Nomination voting begins today on the 68th annual Emmy Awards. We've FYC'ed a few shows already so please do chime in on those pieces for Girls, Shameless, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, and UnREAL. Agree? Disagree? (More FYCs to come in this first week of voting.) Since the television Academy is notoriously stubborn about repeating themselves, regardless of the quality variations in particular seasons and shifting MVPs for given shows, our wildest dream each year is that each person with a ballot will think carefully before writing down names that they've already honored. Some deserve to be back. But never all of 'em.
If you had a vote which perennial nominee would you replace with which never nominated treasure?
Even if voters prove traditionally lazy and complacent this year, they'll still be forced to make a few changes: Mad Men, The News Room, Nurse Jackie, and Parks and Recreation are no longer with us which forces vacancies in Drama Series, Drama Lead Actor, Drama Supporting Actress, and Comedy Leading Actress. Meanwhile this Emmy season is the last for Downton Abbey and The Good Wife which will help with shuffling next year.
