Worst embarrassment of this year's Emmy nominations

Louie Anderson has already wrongly won an Emmy for best supporting actor for playing himself in a dress on BASKETS.

He's been nominated again this year.

Thank you for Voting for me!

To be clear, Christine Baskets is supposed to be a woman.

Louie brings no range or credibility as a woman.

This is not Linda Hunt in THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY.

It's not even David Spade and Adam Sandler in dresses on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

This is an awful performance and a huge insult to women.


Were the entertainment industry truly progressive, they would be outraged by this performance.

Instead, they applaud this garbage.

The Aaron Sorkin Award goes to . . .

The award for the most pampered and praised minor talent, The Aaron Sorkin, goes to . . .


Julia Louis-Dreyfus who was just nominated for her sixth Emmy for VEEP despite having already earned five Emmys for the same role.

Has she grown each season?

No.

It's still the same performance she was giving on THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE.

But she's on HBO .

So no one's really watching.

It’s time to give someone other than Julia Louis-Dreyfus the best comedy actress Emmy (by @kevinokeefe) http://bit.ly/2uVtl3p

The only Emmy category that got it right

The six actresses nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie is the only time the Emmys got it right this year.

Carrie Coon (FARGO), Felicity Huffman (AMERICAN CRIME), Nicole Kidman (BIG LITTLE LIES), Jessica Lange (FEUD), Susan Sarandon (FEUD) and Reese Witherspoon (BIG LITTLE LIES) are all deserving and gave outstanding performances.


It was the only category the Emmys got right in their nominations this year.
