”? You know, the biggest series on TV at one time. Most-watched basic cable show in history, and I can guarantee that will never be topped. But yet, an Emmy dud. The series ended its run last November after 11 seasons… and it’s still ignored by TV Academy voters, failing to pick up a single nomination on Wednesday.ever for “The Walking Dead.” That’s because two of the franchise’s most beloved actors, Steven Yeun and Jon Bernthal, picked up their first-ever Emmy nominations.
It was a bit of a thin year for Emmy trivia — no new records for comedy series or drama . But there were a few morsels: Paris Barclay became the first Black director to be nominated in drama , comedy and now limited . Amazon Freevee’s “Jury Duty” marks the first major series nomination for a free AVOD service. And “The Last of Us” pulled off the record for new youngest guest actor nominee, for 10-year-old Keivonn Montreal Woodard.
