Emmys 2020 nominations needed more surprises, less same-old
announced Tuesday morning by a raucous, overly enthusiastic Leslie Jones and presenters Josh Gad, Laverne Cox and Tatiana Maslany — includes an overabundance of “I’ll have the usual” nods. (Note to Leslie, for next time: “Ironside” was in a wheelchair, not “Perry Mason.”)The line between broadcast, cable and streaming was erased some time ago, so that’s a nonissue, but for all the talk in 2020 about diversity and change in the TV industry, there was little in the way of shockers in this year’s crop of nominees.
