Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards.That’s a new all-time record for futility, people, and was one of the biggest snubs on television’s biggest night, part-and-parcel of the dominance of “Succession,” “Beef” and “The Bear.”“Better Call Saul” star Odenkirk was nominated six times for Best Lead Actor in a Drama for playing slimy lawyer Jimmy McGill — a k a Saul Goodman — but failed to ever take home a statuette.

It’s a double dose of bad news for Odenkirk, whose followup AMC series, “Lucky Hank,” was canned after one season.Seehorn, meanwhile, who played Jimmy’s love interest-turned-wife, Kim Wexler, was nominated twice for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama and skunked both times.Even the show’s colorful supporting cast, including Giancarlo Esposito as buttoned-up fried chicken-drug kingpin Gus Fring — carried over from “Breaking Bad” — failed to nab a statuette.“Breaking Bad,” by comparison, won 16 Emmys during its five-season run.Even before the Emmys, Seehorn told the Hollywood Reporter that, whatever happened, “We all truly feel proud of the work we created and [co-creator/finale writer-director] Peter Gould, even if I wasn’t on this show, nailed the final season and the finale and that’s a really hard thing to do.”Seehorn was correct: The “Better Call Saul” finale, which tied up many loose ends over three different timelines, was a solid finish to the series — even if the TV Academy voters disagreed.“Better Call Saul” wasn’t the only show ignored at Monday night’s Emmy Awards.“Ted Lasso,” once the academy’s darling with 21 nominations, left empty-handed as stars Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, both previous winners, were yesterday’s news — likely a voter hangover from a sketchy Season 3 of the feel-good Apple TV+.

‘Better Call Saul’ ends 6-season run with God-awful record — and more Emmys snubs
