Emmys 2019: 10 Most Outrageous Nomination Snubs

10. Julia Roberts - Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series (Homecoming)

The Emmys just don’t seem to be a fan of 30 minute dramas, and even a massive name like Julia Roberts isn’t enough to change their mind on that.

Homecoming itself missed out too, though aside from Game Of Thrones being nominated off the back of previous seasons, there’s a lot of strong contenders anyway. It would be hard to argue that This Is Us, Pose, Killing Eve, Bodyguard or Bettef Call Saul should miss out. Ozark or Succession maybe, but then you could fairly legitimately claim that they’d been snubbed instead.

So while Homecoming might not be enough to get a nomination on its own, Julia Roberts as Outstanding Lead Actress does feel deserving. Without the 30 minute runtime bias, she might have gotten in too.

Fans have been campaigning heavily for Emilia Clarke to win for Game Of Thrones, but nominations for Mandy Moore in This Is Us and Robin Wright in (this season of) House Of Cards feel much more precarious. With Homecoming being overlooked completely, it might have been fairer to readdress the balance and push Roberts forward here.

She’s not short on accolades across her career, but that doesn’t give the Emmys a pass to ignore her.
