Once again, the Emmys snubbed Invincible in the Animated Program category, with this year’s nominees including all of the following shows: Blue Eye Samurai, Bob’s Burgers, Scavengers Reign, The Simpsons, and X-Men ’97.
The Academy did recognizeInvincible Season 2for one category, though, as Sterling K. Brown who played Angstrom Levy scored a nomination for Best Character Voice-Over Performance.
While fans of the animated series are thrilled for Brown, many can’t believe Invincible hasn’t garnered more Emmy nominations.
“Honestly surprised that it hasn’t gotten more,” one person replied to aDiscussingFilmpost about this year’s nominees.
Someone else wrote: “I can’t believe that’s their first-ever nomination. Should have definitely received a nomination before this.”
However, other fans seem less surprised by the news, arguing that Invincible Season 2 didn’t live up to the standards set by Season 1. And some pointed out the steep competition this time around.
One such reply reads: “Tbh not shocked… even though it did a great job of setting S3 and the parallels between [Invincible] and his father. But it wasn’t better than X-Men 97, Scavengers Reign, or Blue Eye Samurai.”
Amazon’s Invincible series will have a chance to win its first Emmy award during the 76th Annual Primetime Emmys, which will air live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 15 at 8:00 PM ET.
