Fans of Strangers Things and Sydney Sweeney have reacted to their respective snubs at the Emmys.
The nominations for the prestigious TV awards were announced on Wednesday (July 8) morning in Los Angeles, with the ceremony itself taking place at the city’s Peacock Theater on September 14 with actress Mariska Hargitay hosting.
HBO hits The Pitt and Hacks led the pack with 25 and 24 nominations respectively, while comedy horror Widow’s Bay earned 19. One surprising title left off the list was Stranger Things, whose final season was shut out of the Best Drama and acting categories. While the finale was divisive, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration.
Jamie Campbell Bower’s portrayal of Vecna was singled out in particular, with one fan declaring: “There are demogorgons in the Upside Down raging that their King was not crowned with at the very least an acknowledgement and nomination for an Emmy”. Another fan added: “Jamie not nominated for an emmy for vecna is a DISGRACE.”
