Millie Bobby Brown

Solely Vol. 1 of the Netflix sci-fi favourite was eligible for this spherical of the Emmys. She might nonetheless earn her gold subsequent yr, when Emmy voters think about the not too long ago launched Stranger Issues 4, Vol. 2. Will her work in episodes ‘Papa’ and ‘Piggyback’ get her the nod subsequent yr?
Sadie Sink

Her character Max Mayfield has been a powerhouse since her debut on season 2 of the present, and she or he was on the heart of a few of season 4’s most memorable (and finest soundtracked) moments. However identical to MBB, Sadie nonetheless has a shot subsequent yr. Maintain operating up that hill, lady!
Tracee Ellis Ross
With Black-ish wrapping its remaining season, followers had been hoping Tracee Ellis Ross might lastly take dwelling an Emmy for her function as Rainbow Johnson, nevertheless it simply wasn’t meant to be. Tracee has been up for the lead actress in a comedy award 5 occasions, however has by no means received, and this yr, she received’t even have the prospect to strive. Disgrace.
Mandy Moore
The Emmys had lower than a fond farewell for This Is Us and the Pearson household. Whereas Mandy Moore was spectacular enjoying matriarch Rebecca all through totally different phases of her life within the remaining season, it wasn’t sufficient to earn her a nomination for dramatic performing.

‘Dickinson’
Maybe the largest snub — not simply by the Tv Academy, however by the TV viewing viewers at massive — is the present too many individuals are sleeping on or skipping over to make their technique to Ted Lasso. The Hailee Steinfeld-led comedy collection Dickinson has all the things: stellar solid, magnificent writing, killer costuming; plus, please title me one other different present that put out TWO seasons in ONE YEAR! Sadly, creator Alena Smith‘s collection, which was an ideal marriage of interval piece and touchstone of present tradition, was neglected for its remaining bow. Right here’s hoping at the least extra eyeballs will uncover it as they scroll by AppleTV+’S choices.
