They are also genuinely perplexed by the Television Academy’s decision.

The 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards announced its full list of nominations earlier today, and while fans are generally dissatisfied, they seem especially offended that Emily in Paris snagged a nom when many more impressive programs didn’t.
Who the hell is responsible for #EmilyInParis being nominated for Outstanding Comedy at the #Emmys? How does this keep happening??? Is the joke on us!? 😒🤔 pic.twitter.com/HzLCOx1QQW

While the widely hate-watched Netflix series somehow made the cut, Beyoncé’s “Black is King,” “Girls5eva,” “Mythic Quest,” “Small Axe,” “Snowfall”, “Ted Danson,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and “The Undoing” somehow did not — among many others.
Sooo Emily In Paris got a nomination but not Black Is King by Beyoncé ? #Emmys pic.twitter.com/JfnOVFVO2a

Some users went so far as to say the Emmys are “rigged.”

Others are simply…sad.

But some are really, really mad. And we don’t necessarily blame them.
the fact that emily in paris n bridgerton got noms but dickinson didnt is my villain origin story

Really, television connoisseurs simply don’t understand how the Academy opted for Emily in Paris over so many significantly more widely acclaimed shows.
In a world in which Girls5Eva, Mythic Quest, Insecure, Rutherford Falls, and more exist, they chose... Emily... in... Paris. #EMMYS2021 pic.twitter.com/Czbt9EkLG2

Many pointed out that “Emily in Paris” isn’t particularly funny.

But at the end of the day, everyone’s mostly disappointed with the Emmy’s questionable nomination.
