Is this where we come to express our shock...anger...and the other five stages of grief....how can they skip our beloved TO again...especially after how great season 4 was. All the negative about some of his equals....I thought just maybe...but Raylan is that quiet glaring hero with flaws who doesn't chew up the scenery so.................double damn on the Emmy committee.

Seems we failed to make several lists...must admit you and I are making our opinions known...saw you on several that I "responded to". Maybe they now just assume he will be snubbed so skip mention...he needs to give them the Raylan glare....that will get us mention.

I was so disappointed. Justified should have nabbed at least three categories with best actor, supporting actor, and writing. And I would have thrown in the best guest actor category as well. What a shame.

I suppose I need to go over to the FX site and complain about the lack of Justified Emmy noms.

I am saddened, but you know what? We love what we love and not everyone loves the same thing. Various sites and critics have been singing Justified's praises all along. Just recently, TV Guide put Timothy and Joelle on their wish list for the Emmys. Fans of Breaking Bad are probably jumping up and down. Ditto, Mad Men, etc. I happen to love Downton Abbey, although I don't get the Hugh Bonneville nom. I mean, I like him, but he is not in the same class.
Ask any man on the street and you will get a variety of favorites. Some fans will be delighted and some, like us, will be sad that our fave was excluded. We are going into our fifth season. That says it all for me. I would love to see Timothy and many of the cast and crew to be nominated; maybe in the last season? Until then, I will continue to enjoy the show and thumb my nose at the people responsible for the nominations.

Love the photo, dolphin. Yeah, that oughta do it! Oddly, the snub that bothers me the most is Jim Beaver. He was very deserving and since I follow him on Facebook and twitter, I know what a great guy he is. Very under appreciated. Seems to go with our show. Monday, I'm resigned to the fact that Justified is going to be one of those critically lauded but award-ignored shows like Friday Night Lights. We can only hope for the same redemptive ending for TO that Kyle Chandler got.

OK ladies...let's build a bridge and get over it. We know that there is a lot of love out there, and especially in here, for Justified, TO and the crew and us fretting about the snub is not going to make them change their minds! Thinking about it just makes me angry and I don't want to be angry. So let's concentrate on all the projects he has in the pipeline and ferreting out snippets of info about them....and, of course sharing them. Those Emmy voters don't know what they are missing!

We approach things differently, weegie. I was just sticking pins in a voo doo doll and chanting about all those who didn't vote for Tim and Walton. LOL. Vengence is Mine! Hey, Emmy Voters:There, I feel better now!

Hall ... all deserve to be nominated over his performance for the last season of DA. I'm a DA fan, too. We fans know. We actually watched the episodes!

I kind of liked the way Dennis Tang put it in GQ ........
Coster-Waldau, Goggins, and Olyphant: GQ Stars, Emmy Snubs Dennis Tang
Emmy noms are out, which means it's time for the usual Internet carping and hole-punching in their immediate wake. Snubs! Grievances! Veritable Atrocities! Let's start, however, with the good stuff. We're glad that Bryan Cranston is up for yet another titanic showdown with Jon Hamm; we can only imagine what the tension will feel like next year, when White and Draper will presumably be up for their final seasons. And really, there isn't much beef to take with what's on the list (except Downton Abbey; we stopped watching ages ago, but we're guessing this season there was intrigue?). Maybe it's a testament to the embarrassment of riches we're presented with in this new golden age of television; maybe the Academy appreciates period drama in a way we can't. But hey, that doesn't mean we can't nitpick.
Jaime Lannister was always a cocky, king-slaying prick; funny, what getting a hand hacked off will do for your temperament. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau turned in quite a performance for this season of Game of Thrones, deftly navigating the depths of snark, anger, and mental and physical anguish forced upon Jaime during his journey back to King's Landing, punctuated by his bathhouse confessional with Brienne ("My name is Jaime.") And through Nikolaj's quietly seething, man-without-a-country recount of the Tywin-planted root of his regicide, it turns out that Jaime isn't a traitor, so much as he is, simply, a Lannister. (Though we're told that his portrayal is much less sympathetic in the books. By NERDS.) If Emilia Clarke (who we love to death, don't get us wrong) can get a nomination for her Season 2 work, in which she mostly sat at the head of her army while men betrayed and killed each other on account of her beauty (again, not an unrealistic setup), then Coster-Waldau should've been a shoo-in.
And obviously, the Academy straight-up hates Justified. (Just kidding. Or are we?) The show has been nominated for seven Emmys in its four seasons, a paltry amount for a show some have eloquently argued is even better than Breaking Bad. The queue for awards starts with the show's (dubiously) moral core, Timothy Olyphant's Raylan Givens, a ten-gallon U.S. Marshall fighting not only organized crime, but the sins of the father and ghosts of the Givens family, so deeply entrenched in the rolling hills of Harlan County. That you can take the Marshall out of Harlan has always been the subtext of this show, and that oft-perverse familial bond has bubbled to the surface of late; Raylan's father Arlo, suffering from bouts of dementia, shot a big-hatted policeman thinking it was his son last season, before finally succumbing to the beyond this year—but not without a final "World's Worst Dad" of a pronouncement. This is the baggage that Raylan carries with him, and in that context, well, so what if he leads a gangster or two to his own whacking? Still a whole lot, obviously, which is why as Justified begins another criminally underrated year, it boasts as complex of a central sorta-hero as any show on television, made possible by Olyphant's performance and its endless array of wit, humor, and poise.
Meanwhile, while Justified's protagonist finds himself drifting into Harlan's blood feuds, its signature antihero is trying to kick and claw his way out of them. Walton Goggins's Boyd Crowder has been many things in his short time on our screens: militant white supremacist, born-again cult leader, and all kinds of gangster. But it has only been in Ava Crowder, his sister-in-law turned wife, that we've seen for the first time pangs of real yearning, for a better life, a house with a yard, all the things we thought a nihilistic murder could never covet. Where we previously saw wild action and GIF-able one-liners, we saw a genuine, admirable desire, one that at times even took precedence to Raylan's cold, unsympathetic bad-cop exterior in our own hearts. Like Raylan, though, Boyd, too, finds himself unable to escape history, especially the Crowder's history of serving the unaccented big wigs up by Lexington. The end of this past season, with Boyd's woman in jail and his dreams in shambles, added a new dimension of true sorrow to the character. And Goggins, as if he didn't already deserve a dozen Emmys to date, added yet another facet to his dynamic repertoire—an achievement that the Academy, for space, oversight, or whatever else, declined to recognize.
Hey, giving out awards is a tough job. You can't make everybody happy, and everybody has a bone to pick. But when nominations go so far left of consensus, in both the omission of a popular show's best performance and the systematic rebuffing of another critical darling, some calling out is in order. So get your act together, guys, and drink the Justified juice already. And if you refuse, we know a Deputy Marshall who's more than willing to give Sammy Tonin a ring.

Many thanks to Dennis Tang for loving and understanding the show the way we do, and for sharing it with the GQ readership. And thank to you, lj, for posting this. It was a kind of validation, don't you think?
