Reservation Dogs, The Gilded Age and The Traitors finally made the cut for the top categories, while Shōgun, The Bear and Abbott Elementary lived up to expectations that they would earn nominations for the 76th annual Emmy Awards, which were unveiled Wednesday morning.

Late Night with Seth Meyers also earned a what-took-you-so-long nomination in Talk Series, while Amazon’s Fallout earned attaboys in Drama Series and Best Actor for Walton Goggins. And straight from the Better Late Than Never department, FX’s now-canceled Reservation Dogs earned its first nomination for Best Drama, as did star D’Pharoah Woon-A-Tai for playing Bear Smallhill.

      I agree. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch it until I saw that one of my favorite actors, Tadanobu Asano, was in it and then it was a must-watch. And then it was soooo worth it!

        He was so good! He really sold the goblin energy of his character

        Edit: okay, goblin isn’t fair. Being caught between two juggernauts who absolutely don’t give a shit about you, both demanding your loyalty… and all he wants to do is have some agency of his own. It’s a great performance.

          I think your description nails it! Before, I was describing his character as “slimy” and just enjoying that since he didn’t have to play a stiff and powerful statue, Asano got to chew through every scene – but “goblin energy” is a far better way to describe it.

            He really did chew the scenery in the best way. It seemed like he was having a ton of fun.
