A number of the shows on the Emmys ballot this year are repeat nominees that drew attention with their freshman seasons. That might mean there’s a greater likelihood of seeing 2019’s first-time series nominees back on the ballot again next year
or the guild voting, there’s a loyalty to certain shows that kind of sticks,” says Richard Licata, an awards consultant and founder of Licata & Co.
But that association is a double-edged sword, one that just as easily could’ve set up the show to underwhelm. Nabbing a drama series nomination for its 2015 debut season — and for every season since then — is not at all something that “Better Call Saul” co-creator and showrunner Peter Gould takes for granted.
“In its last season, it lost some of its luster, both ratings wise and in audience conversation, and if you had asked me a few weeks ago which shows would be a drama series casualty, I would have said ‘This Is Us,’” says Licata. “I was wrong. There’s an indelibility that is built in with this whole voting process.”
The FX show, which revolves around the LGBTQ community of the late 1980s, has resonated with many viewers, critics and academies. It also saw Golden Globe noms earlier this year for both drama series and lead actor, for Billy Porter. “The reason I say that is, black and Latin people, in particular, have a history of being tokenized, and I don’t want our show to just be on a list for the sake of well-meaning folks to be able to say, ‘You see? We’re inclusive,’” he says. “I would hope that we’re there because you really feel we deserve to be there.”
