banderas (Genius), Darren Criss (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), Benedict Cumberbatch (Patrick Melrose), Jeff Daniels (The Looming Tower), John Legend (Jesus Christ Superstar), Jesse Plemons (Black Mirror: USS Callister)

The verdict: Darren Criss’s mesmerizing performance as serial killer Andrew Cunanan felt like a shoo-in for this award when the show premiered back in January, and that hasn’t substantially changed. Cumberbatch is an Emmys mainstay at this point; he’s been nominated on a near-annual basis since 2012, and his work in Patrick Melrose is stellar, so he could be Criss’s biggest competition.

Emmys 2018 Predictions: Who Will Win?

robertcatrini_sagactor: In response to all who’ve reached out…so everyone knows and understands…my work this year in AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE was NOT eligible for any Emmy nomination consideration in any category. The Television Academy’s reason: my ONSCREEN TIME does not meet the minimum time frame as determined by The Academy, no matter the level of performance, or how intense or memorable it may be.
