Best Performance by a Bear and yet The Bear isn’t even nominated.
Best Performance by a Dog and yet Dog the Bounty Hunter isn’t even nominated.
The Emmys are a sham!

>Yet later this month, The Bear Season Two will probably garner an even bigger haul of Emmy nominations than last year’s 13, all in the comedy categories. And that’s only one prong on the fork of what could be the most confusing Emmys ceremony ever. In addition, the likely frontrunner for Outstanding Drama Series is Shōgun, which until the announcement a couple of months ago of new seasons in development was framed as a limited series. And among the contenders in the limited series category will be new seasons of Fargo and True Detective, franchises that have been around for a decade.

>All of this comes on the heels of January’s strike-delayed 2023 ceremony, where Jennifer Coolidge won a drama supporting actress Emmy for a largely comedic role on a show, The White Lotus, that had previously swept the limited series categories, and where Succession creator Jesse Armstrong’s acceptance speech for Outstanding Drama Series referred to his show as a satire.

It’s pretty crazy that Bear will sweep again because their most recent wins were only for the first season.
I wonder if their success will drop off after season 3 though because it was pretty mid and the acting didn’t have the WOW factor outside of Carm and Tina.

For a year in the mid-60s, they did away with categories and just gave out Outstanding Achievement in Programming awards.
In about the last 15 years, the number of nominees has increased from 5 to 8. It makes it easier for an outlier, like The Bear in the comedy categories, to win because the conventional vote gets split more ways.
