Fans and media commentators have reacted to some of the surprise snubs at this year’s Emmys, with some big names missing out.
The ceremony took place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater last night (Monday September 14), with Widow’s Bay dominating the evening with 14 wins including Outstanding Comedy Series. However, some fans were shocked at the shows or performers that missed out.
One noticeable snub was the female stars of The Pitt, with the HBO medical drama having four out of seven nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, only for all to lose to Alison Janney for The Diplomat.
Some pointed to too many actresses being put forward for a nomination, and splitting the vote as fans of the show picked their favourite. The Pitt’s male star, Noah Wyle, would win in the leading actor category.

Game Of Thrones spin-off A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms also came away with just one award (Outstanding Stunt Performance) out of eight nominations, with fans of the series feeling it deserved more.
