Any reason the Emmies hate Scfi-Fi?


There have been some great science fiction shows made throughout the years, some of which have been much better than the crap that gets nominated every year. The best a science fiction can hope for is an emmy for make-up or visual effects.
Where's the justice? Will & Grace gets 15 nominations, but Stargate SG-1 gets 1 nomination? SG-1's a serious sci-fi but it's a lot funnier and entertaining than W&G. And what's even more annoying is that after 8 years SG-1 still hasn't won ANY emmy, whilst worse shows have won the major emmies and even worse shows have beaten SG-1 in it's categorie.
Ray Ramano, an 'actor' who moves as many facial muscles as Keanu Reeves, has won an emmy, and yet Ricahrd Dean Anderson goes without a nomination.
If reality shows can have their own categorie (even though all of them are just crap) then why not sci-fi?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Democracy simply doesn't work.

I do agree with you! It is always the same shows that keep getting nominated! Maybe it is because the sci-fi shows are NOT on abc. cbs or nbc? Just a thought. But you are correct in your injustice in not having fave shows nominated..

Emmys like mainstream and HBO. That's about it. Anything on a remote channel like Sci-Fi won't sniff an Emmy.

I thought Xena deserved Emmys, but more mainstream shows (X-Files, Buffy) have won, or at least have been nominated.

Lost, a fantasy series, won for Best Drama. I wonder if that's a first.

REALITY SHOWS HAVE THEIR OWN CATEGORY?!?! Why why is the entire world going to hell? A reality show can win an emmy but a stunt coordinator can not have thier own oscar category...again with the world going to hell.


And how did you feel being denied these Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Rescue Me didn't win? I thought Denis Leary was up for one though? Maybe that was just for writing. I was so hoping that would take one at least, i love that show. Do you know where i can go to get a complete list of the winners? Last i checked on the emmys' site they didn't have it.
