Emmys Snubs and Surprises 2020

Emmys Nominations: The Snubs and Surprises

‘Immigration Nation’

"Immigration Nation" is a damning indictment of the systems that make ICE so powerful, and a wrenching examination of the human cost.
‘Ted Lasso’

Jason Sudeikis' unlikely soccer coach doesn't manage to score in this new Apple TV Plus series.
‘Howard’

A new documentary about the late lyricist Howard Ashman is a melancholy gift for Disney lovers.
‘The Weight of Gold’

The new HBO documentary on Olympians has noble intentions, but not nearly enough time to dig into its very worthy subjects.

‘The Tax Collector’

More committed than the role calls for, Shia LaBeouf disappears in "The Tax Collector" before getting anything interesting to do.
‘An American Pickle’

Seth Rogen plays two roles in a fish-out-of-water buddy comedy that's too cantankerous to be funny and too preposterous to believe.
‘Made in Italy’

Mawkish and predictable, James D'Arcy's filmmaking debut, about a father and son, falls short of its melodramatic ambitions.
‘Unhinged’

Russell Crowe's road-rage vehicle delivers exactly the nasty B-movie thrills you expect, with absolutely no dramatic extras.

Beyoncé’s ‘Black Is King’

Beyoncé's musical film for Disney Plus is a colorful reminder of the glory of black lives.
Taylor Swift's 'Folklore'

It's hard to remember any superstar album that has represented a more serious act of sonic palette cleansing than Taylor Swift's "Folklore."
Logic's 'No Pressure'

If rapper Logic is retiring, as he says, "No Pressure" — which reunites him with ace producer No I.D. — is a solid sendoff.
Ellie Goulding’s ‘Brightest Blue’

"Brightest Blue" may be Ellie Goulding's best and most complete work, a lovelorn mess of emotions atop a mass of vibrant soundscapes.

‘Richard II’

Andre Holland leads the cast of a surprisingly intimate audio version of Shakespeare, from the Public Theater's Free Shakespeare in the Park.
‘The Line’

Meet the COVID-19 pandemic's first responders in this streaming docu-play about health care workers.
‘And So We Come Forth’

In Richard Nelson's latest Apple Family play, a Zoom call hums with virtual unease over generational shifts.
