Rick and Morty gets Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated a program in a very competitive field

[Jman]

I’d say the smart money is on Arcane, unless the board goes for the Simpsons’ legacy.

Meanwhile Robot Chicken got nominated in short form, but again, tough competition.

The way people have been talking about Love Death + Robots, I think I'm putting an old Canadian penny on that one winning. Nothing against RC but they don't even advertise if they are releasing seasons on DVD/BluRay anymore and that's a warning flag to me.

What sad-sack voters out there are still tossing The Simpsons a courtesy nom?

The same ones that presumably ask their kids what they like for the Animation Oscars because they can’t be arsed to watch “kiddie shit”.

It should go to Arcane but it will probably go to The Simpsons, maaaaybe Bob’s Burgers. Who am I kidding, What If will get it before Arcane.

I think they got in the habit of giving them awards and it's just a hard habit to break.

I was a huge Simpsons fan and I tried watching a new episode last year.... it's just awful. Don't think I even made it all the way through. New family guy episodes are better than new Simpsons eps.

Do people think Rick and Morty is still good?

I liked S4 a lot, but while S5 was hit-or-miss at least they blew the status quo up at the end so I believe it won't grind its gears as much / be beholden to rabid fans next season.

S5 and half of S4 had production problems too. Hell it tends to be the norm for Harmon productions to burn out early so we'll see.

Bravo to the Emmy’s for giving the award to the right show rather than The Simpsons.

Is it wrong the only horse I was pulling for in this race was for The Simpsons not to get pity Emmys?

Nah. Depending on your tastes the other competitors are arguably equally good.

Alas, Rick and Morty gets the recognition it deserves:

Losing to a better show.
