Silicon Valley got robbed imo in the actor categories, and gtfo with peter dinklage he was barely around in season 5. Letterman will probably win his category even though it should go to John Oliver. Stewart winning over Letterman would be acceptable. Also a bummer that Jon Voight isn't in supporting actor for drama, he killed it in Ray Donovan.

Silicon Valley will get robbed of best comedy by Transparent for political reasons

I'd be cool with Mad Men or Better Call Saul winning both deserve it

also Justified got a big snub

Amy shumer over Dreyfus or Poehler wut?
Oh she won't win. I find her currently damn funny, I was just tired of Poehler after so many years and Parks and Rec had less and less funny moments from her. I have never liked Dreyfus and I don't watch her show so I can't vote for that.

Ok Animated is still an award and Rick and Morty isnt on it, what the fuck. It deserves it over Simpsons and Over the Garden Wall at least. Every episode was solid and probably the funniest/Original cartoon last year

Simpsons Fox
Bobs Burgers Fox
South Park Comedy Central
Archer FX
Over The Garden wall CN

Is this for his 2014 or 2015 performance? 2014 had that awesome trial scene.

It would be well deserved too. Jon Hamm had the unfortunate run of Mad Men being amazing but going up against Breaking Bad.
This is what I was thinking, and the ironic part is I think Better Call Saul will get robbed by Mad Men this time.

It's a shame Nick Offerman never got nominated for Parks and Rec.

Also, The Americans should've gotten a nomination over House of Cards. I don't mind Spacey, Wright, and Kelly getting nominations for acting since that was top notch as always, but the season overall didn't live up to expectations.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Jonathan Banks for "Better Call Saul" (2015)
That's a category that'd be really hard for me to vote on. Banks was fantastic this season, but I'd almost rather see it go to Ben Mendelsohn since this is his only shot for this role.

Ok Animated is still an award and Rick and Morty isnt on it, what the fuck. It deserves it over Simpsons and Over the Garden Wall at least. Every episode was solid and probably the funniest/Original cartoon last year
Rick and Morty didn't air any episodes during the qualifying period. Its first season was eligiblelastyear and the coming season will be eligible next year.

That said, I think Bojack Horseman could've replaced a couple of the ones you mention.

Still terrible it wasnt nominated last year. Ninja turtles was nominated and Archer Vice. I do find it weird that the award isnt for an entire season and instead specific episode. I dont think Bobs burger deserved to win over the futurama series finale, one of the best series finales

I suspect you will see Mad Men and its actors winning quite a bit since the show ended
It would be an epic injustice if they didn't. That was all around the best show of the year. Writing, acting... well, they actually went a little bit cheap with production in the final half-season. So if we're honest it shouldn't win for that.

But with the half-season shit that they pulled, I can understand if they just get passed up.

You also have to nominate yourself for these awards. There's money and paperwork involved.

It's not a panel of judges pulling down a big old list of "Hey, what's new this year?". The rick and morty guys might not give a shit.

They submitted Rick potion #9 which isnt my favorite but it was dark and set up one of my favorite scenes
