With less overall entries due to the shortened TV season, this year’s Emmy nominations probably won’t spark any protest campaigns. The folks at FX should be popping bottles though for a stand-out year, with 93 nominations — including 25 nods for “Shogun” and 23 for “The Bear.”
The nominations bring overdue acknowledgement for critical favorites like FX’s “Reservation Dogs” and “What We Do in the Shadows” and fresh competition, including “Shogun” actors Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada.
Lily Gladstone and Kali Reis became the first female Indigenous actors to be nominated for Emmys — Gladstone for “Under the Bridge” and Reis for “True Detective: Night Country.” “Reservation Dogs” was nominated in the best comedy series category, for what is its final season. D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai of “Reservation Dogs,’’ will compete for lead actor in a comedy.
The Emmy Awards show will be held Sept. 15 at the Peacock
