Read 'em and weep:

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/2017-emmy-nominees-list-nominations-1202494465/

Biggest crime: no nom for MacLachlan.   After all, Tatiana Maslany won for a similar role in 2016.  🙁

Tatiana didn't get nominated her first go around.  And she played, what, at least 6 different characters. (love that show BTW).

It's probably because the Emmy deciding people are pissed off at Lynch too. 😀

Not surprised by this. It's hard to say there was any great acting here. MacLachlan spent way too much time as Dougie to get any nom I would think. Plus this would have been up in the Limited Series category I would think. Just look at who he was up against.

Twin Peaks will win everything at the Emmys next year.  I mean they have got the acting categories covered, producer, director, writer, sound design, costume design, music.  Basically there is no point in anybody turning up except Twin Peaks people next year at the Emmys.  And anyway the people who run the Emmys will have to contend with Judy if they don't win everything and we have seen what she does to people when she gets angry.

Thanks so much for setting me straight on this!

Just goes to show you what I know about awards ceremonies...  in other words:  

Zip, Zero, Nada!

You don't think MacLachlan was doing a good job in his portrayal as Dougie?  I do.  😉

Do you think he had more screen time as Dougie or as Mr. C?  By the way, I have no idea what the answer to that questions is.  😉

He was great. His character was practically catatonic and had hardly any lines but still had to convey this innate goodness and the smallest flicker of Cooper's.... Coop-ness... somewhere deep below the surface. He was also funny as hell. 😉 Oh Kyle.

I think waiting until next year will be good for Twin Peaks as long as they keep up some buzz around it. The more it sinks in, the more people will appreciate it. Analysis and rewatching will help. So will Frost's book. It's better than asking voters to support you in their immediate state of "WTF????"

As far as buzz goes, ya know what else would help? Announcing another season. (Can't stop a girl from dreaming.)

I agree...not sure which KM role is actually deserving of an Emmy.

Dougie repeated words, Bad Coop was emotionless, real Dougie was there for 5 minutes, Real Coop was practically NONEXISTENT.

IMO Naomi Watts gave the best performance and I wouldn't even say that is Emmy worthy.

Grace Zabriskie. She didn't have much screen time, but stole the show when she did.

Yeah...I stand corrected.

I wish she had more screen time and her new role as a complete badass was explored a little more though.

I think he did a great job with a really dumb character and Dougie had the most time I believe. To be honest, he was little flat as Mr. C but that may be on Lynch.  His only really good scenes as Mr. C was with Darya in the room and the arm wrestling scene IMHO. Real Coop was just not on long enough.

This is why I think you may see few nominations. People just didn't get enough screen time. But you never know. I think Watts and Dern are likely to get nominated.

I think the Mr. C character was done brilliantly. "I want Ray...I Don't need...I want." and the Chaplin style Dougie was perfect and then back to the fifties style Cooper and then the last Cooper more like a real person type of cop ninja. Very well thought out performances that show a very talented actor. Same with the Carrie character. Wow she did a great job in those scenes. Everyone was great. Lynch was great!
