So did you hear, the Emmy nominations came out yesterday?
The good news? All the “Orange Is the New Black” nominations including but not limited to those for Taylor, Laverne, Uzo, Natasha and Kate, the nomination for Lena Headey, the nomination for Kate McKinnon, the nomination for Jessica Lange, the nomination for Sarah Paulson, the nominations for the SNL Alumni Holy Trinity of Tina, Amy and Kristen.
The bad news? TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED. TATIANA MASLANY WAS ROBBED.
Oh, Sorry, Emmys. It wasn’t enough that Tatiana has played NINE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS on screen. She has also played multiple combinations of said characters posing as another one of the nine on screen. And done all of it flawlessly. But, I totally get it, this is a weirdo show about clones and science and stuff only nerds like. And you already nominated a show with dragons – so you could hardly be expected to also nominate one with clones. What is this, the circus? If you went and nominated every performance that actually deserved a nomination willy-nilly regardless of genre people might talk.
Except, you know, the opposite of all of that. I woke up late yesterday to the news and The Internet had already cycled through the stages of grief from Denial to Anger and ultimately Acceptance. But I just can’t get past the SNARKER SMASH stage. Give me something to breaaaak! Or dance just dance it out. Or better yet both. Happy Tatiana Was Robbed, All.
