In reply to: John Legend, Brandon Victor Dixon, Sara Bareilles are Emmy nominees for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR - mendacity 12:20 pm EDT 07/12/18

Therr are categories with SEVEN nominees. Kind of negates the recognition, IMHO.

For a REAL contrast, look at the Tony nominations!

There were 7 shows eligible for Best Musical; 4 of them were Tony-nominated.

There were maybe 8 women eligible for Outstanding Actress in a Play; 4 of them were Tony-nominated.

There were 5 men eligible for Outstanding Actor in a Musical; 4 of them were Tony-nominated.

You get the idea. … So if you think the Emmy nominations ''negate the recognition'' …

There are 122 Emmy categories, which means there are around 600 nominees. If you count voiceover and narration, there are 20 acting categories. It’s still a major accomplishment to be nominated given how many shows there are now, But the Emmys have more categories than any of the other Big Four awards.

There are a billion shows nowadays. Being recognized as 1 of 7 nominees is a HUGE honor.

''Who WASN'T nominated?''

Tons of worthy actors. Among the better-known ones: Al Pacino, Emilia Clarke, Rita Moreno, Jane Fonda, Jonathan Groff, Kyle MacLachlan, Mandy Moore, Liev Schreiber, Kit Harington, Justin Hartley, etc. Plus, many lesser-known actors, like Cody Fern and Jon Jon Briones.

There are hundreds and hundreds of shows are spread out over network TV, cable and streaming services.

Sadly, only 7 slots doesn't begin to recognize all of the incredible performances in a given season.

Rachel Bloom didn't even get Emmy-nominated for Original Song, like she did the last two years (with Jack Dolgen & Adam Schlesinger).

I wish she had won for 2017's ''We Tapped That Ass,'' featuring the tiptop tap team of Santino Fontana and Vincent Rodriguez. (See video.)

Entertainment Weekly's list of underdogs who deserved Emmy nominations included Donna Lynne Champlin from ''Crazy Ex-Boyfriend.''

Other Emmy-worthy theater pros on EW's list: Sutton Foster (''Younger'') and Conrad Ricamora (''How to Get Away With Murder'').

Nothing this whole year made me happier than Donna Lynne Champlin singing "The First Penis I Saw."

For Emmy consideration: 'Crazy Ex' gets physical with 'Hot Fit Guys'

Just watched that Champlin video, but ''Crazy Ex-Girlfriend'' did a better one: a ''Magic Mike'' spoof, ''Hot Fit Guys Have Problems, Too.''

It features David Hull, Scott Michael Foster and Vincent Rodriguez III as three guys bearing their souls and their chests at the same time.

(As entertaining and as witty as some of her ''Ex'' spoofs are, i'm still not ''Crazy'' about Bloom's backstage commentary at the Tonys.)
