News culture This iconic series has been nominated for Emmy Awards 53 times and has never won an award. It’s a common misunderstanding!
The fans are in an uproar: despite around fifty nominations, the highly acclaimed series receives no awards.
The Better Call Saul event series, broadcast between 2015 and 2022, aimed to expand a little on the enjoyment experienced in the Breaking Bad universe with a spin-off centered on the adventures of Saul, a downright corrupt lawyer with little remorse. The program is certainly less successful than its predecessor, but the reviews particularly praise it. However, the program has been suffering from a strange curse for several years. Already last year he recorded a total of 46 Emmy nominations for…zero awards. For comparison: “Breaking Bad” won 16 Emmys out of 58 nominations, including for best drama series.
This year the torture continues as the series was nominated for seven Emmys, including Best Drama Series, Lead Actor for Bob Odenkirk, Supporting Actress for Rhea Seehorn, Editing, Comedy, Drama or Variety Series, Sound Mixing and even two nominations in the category of Best Writing for a Drama Series for the episode “Point and Shoot” and the series finale entitled “Saul Gone”. Result: zero price. bEtter Call Saul now has 53 nominations and no wins, enough to make fans bitter. Of course, many people on Twitter are outraged. “The fact that Bob Odenkirk never won an Emmy for Better Call Saul is absolutely criminal and one of the worst things to ever happen to the Emmys. That being said, Bob Odenkirk’s brilliant performance has probably created “one of, if not, the most complex characters ever created,” read a tweet that received more than 10,000 likes.

After Breaking Bad
Note that after his successes “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” director Vince Giligan has no plans to stop. His next project has already been entrusted to the streaming platform Apple and will count on the presence of Rhea Seehorn (interpreter of Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul) as headliner and Giligan as showrunner and executive producer. The show will be set in Albuquerque, California and will revolve around “light science fiction.” “There’s no crime, no meth. It’s going to be fun and different. I don’t know how people will react, whether they’ll love it or hate it or whether they’ll fall somewhere in between. two,” the director previously clarified, adding, “In the first episode, the world changes all of a sudden, and then it’s completely different. The consequences that arise from this will, I hope, be the source of a drama for many “subsequent episodes”. The rest of the scenario is still very secret for now.
