Emmys: History Could Be Made in Hotly Contested Races, This could be a almanac year for Emmy records. The accolade appearance stars were accumbent if the nominations were appear endure month, ambience up showdowns in a bulk of key categories that could aftereffect in record-setting wins (or, in a few cases, losses) appear Sept. 20.
That includes both of the top alternation races, area old favorites “Mad Men” and “Modern Family” vie to set new best highs in their categories against buzzy competitors jostling to accomplish their own appropriate mark on Emmy history.
“Modern Family” has claimed the ball alternation cost 5 years running, abrogation it angry for a lot of wins with “Frasier,” which able the aforementioned accomplishment amid 1994 and 1998. If the ABC ball squeaks out one added victory, it will authority the new almanac solo.
It’s absorbing to note, however, that the appearance that brought the “Frasier” acceptable band to an end was Fox’s zeitgeisty dramedy “Ally McBeal.” And “Modern Family” has its own dramedy amateur in Amazon’s “Transparent.”
If “Transparent” takes ball alternation honors, and some pundits are admiration it just might, it would not alone be the first-ever alternation win for Amazon (off the online service’s aboriginal such nomination), but it would be the aboriginal alternation win for any agenda outlet.
Netflix has three contenders searching to pale the aforementioned affirmation — ball appointee “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and both “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black” in ball — but all three are perceived as best shots.
Instead, the ball class is broadly beheld as a chase amid AMC’s dearly ancient “Mad Men” and HBO’s never-more-vital “Game of Thrones.”
A achievement for “Thrones” would be the aboriginal time Emmy ceremoniousness a ball alternation set in a fantasy branch as the best of the year. The TV Academy has a bigger clue almanac of nominating shows with sci-fi, abnormal or fantasy elements in the top ball class (from “The Twilight Zone” and the aboriginal “Star Trek” to “Twin Peaks,” “The X-Files,” “Heroes” and “True Blood”) than in fact application them. The alone antecedent ball alternation best with cogent fantasy elements is “Lost.”
Like “Modern Family,” “Mad Men” is in a tie for most-ever Emmy wins in its alternation field. But this one is a four-way tie with three archetypal NBC dramas: “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law” and “The West Wing.”
If “Mad Men” accoutrements the top account it would become the aboriginal alternation back PBS’ acceptation “Upstairs, Downstairs” to win Emmys for both its admission and final seasons. (“Upstairs” alone ran four years, acceptable three times.)
Meanwhile, win or lose, “Mad Men” arch man Jon Hamm has already anchored a not-so-coveted record. He’s the a lot of nominated ball advance to never win an Emmy. Even in achievement he’d still accept beneath wins than all three men who denticulate eight noms in the class in the past: Raymond Burr (who won alert for “Perry Mason”), Peter Falk (three times for “Columbo”) and Dennis Franz (four times for “NYPD Blue”).
In the ball advance extra race, a added important barrier may assuredly be broken. With “How to Get Away With Murder” brilliant Viola Davis and “Empire” scene-stealer Taraji P. Henson both in the mix, this is the aboriginal time in Emmy history two atramentous actresses are nominated accompanying in the category. And while no atramentous extra has anytime won, both SAG best Davis and Critics Choice TV aces Henson are advised able candidates to accomplish history as the first.
From newcomers to an Emmy veteran, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is eyeing a fourth after win as ball advance extra for HBO’s “Veep.” Combined with her 2006 achievement for “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” one added Emmy would put Louis-Dreyfus in a tie with Candice Bergen and Mary Tyler Moore for a lot of anytime wins in the category.
Whether or not voters in fact anticipate about these annal if they casting their ballots, the adventitious to accomplish Emmy history absolutely agency something to the winners. At the actual least, it beats the heck out of saying, “It’s an account just to be nominated.”
