After years of Taylor Sheridan’s series failing to be recognized with Emmy nominations in prominent categories, a number of awards experts thought this might be his year with Landman and The Madison.
But neither series landed any Emmy nominations, despite Landman scoring a best drama series ensemble nod from the Actor Awards earlier this year and star Billy Bob Thornton earning a Critics Choice nod for the show’s second season and The Madison being led by the all-star duo of Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. Instead, Sheridan’s shows were once again almost entirely shut out apart from a stunt coordination nod for Tulsa King.
Other well-received series that were shut out include Industry, Matlock, Elsbeth, The Lowdown, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and St. Denis Medical.
The lack of recognition for Industry means that it will end its five-season run without a single Emmy nod.
Shows that underperformed compared to what experts predicted include The Comeback, which only landed two noms for best actress and writing for a comedy series, failing to make the best comedy series category, and Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer follow-up Half Man, which only landed one nomination for best supporting actor for Gadd himself after Baby Reindeer‘s strong Emmys performance.
