The Last of Us HBO Wins Eight Emmy Awards, Snubbed at Golden Globes

Excellent show, although a little rushed at the end I thought, probably the best game adaption to TV/Movie to date.
Will be interesting to see how closely season 2 follows the game!!!

It's not a "snub" just because it didn't win. There are like 200 Emmy categories ("Outstanding Main Title Design" anyone?) and only half a dozen or so Golden Globe ones so it's hardly surprising. You can't complain of being snubbed if you were nominated at least.

Top show. The wife really enjoyed it as well and she has little to no interest in Last of us or Zombies. As for Mr Offerman he is a living legend who is amazing in anything he is in. You get your flowers Nicholas!!

Not quite sure they was subbed but i’m glad they got a lot at the Emmy’s at least.

Tbh I don’t think Storm Reid should have won anyway, for a start Anna Torv gave a much better performance imo.

Nick Offerman was excellent though.

@GeeEssEff I'm half tempted to pick up his instructional video on how to make a wooden canoe simply because he's in it.

I might catch some flack for this, being a video game website, and this scene not appearing in the game, but…that “Long Long Time” episode was amazing. It was perfectly crafted. Showed that there were still beautiful things to be found in an ugly world. I’m a sucker for a good love story, and this one was GREAT.

@Ooccoo_Jr I hate the word "snubbed" in this context. It reeks of entitlement.

I feel like I'm the only person that really didn't like what they did with the show apart from some things (Nick was great so was Anna as Tess), so for me it wasn't a shock that Succession swept the awards

@Athrum You aren't the only person, but I have noticed a disturbing amount censorship surrounding this show so I understand why you think that.

I think HBO campaign more for 'succession' and it paid off very well.

Contrary to the games the most overrated tv show in a while. It was ok. Cinematography was awful (among other stuff)
Succession is/was a masterpiece. No need for useless awards to confirm though

Snubbed equals click bait right ?? 😉😉😉

Meh, awards shows are a joke? You like it? Good for you.

I'll stick with the original game because that's the best place to experience the story it meant to tell.

Fair enough - I haven't seen Succession, but it certainly looks more like something mainstream awards voters would enjoy. Apple TV has had a few big hits worth watching - personally, I'm more interested in solid news of the next season of Severance than of TLoU.

Good show well deserved 👏

It was an ok show, but the pacing was all off as well as certain episodes being pretty stale. I feel like there was just really one or two really good episodes alongside some major standout supporting performances that really elevated the discussion on this one.

I still can't fathom why they chose who they did for Joel and Ellie, as I think they are both miscast. Pedro makes it work marginally with decent matched acting, even with that godawful stash. However, the Ellie actor is particularly awful and doesn't at all fit in terms of acting or representation. There is no way they are making her mature into an older hardened Ellie with that face. She is 20 years old right now, that face, stature, and voice is not maturing past what it is now, and for tlou2 Ellie, it just doesn't work one bit. no manner of shift or coaching in acting can alter that nasal mouse like appearance and matching bratty attitude.

Hopefully they really tighten up a connective tissue to it all that doesn't focus so overtly on these disjointed episodes. We see this new trend of having guest writers and directors for each episode and although it can often result in a few gems, they are often also disjointed and al over the place in terms of connectivity and pacing as well.

Episode 3 was a crème de la crème of the show, the other episodes really drove home the extremes that the actors put into their various roles. At the end though, watching the world through the protagonists eyes brings great parts to others, but not so much for our heroes.
