A general view of atmosphere of the Emmy Award

Ah, AWARDS SZN; how we've missed you. Earlier today, the Television Academy announced the nominees for the 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which takes place on September 22, 2019 live on Fox. While there were some great nominees (including Jharrel Jerome snagging a Lead Actor nom for his compelling performance in Ava DuVernay's limited Netflix series When They See Us, which received 16 nominations), many have been left wondering why some strong performances and series were left to the wayside.

We get it; there's a voting body, and not everyone can watch everything—we are in the middle of the Too Much TV era, which isn't always a bad thing. This is also the year where that season of Game of Thrones received a record 32 nominations. Something's gotta give. There can only be so many nominations, but some of these nominations look a little funny in the light compared to the huge misses and outright snubs from this year's crop of nominess.

As the dust is still settling, let's take a look at the most egregious snubs and misses from the 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations.
