“Better Call Saul” once again went on to its final season on Monday night with zero Emmy wins. The critically acclaimed show has garnered 46 nominations in its six-season run (including three last night), but hasn’t managed to take home a single award.
Don’t lose all hope just yet, because there’s still another chance for the “Breaking Bad” prequel to take home a golden statuette.
This year’s Emmys only took into account the first half of Season 6, as those episodes aired within the 2022 eligibility window from April 18 to May 23. But, due to scheduling issues related to the pandemic, the last six episodes of the series were aired. 2023 Eligibility Window (July 11-August 15).
The second half of the season is therefore eligible for the 2023 Emmys in all the same categories as was the first part of the season, as the Television Academy requires six episodes for a series to be eligible in the major categories in any given year.
It may end up similar to the final season of “Breaking Bad,” which split in half and won an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. twice – For both parts. Odenkirk was nominated for “BCS” a total of five times, while Bryan Cranston was nominated for “Breaking Bad” a total of six times and won four times, including the final season (in total, “Breaking Bad”). Bad” was nominated for 58 Emmys and won 16).
But does the show have a chance to win this time? The answer is, anything can happen! In fact, AMC has a track record of winning home wins in the final season of its series. Jon Hamm didn’t win an Emmy for “Mad Men” until the final season, although that show had an overall tally of Emmys versus zero for “BCS” (AMC also split. He even in half).
That’s a good thing too, because Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn’s critically acclaimed performances and many critics describing the show as even better than “Breaking Bad” have fans raving about the series once again.
