But in a year that’s asked America — including Emmy voters — to take a harder look at its own racial biases, it’s worth noting.out of the comedy series category andout of the drama category definitely make those fields seem very, very white — and that's even with my feeling that includingamong the drama nominees for a season I'm struggling to get through is bizarre.

It's only two of seven nominees on the comedy directing front, which gives me the opportunity to say once again: Pamela Adlon is the best director of comedy currently working on TV and the annual failure to recognize her in this field — or, this year, in any field — is a botch of epic proportions by the voters.
