Will the Emmys look like this this year? (CREDIT: FX/Screenshot)
Good afternoon.
Good evening, and good morning.
It’s time for that annual tradition that all of us who are perpetually glued to the Boob Tube know and love: making an Emmy Wish List!!!!!
In years past, I’ve listed multiple favorites in all the major categories, but lately, I’ve preferred a more pared-down approach. So with this year’s edition, I’ve focused on spotlighting some selections that aren’t already getting the Emmy love. Maybe on July 17, I’ll be surprised to discover that my top picks actually are nominated. But no matter what happens, I’ll love them just the same.
Animation: There was some speculation among Emmy prognosticators that X-Men ’97 might end up in the Drama category, although ultimately it was submitted in the Animation field. But that push highlights the tricky spot that animated shows perpetually find themselves in. I’d love to see triumphs like Beavis and Butt-Head or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off submitted as Comedies, but it’s also nice to appreciate them as the toons that they are. Maybe the Animation category could be presented on the main telecast instead of the Creative Arts Emmys?

I’ve been making an Emmy wishlist for most of my adult TV-viewing life. Every year, the task keeps getting more and more Herculean with the proliferation of an endless supply of new shows. I could easily name about a hundred people who deserve an Emmy in 2023, but instead, I’ve decided to do the opposite this year by just picking One Wish Per Category.
These aren’t necessarily my top choices in each category, but they are ones who could use the boost, as none of them appears to be the most likely to win, or even necessarily be nominated. (A few of them weren’t even included on the official Emmy ballot!) But they’re all worthy of viewers’ attention, so before the official nominations are announced on July 12, consider giving these a chance if you happen to ever enjoy that increasingly elusive phenomenon of “free time.”

Interesting. Apparently they give out awards for TV now. Well in that case, I’ll let you know who and what I think’ll win AND whom and what I would vote for! Then we can commiserate together via NBC on Monday, September 19.

Fun (or Frightening?) Fact: this year’s Emmy ballot includes nearly 3000 performers. We’ve all known for several years now just how overwhelming television has become, but somehow it still had room to launch into another level. So for my personal wish list, I decided not to think about it too hard. I’ll just include however many or however few selections per category I’d like to. I’ve probably forgotten some worthy contenders, but I won’t stress about it too much. We’ll find out what the TV Academy thinks when the nominations are announced on July 12!
When will Holey Moley become “The Multiple Emmy Award-Winning Holey Moley”? Hopefully very soon!
I was a little surprised to see Conan on the ballot again, as our orange-topped late night legend wrapped his TBS run over a year ago. But I suppose he did last into June, and the Emmy eligibility period does begin in the previous year’s June, and I’m certainly not going to complain about honoring our boy Conezy one more time!
And finally, hopefully How to with John Wilson can shine through in the weird category it’s been submitted in.
KEY:
Bold=My winner
*=I have placed this nominee in a different category than the Emmy ballot.
**=Not on the Emmy ballot
Variety Talk Series
Conan
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson*
