One of the most critically acclaimed series now holds a negative record in the history of the Emmys.
Due to the delays caused by the strike, this is an atypical year in which the ceremony of the Emmy was moved from its normal date in September and was only able to be broadcast in the early hours of January 16, in the middle of the enormous storm that is the Award Season.
On a night when “Succession” , “The Bear” It is “Beef” dominated practically all the main categories, there were many beloved series that left without any victory from the main ceremony such as “The Last of Us“, “House of the Dragon” or “The Crown”.
However, there is a big favorite of criticism who had an even worse night. Since during his six seasons, he never managed to turn any of his 53 nominations into a victory.
At the time of her farewell, it would be expected that voters would try to find a place to fit this veteran, but the goodbye to “Succession” spoke louder and prevented this series from AMC of achieving some joy in its final stretch.
It is often said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place and that is what Vince Gilligan It is Peter Gould they ended up finding out at the Emmys.
After 58 nominations and 16 wins at the Emmys with the phenomenon “Breaking Bad”the same team came together to bring a spin-off focused on the character Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), the scheming, scheming lawyer who quickly became a fan favorite.
Even with no Emmy to call its own, no one can dare call this spin-off, which now holds the biggest record for Emmy defeats, a failure.
Over 63 episodes, the series told the journey of Jimmy McGuill’s transformation into the corrupt Saul Goodman we know in “Breaking Bad”, transforming a comic relief into a tragic protagonist.
With 98% critical approval on Rotten Tomatoes and 86 average in Metacritic“Better Call Saul” was never left out of the category of Best Drama Series at the Emmys, losing to “Game of Thrones” (2015, 2016 and 2019), “The Handmaid’s Tale” (2017) and “Succession” (2020, 2022 and 2023). Throughout its run, the series was also frequently remembered in the category that celebrates the Best Drama Scripts, losing again to the same series previously mentioned.
It is also worth noting that the series received Emmy nominations for several members of its cast. Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Giancarlo Esposito, Michael McKean It is Jonathan Banks they were all recognized, at least once, in their respective category.
