    Lauren Graham never getting nominated for Gilmore Girls is kind of a crime. She had the critics and media and buzz on her side most years. While ‘Gilmore’ was very indicative of what voters were going for in the comedy categories at the time. She clearly kept being snubbed simply because the show was on the WB/CW.

      Agreed, and the same goes for Buffy, which had the added hurtle of being not just a WB but also a sci-fi show. But you watch the episode "The Body" and tell me she didn't deserve an Emmy for her performance.

    Marla Gibbs stole the show from her first appearance on "The Jeffersons"- her Emmy-less status is hard to take, ditto Elizabeth Montgomery.

    I had to pause so I could fact-check on Wikipedia that Marla Gibbs never won and Emmy. It is true and I am stunned. Most sitcoms made me smile but Marla Gibbs in The Jeffersons and 227 made me laugh. Love ya Miss Marla❤

    A few things in the video regarding Phylicia Rashad are incorrect. Short version - @ 4:06: she has 2 Tony wins, not 3. @ 5:16 & 5:35: Although she’s been nominated for 6 Emmys, she has yet to win.
    4:06 - She has two Tony wins, not three.
    Rashad has four total nominations, winning in 2004 [Lead Actress in a Play: “A Raisin in the Sun”] and 2022 [Featured Actress in a Play: “The Skeleton Crew”].
    In 2005, she was nominated for Lead Actress in a Play for “Gem of the Ocean.” The winner was Cherry Jones for “Doubt,” and the other nominees were Laura Linney in “Sight Unseen,” Mary-Louise Parker in “Reckless,” and Kathleen Turner in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
    Her fourth nomination was earlier this year at the 2024 Tonys in Best Revival of a Play for “Purlie Victorious” (her first show to produce on Broadway). The winner was “Appropriate,” and the other nominee was “An Enemy of the People.”
    5:16 - She was nominated at the 2008 Emmys in Lead Actress in a Miniseries or TV-Movie for “A Raisin in the Sun,” but the winner was Laura Linney for “John Adams.” The other nominees were Judi Dench for “Cranford,” Catherine Keener for “An American Crime,” and Susan Sarandon for “Bernard and Doris.”
    5:35 - She received Guest Actress in a Drama Series Emmy nominations for each of the “This is Us” seasons in which she appeared, but lost all three:
    For season 3 in 2019 [ep 13: ‘Our Little Island Girl’], she lost to Cherry Jones for “The Handmaid’s Tale” season 2b [ep 11: ‘Holly’].
    For season 4 in 2020 [ep 4: ‘Flip a Coin’], she lost to Cherry Jones for “Succession” season 2 [ep 5: ‘Tern Haven’].
    For season 5 in 2021 [ep 10: ‘I’ve Got This’], she lost to Claire Foy for “The Crown” season 4 [ep 8 - ‘48:1’].
    I would have ranked her performances in “This is Us” seasons 3 and 5 over the eventual winners. She was deserving of a win for “A Raisin in the Sun,” but so were the other four nominees (seriously, that category’s best group of nominees came in 2008, and all five should have tied). She truly should have won for her work on the first season of “The Cosby Show” at the Emmys of 1985, which is when the show won Outstanding Comedy Series, Comedy Writing, and Comedy Directing.
    I loved her being highlighted in this video and hope it helps in getting her a few more votes the next time she’s nominated. With wins last week for Sandra Oh (after 13 losses) and Angela Bassett (after 8 losses), I’m hopeful Ms. Rashad can make the 7th time the charm.

  • @jasonhull9154
    @jasonhull9154 3 дні тому +5

    In my opinion, there have never been any greater snubs in this category than...Blair Brown in The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd and all four of the original Designing Women actresses (Dixie Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts, & Jean Smart). Blair was nominated season after season and absolutely should have won/could have won for ANY episode of the series' 5-year run (1 season on NBC + 4 more on Lifetime), but in particular for the final 3 seasons. Of the four DW actresses, only Delta Burke received a nomination--for the episode, "They Shoot Fat Women, Don't They?"--and it was nothing short of criminal that she didn't win for that hilarious and heartbreaking performance. The other three ladies also gave stellar performances; particularly Dixie and Jean (just check out Jean's performance in the episode "How Great Thou Art"; I dare you not to shed a tear!) Thank God Jean has finally gotten her much-deserved and long-overdue flowers for her outstanding work on Hacks. I've no doubt that any/all of these ladies would have/could have won had they not been starring in their respective roles during the era of The Golden Girls and Murphy Brown. All of the GG actresses and Candice Bergen certainly earned their Emmy awards, but it was a shame that their wins came at the expense of these other brilliant actresses. As for Kirstie Alley in Cheers? Nope. The trophy should have gone to one of the aforementioned ladies.

    I have always thought the the Emmy's need to have a separate Acting category for Best ensemble comedy cast and ensemble drama cast. There are so many shows like MASH, Golden Girls, Designing Women, Cheers, Friends, Orange Is The New Black, Succession, West Wing, Game of Thrones etc. Where there is no one Lead of the show and that all the characters, work on the same level and are integral to the success of the show. This way all the actors of the cast would be recognized for their work.

    A someone who was a kid in the 80's and 90's and watched a whole lot of sitcom reruns, I'm honestly shocked that Phylicia Rashad, Courtney Cox, and Elizabeth Montgomery never won Emmys for their iconic performances. Also, I wish their was a go-to place that celebrated the history and greatness of classic Television the same way the Criterion Collection now or TCM back in the day celebrated and preserved the best of movies.

      I did think she’d be better off with the other guy though. Their lifestyles were very similar and he was very supportive. Just having a mental illness doesn’t disqualify you from having a living relationship

    I’m a little confused by the title of this video. I assumed it was about Actresses who never got nominated despite clearly doing work that deserved it. You do have Courtney Cox on here as an example but many others who had plenty of nominations but didn’t win (at least the work was noticed).
    If we are looking at actresses who did phenomenal work but never got nominated, I’ll throw my pick in here:
    Lauren Graham - Gilmore Girls (2000-2007)
    Her performances throughout were top notch and I have heard that it’s kind of infamous in the industry that she never got a few nominations at bare minimum, and likely deserved at least one win.
    Clearly the view of the WB wasn’t high. A real shame even now all of these years later.

    As for Courteney Cox. I think that she faced an unwinnable numbers game. Too much competition not just against her co-stars but with other contenders on shows with more critical acclaim and that were seen as more trendy. Plus Monica could come across as shrill and annoying. Kudrow benefitted from being a truly supporting character.

When presenters stopped saying "The winner is..." and started saying "The [award] goes to..." it really underlined the arbitrary nature of the whole process. Awards don't even help the winners' careers as you'd think they would.

    Courtney kinda suffered from being a bit in the middle. She wasn’t quite as much of a lead as Aniston, and she wasn’t as clearly supporting as Kudrow. When all the Friends were still submitting supporting, Courtney getting nods for seasons 3 or 4 or 5 wouldn’t have been undeserved. I would have liked her to be nominated for 9 or 10 when they were all going lead, just because it’s unfortunate that she was the only cast member to not get a nomination.
