Deception
(80%)
The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author makes statements that imply a certain perspective on the Emmy nominations, such as 'Voters Finally Did Their Homework' and 'Netflix Has Growing Pains'. While these statements may be true from the author's point of view, they are not objective facts. Additionally, the article selectively reports on certain shows and their nominations while ignoring others that did not receive any attention. For example, the author mentions 'Slow Horses', 'The Gilded Age', and 'Reservation Dogs' in detail but does not mention other shows that were snubbed or received fewer nominations than expected.
It is easy to say that it was served by HBO's vast array of Emmy-nominated dramas
Despite that, the streaming service still got 107 nominations (the most of any one network/platform).
To say these past five years have been a rollercoaster for the television industry would be an understatement.
For only the second time since it began making original programming Netflix has been shut out of the Outstanding Comedy Series category.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author engages in a dichotomous depiction of Netflix's position in the industry, suggesting that it is either a trailblazer or shut out of major categories. This oversimplifies the complexities of the streaming landscape and ignores the many ways in which Netflix has been successful at the Emmys. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority when discussing how shows from other platforms have won awards in the past, implying that this will continue to be a trend. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when discussing Netflix's growing pains, framing it as a 'canary in the coalmine.' Finally, there are several instances of ignoring the content of direct quotes, which is against the analysis rules.

Bias
(95%)
The author expresses clear bias towards certain shows and their nominations in the Emmy Awards. The author mentions specific shows like 'Slow Horses', 'Reservation Dogs', and 'Scavengers Reign' with favorable language, implying that they were overlooked or undervalued in previous years. The author also expresses disappointment towards Netflix not receiving as many nominations as expected and expresses hope for the revival of canceled shows like 'Scavengers Reign'. These biases are evident throughout the article.
Despite that, the streaming service still got 107 nominations (the most of any one network/platform.).
Elsewhere Shooter became the second series not in English to receive an Outstanding Drama Series nomination, continuing the momentum for more international series to be recognized at the Primetime Emmys, rather than being held for the International Emmys.
Given the honor, there is now even more hope that Netflix will take over the show rights and greenlight a second season of Scavengers Reign, so that the show can continue to be recognized by the TV Academy for years to come.
It is easy to say that it was served by HBO’s vast array of Emmy-nominated dramas – from House of the Dragon to Succession to The Last of Us – all being out of production, making it the network’s priority.
FX’s ‘Reservation Dogs’ received nominations for comedy series and D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as lead comedy actor in the Emmys 2024.
HBO’s ‘The Sympathizer’ only received a nomination for Robert Downey Jr.’s performance despite having notable performances from other actors and crew members.
Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie, and anyone who worked on Showtime’s ‘The Curse’ were not nominated in any category.
Netflix’s ‘Unfrosted: Making a Pop-Tart’ was nominated for Outstanding Television Movie despite mixed reviews.

The article contains selective reporting as the author only mentions the lack of nominations for 'Reservation Dogs' and 'The Sympathizer' while ignoring other shows that were snubbed. The author also uses emotional manipulation by expressing disappointment and surprise over certain nominations and snubs, attempting to elicit an emotional response from the reader.
SNUB: The Sympathizer Many Reservation Dogs fans feared that the show would only get one nomination for this year, for Ethan Hawke’s (admittedly great) guest performance – Emmy voters somehow only noticing the show at all when a famous white guy appeared on it.
Editor’s picks SURPRISE: Apple and Prime had big days
SNUB: Reservation Dogs The FX comedy about Indigenous teens growing up on a reservation in rural Oklahoma was the best show on television for the past several years, yet its first two seasons only managed a single nomination, for sound editing in 2023.

The author expresses surprise and disappointment that certain individuals or shows were not nominated for Emmys, implying a bias towards those individuals or shows. This is evident in the examples provided where the author mentions 'Reservation Dogs' and 'The Sympathizer'. The author also expresses approval and excitement when certain individuals or shows are nominated, such as Apple and Prime. This could be seen as a pro-Apple and Prime bias.
Many Reservation Dogs fans feared that the show would only get one nomination for this year, for Ethan Hawke’s (admittedly great) guest performance – Emmy voters somehow only noticing the show at all when a famous white guy appeared on it. Instead, that treatment went to The Sympathizer, HBO’s Vietnam War epic miniseries, whose sole nomination came not for the vivid direction of Park Chan-wook, nor for the work of any of its actors of Asian descent, but for reigning Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr., for the stunt of having him play nearly all of the show’s prominent white characters.
Reservation Dogs The FX comedy about Indigenous teens growing up on a reservation in rural Oklahoma was the best show on television for the past several years, yet its first two seasons only managed a single nomination, for sound editing in 2023. The comedy categories were a bit roomier this year thanks to the end of past favorites like Ted Lasso, so Rez Dogs finally got a couple of big noms, for comedy series and for D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as lead comedy actor, plus smaller nods for editing and cinematography. That still isn’t remotely as many as it should have gotten – Devery Jacobs being snubbed for acting, writing, and directing stings – but sometimes you have to take what you can get, even for all-time greatness.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains a few informal fallacies and overgeneralizations. It makes appeals to authority by mentioning the success of certain shows in terms of nominations and praising performances. There is also an example of a false dichotomy when the author states that 'high-quality programs such as “The Bear” have no business competing in the comedy category, and might be disincentivizing actual, well, jokes.' This suggests that either “The Bear” is a high-quality show or it is not and therefore should not compete in the comedy category. However, this is an oversimplification of the situation.
high-quality programs such as “The Bear” have no business competing in the comedy category
if the guy who turned Jimmy McGill into the slimeball we know as Saul Goodman finally wins an Emmy for his acting — not for “Better Call Saul,” but for guest-starring as an evil-stepdad-type in “The Bear” — well, that’ll be a better joke than any we’ve actually seen in the series.
The show is so anxiety-inducing, so stuffed with pain, that it has more or less made a punchline out of the category.

The author expresses clear bias towards certain shows and actors, such as 'The Bear', 'Jamie Lee Curtis', and Bob Odenkirk. The author also expresses disappointment that some shows and actors were not nominated, such as 'Reservation Dogs' and Robert Downey Jr. in 'The Sympathizer'. The author also uses language that depicts certain shows or performances as anxiety-inducing, a triumph, or a joke.
But Bob Odenkirk! I will maintain to my dying day that Rhea Seehorn deserved not one but several Emmys for her bravura performance as Kim Wexler.
It's tradition at this point to niggle at the Emmy nominations... But then, well, there’s Fishes. That mesmerizing, agonizing episode of The Bear that landed no fewer than three of its guest stars Emmy nominations this week. It’s a truism by now that the series about traumatized chefs is a comedy in name only. The show is so anxiety-inducing, so stuffed with pain, that it has more or less made a punchline out of the category.
Jamie Lee Curtis deserves that award. Her work as Donna Berzatto, as volatile and dysfunctional a mother as Hollywood’s ever seen, is indelible.
