  1. Great to see The Americans success.
    I can’t fathom the continued snob of Orphan Back and Tatiana Maslany
    I’ve watched most of the Female leads nominated above and Maslany is in another universe. Very sad as she deserves recognition, other than local Canadian awards.

      1. Yes you’re right. My apologies.. I had Googled her when seeing she missed a nomination in Critics Choice listing above and read this headline.
        “Once again, Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany was left out of the running for a Best Actress Emmy.”
        I know her online fans have been campaigning for more recognition in the wider TV community.

        So thank you, I didn’t realise she had won 2 critics choice awards.. Well deserved.

  2. Glad The Americans won best drama. I wish some of its supporting actors were nominated though – Alison Wright (Martha) and Annet Mahendru (Nina) are brilliant.

  3. Yep – The Americans, Orange in the New Black and Better Call Saul – all brilliant shows. Just a bit too intelligent and competently produced for any FTA TV stations to consider screening….

    I assume Fargo is omitted because it was produced in 2014?

  4. Nice to see some Aussies in there – Aden Young and Ben Mendelsohn, but some of the nominees are a bit odd and the exclusions too. I’ve never followed these awards, but they must be as political as every other award show. Johnny Galecki but no Jim Parsons? Mom’s Emmy win for Allison Janney was strange, but the series nominated here and no Modern Family at all?
