What makes a show worthy of an Emmy nomination or win? Are the Emmys yet another pointless awards show driven by networking and campaigns? This episode discusses Emmy nominations for the 22-23 TV year. Nominated and discussed shows include The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso, The White Lotus, Abbott Elementary, Wednesday, Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, and much (much) more.

Note: Realized only after posting the episode that Derry season 3 would've qualified for last year's Emmys, not this year's, but the rest of the point still stands.
