Beyond the land of laughs, Im very happy that Jesse Plemons (our Landry of yesteryear!)
is continuing his rise to monument status with a nomination for his freaky performance inBlack Mirrors U.S.S.
(Though Im sad the TV Academy couldnt find room forthe real hero of Callister, Cristin Milioti.)

Also,Queer EyeandBlue Planet IIwere nominated in their respective Unstructured Reality and Nonfiction categories.
All my favorite unscripted 2018 shows, getting Emmys love?
So as you stare at the list of 4900 Emmy nominees, Kristen, whats making you happy?
Jessica Brooks/FX
KRISTEN BALDWIN:Darren, what a lovely way to approach this discussion thank you.
Merritt Weaver and Michelle Dockery forGodless!
(That said, justice for NoHo Hank!)
Patrick Harbron/FX
He didnt just play one great character; he played FOUR (possibly five?)
I knowTwin Peakswasnt everyones cup of damn good coffee but cmon,The Alienist?
Ill be watching those races closely.
BBC America
But now that Ive got my griping hat on, Kristen: The Outstanding Drama category bores me.
Agh, my joy has faded to rage!
Whats got you upset, Kristen?
Mitch Haaseth/ABC
But where was the recognition forLaw & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders?
Those wigs were next-level.
Maisels Amy Sherman-Palladino, andSilicon Valleys Mike Judge.
If the meteor hits Earth, put those people on the space ark!
Will crossovers become a new kind of Emmy bait?
Can we start dreaming of other shows Annalise Keating can drop into for awards season?
Im positively tickled thatThe Good Fightgot its only nomination for that delightfulSchoolhouse Rockparody tune, High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Are there less-heralded nominees that youre excited for, Kristen?
(I love sayingBrooklyn Nine-Nineand nominated in the same sentence!)
One of the many reasons to watchMrs.
What do these nominations mean, Darren?
In the grand scheme of things, nothing, obviously.
Maisel,Atlanta, and so many more in the national spotlight is a good day.
Any day that Hollywood celebrates weirdness even the gentle, sweet weirdness ofBarry is a good day.
(Much-lovedOne Day at a Timeearned one nomination; the magnificentDear White Peopleearned zero.)
For now, I echo your plea, Kristen.
