The 2013 Outstanding Screen Fictions Emmy list!
Well... Emmy time is amongst us again. I'd say the biggest surprise of the year is House of Cards. Honestly didn't expect it on here within it's first season. The other drama noms are fairly expected. It just might be Game of Throne's year for best drama if House of Cards doesn't steal it. There were rumors that Fox's The American was going to make it. But this didn't turn out to be the case. Personally I really wanted Person of Interest to get a nod... but the Emmys seem a little like the Oscars in which they don't look too fondly on procedural drama shows. Comedies tend to be another story however...The comedy noms are weaker. Not sure about The Big Bang Theory. The best of that series was definitely towards the beginning and the last season really regressed into a typical relationship based sitcom... I wouldn't consider it bad just yet but it's definitely the weakest the show has ever been and the whole thing isn't exactly that amazing to begin with. Surprised that Archer or Parks&Recs aren't a part of this list.
So in terms of fictional shows that's really it. Boardwalk Empire has fallen out of favor and House of Cards replaced it. The only real stinker here is American Horror Story... Outstanding "miniseries"? What? Very unsure why this was nominated. American Horror Story didn't deserve it's nomination last year based on it's writing quality and Season 2 didn't improve enough for me. It's reoccurring presence at the Emmys really baffles me. History Channel continue to scrape into the list with The Bible, which is better than Hatfields & McCoy but still pales a little compared to it's nominated peers. Ugly Americans is also notably absent from the animated list... so that's just my first knee-jerk reaction to the list.
Anyways here's the complete outstanding fiction list:
