GameOfThrones defined a whole era of television. But that doesn’t mean it needs to win any more Emmys. kvanaren writes
Don’t look at me like that, Peter Dinklage, you have plenty of Emmys! Photo: HBO Game of Thrones wasn’t just the biggest show of the last TV season, it defined a whole era of television. When network executives talk about looking for a big hit, it’s framed as trying to find “the next Game of Thrones.” It seeped into the zeitgeist in an inescapable way, becoming a lens through which to view almost everything to do with culture and politics.
This is not a knock on Game of Thrones, a show whose dominance is so indubitable that trying to claim it’s not worthy of Emmys would be like trying to argue that the sun doesn’t rise in the morning. Of course it’s Emmy-worthy! We all know that already, because it has been nominated for 160 Emmys, and it’s won 57 of them. I assume when they deliver the GOT awards to the HBO offices every fall, a truck backs up to the building and dumps them in a giant pile in the parking lot.
Wouldn’t it be nice if, rather than this year’s awards becoming a rote, unsurprising victory lap for a show that’s already smashed Emmy records, the award for Outstanding Drama Series could go to a new show? Imagine if it went to Pose. It’d be a way of celebrating how fantastic that show is, while also acting as a larger statement about TV’s crucial and still-incomplete embrace of marginalized voices.
