Well, Fargo won nothing


Oh well, can't say I'm surprised. Still it would've been nice to win something, considering it's probably the best show on TV right now

It won best cinematography.

And sound editing

Come on! It has been the best show of the year and it didn't get any main award! Emmys lost all its credibility!

If Emmys think O.J. Simpson show is better than Fargo, they know nothing at all.

As I've been saying since season 2 premiered, it wasn't nearly as good as season 1. Acted like it was as substantive and deep as season 1, but was devoid of any truly intelligent themes, which left it as a pretentious mess. I'm glad that at least the folks running the Emmy's were smart enough to notice, even if the audience was (at least apparently) fooled.

Season 2 was a pretentious mess? Go home, you're drunk.

You're in the minority on this I hope you know that. It's fine if you don't like season 2 as much as 1, but claiming that the general consensus is in line with your opinion is a lie. The majority of users and critics preferred season 2 over 1.

Yep.

I think ACS aired more recently and is fresher in people's minds, and that's why Fargo was overlooked.

This show is one of the best on TV. The best miniseries for sure.

Season 2 was awesome and I didn't read a bad review anywhere, because there was nothing you could say was bad about it.

Emmy awards are a joke! If you tell me "The people v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" is better than "Fargo" you are out of your mind! That show failed in so many ways... but I guess Ryan Murphy has a lot to do with it. Whatever.

So unfair!

With "you'll need a face guy" the season had no chance of winning anything. You don't win Emmy's with 4 good episodes (5-8) out of 10.

I hated the OJ series (Cuba Gooding as OJ??)

I liked season two even better than season one, which was great also. Perfect show. I just watched Nick Offerman in the showdown at the jailhouse, he was brilliant. A Man of Constant Sorrow playing at the end just blew me away.. Great moments from a perfect show.
