11.
Parks and Recreation (Nick Offerman)
NBC
Since Ron Swanson is among the most iconic characters from Parks and Recreation, it is a shock that Nick Offerman was by no means even nominated for an Emmy for his time in Pawnee. His efficiency because the mustachioed libertarian has made him a folks hero amongst followers, and his deadpan supply of so many memorable strains ought to’ve made him an Emmy contender.

Photo voltaic Opposites
Hulu
Positive, this present might not be nearly as good as Rick and Morty, however Photo voltaic Opposites could be very a lot its personal comedic beast.

Euphoria (Hunter Schafer)
HBO
Hunter Schafer gave her all in her appearing debut as Jules Vaughn in HBO’s acclaimed teenage drama. Given the present’s excessive nature, Schafer ought to’ve already acquired an Emmy for starring in such a graphic and unrelenting collection. Not many trans actors have gotten Emmy noms, not to mention the award itself, and Schafer deserves as a lot recognition for her work on the present as her costars, a few of whom had been already chosen for the Emmys.
8.
Loki (Jonathan Majors)
Marvel Studios
Jonathan Majors made his large MCU debut in Loki as He Who Stays, the morally-questionable founding father of the TVA and variant of Kang the Conqueror. Majors injected an unsettling swagger into his efficiency because the eccentric scientist-turned-temporal dictator, and he instantly established himself as one of many MCU’s best villains. And we’ve not even seen the evilest model of him but. Hopefully, we’ll see him conquer the Emmys this 12 months.
7.
Evil
Paramount+
Mainly The Exorcist meets The X-Recordsdata, this acclaimed horror collection follows a forensic psychologist, a Catholic seminarian, and a contractor who all examine supposedly supernatural occurrences. With three seasons below its belt, Evil has proved itself a contemporary masterpiece with its creative and wonderful writing, and every actor provides a noteworthy efficiency that calls for recognition.
6.
Reservation Canine
FX
Reservation Canine instantly grew to become successful again when it premiered in 2021, because it broke new floor by presenting Native American tradition in a sensible and progressive mild.

Watchmen (Tim Blake Nelson)
View this video on YouTube
HBO / By way of youtube.com
HBO’s landmark superhero collection received a number of awards, together with 11 Primetime Emmys, in only one season. Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Matten II are among the many forged who received well-deserved Emmys, however the efficiency that went unnoticed at these awards was that of Tim Blake Nelson as Wanting Glass. This weird character was acknowledged for his reflective masks and dry, sardonic wit. Nonetheless, his struggles with loneliness and paranoia following the traumatic 11/2 Psychic Shockwave made him a personality that you simply could not assist however discover relatable.
4.
Severance (Britt Decrease)
Apple TV+
Apple TV’s Severance grew to become a streaming hit proper out of the gate with its unbelievable, mind-bending visuals, and incredible performances. Although Adam Scott, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette have gotten Emmy nominations for his or her roles on the present, Britt Decrease arguably received the brief finish of the stick in that division. Because the viewers’s proxy into the bizarre world of Lumon Industries, everybody linked with newcomer Helly R. as she struggled to flee the torment her Outie pressured her to endure.
3.
Stranger Issues (Sadie Sink)
Netflix
Earlier than I proceed, I wish to add Noah Schnapp as an honorable point out for enjoying Will. Sadie Sink has been a collection common as Max Mayfield since her debut in Season 2, and at this level, an Emmy nomination for her is lengthy overdue. Max’s interior struggles had been introduced heart stage in Season 4 as she grew to become a sufferer of Vecna’s Curse, and Sink was in a position to present her true potential as an actress along with her endearing however heart-wrenching efficiency.
2.
Group (Danny Pudi)

NBC / By way of youtube.com
Danny Pudi stole the present along with his efficiency because the very-likely-to-be autistic movie scholar Abed Nadir in Dan Harmon’s revolutionary sitcom. His hysterical impression of Nicolas Cage alone ought to’ve scored him an Emmy. Not solely was he hilariously insightful along with his meta-knowledge of popular culture, however he nonetheless confirmed nice pathos via his character’s struggles to slot in and perceive others.
1.
Mates (Courteney Cox)
NBC
Whereas her 5 costars acquired Emmy noms for being on this legendary present, Courteney Cox was the one member of the titular pals to not obtain one. Like the remainder of the forged, Cox was hilarious and terrific as Monica, however the Los Angeles Instances claimed that Cox’s efficiency disproved the concept that engaging ladies couldn’t be humorous, proving that she deserved simply as a lot, if no more, recognition than her costars.
