We all (should) know about the Oscars of TV awards and here is this year’s batch of nominees. Staying true to the status of “standard-bearer” for all TV awards shows, the Emmys have again garnered immediate criticism, congratulations, and confusion. Todd Haynes’s Kate Winslet-starring period piece Mildred Pierce leads all programs with 21 nominations. Mad Men leads all drama series with 19 nominations and Boardwalk Empire follows close behind with 18 nominations. Of the comedy series nominees, Modern Family takes first with 16 nominations and 30 Rock finishes a close second with 13 nominations. So, what do you think? Is this moving toward a more balanced field of popular shows, acclaimed pieces, and deserving work, or are the snubs too glaring to approve the field?
