I know it's the sort of show that doesn't really have 'leads' - and I've no idea who I'd suggest the lead actress is, though possibly Michelle Fairley for season 3 - but still, he's in a prime position on the credits and tends to appear in more episodes than everyone else.

I agree that it's sad Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated, but Orphan Black isn't the Emmys sort of show. It's taken them a while to warm up to the non-Peter Dinklage parts of Game of Thrones too. Maybe next year for OB?<br /><br />It was nice to see Scandal get some love too, but I wish Tony Goldwyn had gotten a nod in addition to Kerry Washington.<br /><br />Other Random Thoughts:<br /><br />Two Whedon discoveries for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama series.

It's interesting stuff, but they put a PDF of the full list online for a reason! :)<br /><br />Overall, I don't have a lot of issues with the folks that <i>were</i> nominated, as many are quite deserving. I guess it is great to have so many quality shows and performances to enjoy, but it's a bummer that it is generally hard for new folks or performances to break into the Emmy field. I would have LOVED for Tatiana Maslany to be nominated, even though her odds were long. <br /><br />I'm also rather bummed that Mads Mikkelsen <i>Hannibal</i> and Noah Emmerich <i>The Americans</i> weren't recognized. Bump Jim Carter and Peter Dinklage out of that field. Peter rocks, but he wasn't even the best supporting actor on GOT this year (ahem, Nicolaj Coster-Waldau). Mikkelsen and Emmerich gave measured, relatively still performances that were utterly compelling. It was often quite hard to take your eyes off them when they were on the screen. Ultimately, I'm pulling for the brilliant Jonathan Banks in that category, but I really would have liked to see those two men at least nominated.<br /><br />I'm also rather bummed at the lack of nominations for <i>Justified</i>, which was really very good this year. I would have loved to see Jim Beaver (Shelby) and Patton Oswalt (Constable Bob) get recognition for their guest turns, and I think 'Decoy' was worthy of a directing nomination.<br /><br />I will say that in the "new blood" department, I was happy to see Emilia Clarke in the mix (even though I'm hoping this is finally Anna Gunn's year), and I was pleasantly surprised to see Adam Driver get a nomination for his work on <i>Girls</i>. He manages to make Adam omewhat sympathetic, which is quite remarkable considering how disturbing that character can be.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66724651442102544002013-07-18T13:36:46.387-04:002013-07-18T13:36:46.387-04:00I'm overjoyed that Mandy Patinkin, Jonathan Ba...I'm overjoyed that Mandy Patinkin, Jonathan Banks and Emilia Clarke were all nominated, but at the same time I'm really disappointed that Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated. She didn't just deliver the of the best performance of the year, she delivered several of the best performances of the year. I know it was a long shot but she really deserved to be nominated. <br /><br />And just what do Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins have to do to get nominated again?
