Severance fans all make same furious complaint after Emmy nomination announcement
The Apple TV+ series has been named this year's most-nominated series at the Emmys, but fans still aren't happy.
Hit Apple TV+ series Severance has bagged the title of this year's most-nominated show at the Emmys, contending for prestigious awards including Outstanding Drama Series.
Apple's network has smashed records with a staggering 81 Emmy Award nominations for 14 of its Apple Original titles, with the head of Worldwide Video praising Severance for "exceeded expectations".
Zack Van Amburg expressed his delight, saying: "Severance and The Studio have exceeded our wildest expectations in earning the most nominations for both drama and comedy series, alongside the phenomenal Shrinking and Slow Horses."
He continued to acknowledge the global impact of their shows, adding: "These shows have connected deeply with audiences around the world and we're incredibly appreciative to the Television Academy for recognizing the breadth of storytelling that has been an honor for us to champion."
Despite the celebration, fans were left disgruntled as a Severance star was noticeably absent from the nomination list, reports the Express.
The series boasts nominations across major categories, including Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Lead Actor for Adam Scott, Lead Actress for Britt Lower, Outstanding Directing by Ben Stiller and Jessica Lee Gagné, Outstanding Writing by Dan Erickson, and features Outstanding performances by Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Patricia Arquette, Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie, and Merritt Wever. It also received acclaim in various craft categories.
However, Dichen Lachman, who portrays wellness counsellor Ms Casey, was notably omitted, leaving fans irate over the perceived "snub".
Fans have flocked to X, the new hub for online chatter since Twitter's decline, to voice their dismay over Emmy nods, with Kard exclaiming: "27 nominations for severance?!? That is INCRED but NONE for Dichen Lachman???" (sic)
MariiaG chimed in, expressing mixed feelings, as she added: "Happy that Severance is getting Emmy noms but Dichen Lachman got absolutely snubbed."
Gissane Sophia echoed the sentiment strongly, saying: "And once more, with feeling, Dichen Lachman deserves SO MUCH MORE." (sic)
@miathermopollis succinctly summed up the mood, insisting: "One last thing Dichen being the only actor not nominated from Severance is soooo..." (sic)
The tweet was punctuated by a GIF depicting a woman furiously trashing her living room.
Len weighed in with disbelief, complaining: "Imagine handing Severance 27 nominations but snubbing the highlight of this season aka Dichen Lachman."
As the Emmys approach, set for September 14 in Los Angeles, the overlooked star has yet to comment on the nomination list.
