After years of us shouting about “The Bear” committing category fraud, it seems Emmys voters have finally listened. For the first time in what feels like forever, the FX kitchen series didn’t dominate the comedy categories Sunday night. In fact, quite the opposite happened, as “The Studio” and “Hacks” divvied up the awards, and rightfully so. In the end, “The Bear” ended up missing out on all 13 of its nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
I can’t say I’m not thrilled about the outcome. Don’t get me wrong, I love “The Bear,” but perhaps this sweep by “The Studio” tonight will teach the show to start submitting for a more appropriate category moving forward, aka drama, where it belongs!
I will say it does suck that the “Napkins” episode, directed by Ayo Edebiri, lost because that was a brilliant episode of television. And considering that “The Bear” actually dialed up the comedy this most recent season, it’ll be interesting to see where it gets nominated next year. Either way, a lesson was learned tonight. — Njera
What I’ve also had to remind myself is that this Emmy season, it was Season 3 that was up for nominations. It was an overall lackluster season — aside from that “Napkins” episode that Edebiri directed. Season 4 fared way better in my book, so there’s always next year. Here’s hoping that FX and the show’s creators and producers decide to put it up for the Drama categories. PLEASE, chef! — Erin
