Big snubs from the Emmy Awards!

“Euphoria” was left out of Best Drama. Stars Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney were also omitted. Colman Domingo is in as Guest Actor in a Drama.

Only Zendaya made the cut.

For “The Bear,” no Jeremy Allen White, the actual star. The show was nominated for Best Comedy — which it won’t win since it’s not a comedy. And Ayo Edibiri was nominated for Best Actress, Comedy.

But from “The Bear,” Rob Reiner received a nomination for Guest Actor in a Comedy. He will win, hands down. Jamie Lee Curtis was nominated for Guest Actress in a Comedy. But none of the other regular cast in that show, including Ebon Moss Bacharach, or Liza Colon, who presented the nominations today and is a past winner.

Some other snubs: no Selena Gomez or Steve Martin from “Only Murders.” No supporting players from “Only Murders” either. 

Also, no nomination for Paul Anthony Kelly who played JFK Jr in “Love Story.” Sarah Pidgeon was nominated for Best Actress, Constance Zimmer for supporting. No one else.

Congrats to Tom Pelprey, from “Task,” Best Supporting Actor in “Task,” the HBO drama.

“The Pitt,” “Hacks,” and “Widow’s Bay” led with the most nominations– 25, 24, 19 respectively.

“Saturday Night Live” received 11 nominations but none for the main cast. Nothing for Ashley Padilla, the show’s MVP this year! I’m calling the president of FIFA!

My biggest issue: Only two noms for actors in “The Gilded Age”– Carrie Coon as Bertha, and Merrett Weaver as Guest star. None of the male actors? Are you kidding? No Christine Baranski or Cynthia Nixon? So many great performances on that show!

Here’s a partial list.
