>>Matt Lieberman: Hey folks! Welcome back to Sourcefed. I'm Matt Lieberman.
It's the middle of the summer, which means it's once again time for the Television Academy
to pass out awards and piss off the fans of the best shows that we're not watching. The
Emmy nominations were announced this morning by Carson I-can't-believe-he's-still-on-TV
Daly and Mindy Her-show-is-actually-pretty-good Kaling. What do you need to know?
Game of Thrones swept the awards, picking up nominations in 19 categories, the most
of any series, including best Drama Series, best Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage,
Best Supporting Actress for Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister, and Best Guest Actress for
Diana Rigg as Olenna Tyrell. It also got noms for Best Writing for this season's finale,
and Best Directing for the big Wall episode. FX's Fargo picked up 18 nominations, including
Best miniseries and acting noms for stars Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, Colin
Hanks, and Alison Tolman. American Horror Story: Coven picked up 17 nominations, followed
by 16 nominations for HBO movie The Normal Heart and the final season of Breaking Bad.
Yeah! Bet you forgot about that! It aired just a little under a year ago, just after
the nominations were announced in 2013, so the greatest show of all time (tm) is eligible
one last time, picking up Best Series, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Writing, and
Directing nominations for its knockout final season.
Another big winner today is Netflix, who racked up 31 nominations today, including best series
nominations for the second season of House of Cards and last summer's first season of
Orange is the New Black. HBO also had a great showing as usual, with new series True Detective
and Silicon Valley nabbing best series nominations and both Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey
getting recognized in the best actor category. But who cares about what they got right? As
with any awards show, the important thing is blaming the academy for what they got wrong.
What'd you get wrong, Academy? I'm gonna tell you, and then hate you for it, in a segment
I like to call, What the Fuck, Emmys? What the Fuck, Emmys? No Best Series or Acting
nominations for The Walking Dead? IT's the most popular show on TV for a reason, you
old, wrinkled, zombie-hatin' jive-asses! Norman Reedus needs a best supporting actor nom YESTERDAY.
What are you, scared? That actually makes sense. Zombie show.
What the Fuck, Emmys? You snubbed Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany again? AGAIN? If you
haven't seen Orphan Black on BBC America, you're missing out on THE dramatic performance
of the decade. Tatiana Maslany plays EIGHT different characters on the show, clones that
have different personalities, physicality's, and accents. Tatiana Maslany shouldn't just
be in the category, SHE IS THE CATEGORY. Get your shit together!
What the Fuck, Emmys? No Brooklyn Nine-Nine in any of the categories, but you nominate
Modern Family AGAIN? No one gives a shit about Modern Family anymore. We get it. You like
this show. It makes you feel good that your nominating something that feels progressive but is ultimately very very traditional.
There are dozens of better, sharper comedies out there. All of them with more laughs and just as much heart.
You make Modern Family win best Emmy series again
I will dropkick you into next year! Drop kick you! All of you! You suck! I hate you! So much hate!
I need to purge this anger.
Purge it. I'm gonna go watch some good TV.
I want to hear from you. You let me know in the comments, what do you feel about this year's nominations?
Who do you think should have been nominated that didn't get nominated.
Because they should have been.
Like the video, subscribe to the channel. I'm Matt Lieberman.
And instead of, ya know, being angry or leaving comments maybe you should just go and watch
Orphan Black; Doctor Who; Orange is the New Black; House of Cards; True Detective; Silicon Valley
What else was like really good, but didn't get nominated?
Defiance is [explicit] cool.
...And the Americans on FX is amazing!
JUSTIFIED?!
JUSTIFIED YOU ASSHOLES!
I think I might be angry for the rest of the year.
I hate it when you guys see me this way.
Don't think of me this way. See me as your cheerful friend.
Watch TV
