Emmys 2023: Surprises, Snubs, and the Ongoing Battle for Attention
15 Jul
Summary
- Jake Gyllenhaal's surprise nomination for Presumed Innocent
- Sirens' four nominations, including a nod for Fahy's performance
- Hulu's Housewives-esque docusoap earning a nomination
The 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards are just around the corner, and the article takes a closer look at the most surprising nominations and the most disappointing snubs. One of the pleasant surprises is Jake Gyllenhaal's nomination for his performance in the Apple TV+ series Presumed Innocent, an adaptation of Scott Turow's bestselling novel. Despite the tough competition, Gyllenhaal's work has been recognized, and the article speculates that Apple TV+ may try to convince the cast to return for a second season.
Another unexpected nomination is for Sirens, the loopy, dark dramedy starring Julianne Moore, which earned four nominations, including a nod for Fahy's performance as the impulsive and determined Devon. Meanwhile, Hulu's Housewives-esque docusoap, which follows a group of very messy Mormon wives and mothers, has managed to break into the Emmy race, much to the surprise of some.
However, the article also laments the lack of recognition for shows like La Máquina, Hulu's thoroughly original, darkly funny, and deeply weird miniseries, and Pachinko, Apple TV+'s rich and riveting multi-generational drama about Korean expats, which the article suggests has been overlooked by the network in favor of "uninspired star vehicles."
