There were however, some notable names and series left off of the nominations list this year. Notable snubs included everyone on HBO/Max‘s The Sympathizer other than reigning Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr., who recieved the lone nomination for the series in the category of Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie for playing nearly all of the show’s prominent white characters. Everyone on the Showtime series The Curse was also left off the list of 2024 nominations, meaning another reigning Oscar winner wasn’t as lucky as RDJ, as Emma Stone wasn’t nominated for her performance in the series. While his return as Mr. Monk in the reunion movie Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie was nominated in the Outstanding Television Movie category, Tony Shalhoub was left off the list of nominations for his return to the character who garnered him three Emmy wins. And with recent changes to the talk-show and sketch-comedy categories meaning that a maximum of four series could be nominated for what’s now called Outstanding Talk Series, John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A. was completely shutout of being nominated.
