Sometimes, truly great works of art just aren’t appreciated by awards committees, but it can feel downright diabolical when a television series gets nominated and then loses over and over again. Great shows like “The Wire” have legendarily gone their entire run without winning any Primetime Emmy\u00a0Awards<\/a>, but they were only nominated twice. The lack of recognition is certainly a shame, but it’s nothing like the ridiculous run of bad luck Vince Gilligan’s fantastic crime drama “Better Call Saul” had at the Emmys. The series, which served as both a prequel and sequel to Gilligan’s massive hit “Breaking Bad,” had a record-breaking 53 nominations with zero wins. “Breaking\u00a0Bad,” by comparison<\/a>, had 58 nominations and won 16 Emmy Awards, including nods for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for\u00a0Bryan Cranston, and Outstanding\u00a0Supporting Actor in a\u00a0Drama Series\u00a0for Aaron Paul.<\/p>\n It took the Television Academy a little bit of time to catch onto the greatness of “Breaking Bad,” so fans were hopeful that “Better Call\u00a0Saul” might similarly start winning awards in later seasons, but unfortunately, it got completely snubbed and now holds the record as the most-snubbed television series of all time at the Emmys. Bigger, buzzier shows, like the media mogul family dynasty drama “Succession”<\/a>\u00a0and the equally treacherous but more dragon-heavy “Game of Thrones,” started snagging the big awards, leaving “Better Call Saul” in their dust.<\/p>\n
