Tell me they weren't nominated for those terrible Talosians. The makeup for Saru's people was much better.

The Emmy’s are getting kinda silly. GoT’s having 32 for 6 episodes? And 4 out of 6 of the lead actor in a drama category? I’m a fan of GoT but damn.

Oh, the Talosians were great.

Nothing above the line, then? Just tech awards?

As per the norm........I thought at LEAST Anson Mount might get a nod.

don't think they're terrible, but the kelpien and ba'ul make ups from "sound of thunder" were more interesting.

either way game of thrones or chernobyl will take the award. these awards voters still favor "grounded" work to the much more arduous, creative work done in genre TV and film (see: star trek beyond's oscar loss to suicide squad).

 

[Mudd]

I see that The Orville is nominated for Oustanding Special Visual Effects as well.

Best Hairstyling remains elusive.

Has Trek had an “above the line” nomination since TNG S7?

 

[Vger23]

It's nice to see genre shows like Discovery and The Orville in the mix, even if it's primarily technical awards. I won't hold my breath...but wish them the best of luck!

If only they gave out Emmys for the worst horseshit ever written. This show would clean up in that category.

Emmy and Saturn judges seem to disagree. I flick away your opinion like a dry buggar on the tip of my finger.

Your post wins in the same category on trekbbs.

It's the "final chance to praise a cultural landmark"-phenomen. It's the same reason why the third Lord of the Rings-movie got all the oscars, even though it was the weakest of the three.

Why?

 

[Mutai Sho-Rin]

Why?

Because it was a meaningless, ignorant broadside from someone who obviously didn’t watch the show. Blind bias is a horrible filter for reasonable discussion.

That's a bit harsh, ain't it?

Are you really a moderator?

 

[Mudd]

Has Trek had an “above the line” nomination since TNG S7?

Has it deserved one?*

*No.

 

[Lord Garth]

@Mutai Sho-Rin isn't a mod in this forum but he calls it like he sees it and doesn't put up with any nonsense. That's exactly what makes him both a good poster and a good moderator.

Are you really a moderator?

Yes, they are. They also have opinions. He did not attack the person, but heaped scorn on a ridiculous idea.
