Eager to root for viewer favorites 'Yellowstone,' 'NCIS' or 'Young Sheldon'? Save your breath. They and other ratings successes failed to make a dent in Emmy nominations for Monday's ceremony.
LOS ANGELES — Eager to root for viewer favorites"Yellowstone,""NCIS" or"Young Sheldon" during the Emmy Awards? Save your breath.
"When the Emmys were created more than 70 years ago, there were so few shows. The public was familiar with what was being nominated," said TV producer-writer William Rosenthal. That remained the case for most of the 20th century, but today it's"a whole different game, with more than 500 series, and also international series."
The ceremony isn't limited to spotlighting only nominated shows, said returning executive producers Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart. The awards air 8 p.m. EDT Monday on NBC, with Kenan Thompson of"Saturday Night Live" as host. One approach, inviting actors from non-nominated shows to serve as presenters, is already evident: Mariska Hargitay of"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and Christopher Meloni of"Law & Order: Organized Crime" will do just that .
"It seems like a big oversight that Kelly Reilly hasn't been nominated," said Rosenthal, whose credits include"Nurse Jackie" and who is an assistant professor at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Reilly's performance as tough but troubled Beth Dutton in the modern Western is"really fantastic," he said.
When broadcast and daily ratings ruled TV, before DVRs and streaming, Emmy recognition could help make a show. The groundbreaking police drama"Hill Street Blues" is a vivid example cited by Syracuse's Thompson.
