The Emmys this year are stacked with redundancies. There are at least two nominees from the same show in any given acting category.
so shallow? The longstanding forces that propel Emmy front-runners have become even more pronounced in an era of TV overload, according to members of the Television Academy and awards analysts. A similar kind of winnowing effect is playing out across other industries awash in content, from movies to music, as overwhelmed consumers flock to a small number of megahits that everyone is chattering about.
That drumbeat of promotion meets the psychology of buzz in the minds of Emmy voters when it comes time for them to select nominees. “They might not know every supporting actor or guest actor on the ballot, but they do know that everyone is talking about how good ‘The White Lotus’ or ‘Succession’ is,” one Academy member said.
Nomination swarms have a long history. The tiers for supporting and guest actors are routinely stacked with “Saturday Night Live” talent. Cast members from “Game of Thrones,” “Modern Family” and other decorated shows of the past were elbow-to-elbow in some categories. In 1982, “Hill Street Blues” filled 100% of the five slots for best supporting actor in a drama.
“It’s outrageous this year,” said Pete Hammond, an awards columnist for the trade publication Deadline and an Emmy voter. “It’s indicative to me that the Academy’s actors’ branch watches five shows and that’s it.”
