Emmys 2017 Nominations: 10 Most Outrageous Snubs
9. The Leftovers
The Leftovers feels like it's shaping up to be one of those shows where your friends keep saying, "You have to watch this, it's so good!" but it never really ends up being a huge hit (until years later when it becomes revered as a cult classic.)
Among the viewers it already has, there's a lot of love, but it isn't quite getting the audiences that it probably deserves. And sometimes with shows like these that's where the Emmys can help, by bringing attention to a show that is by all metrics critically acclaimed.
But that's apparently not in the cards this year, because The Leftovers was almost completely shut out, with the only nomination being a nod for Ann Dowd in the Outstanding Guest Actress category.
For an awards show that has about seven and a half million categories, that is quite frankly indefensible, especially with Season 3 being the show's last ever.
