I.just.dont'.get.it. I thought for sure since this was the last season, it would finally get a nod, but noooo. Still stuck in our own little corner, an oasis, but still only a corner. Sooooo disappointing!

Stranger Things is also awesome though. I would easily say some of the acting on that show rivals Rectify.

stranger things was an homage, from Et, to It, to stand by me, to poltergiest up to the Twin peaks ending
i honestly though Vangelis did the music until the first episode was over
the biggest problem is stranger things is over hyped,
yet barley anyone has heard of Rectify,
i have done my part and shown it to 5+ people,

that wouldn't include the final season though as is hasn't finished airing,
stranger things was overrated,
who knows maybe with the emmys cleared from thrones for a season rectify will still get its break
best drama, best writing on a scripted drama, best actor aden young, best supporting actor clayne crawford,
come to think of it, i don't think rectify was eligible for this years golden globes as it hadn't finished airing on account of it being aired later then its typical summer slot,
so either season 4 ill be eligible next year, or because of its timing completely ineligible
I think the Globes are notorious for their slights and noms. They've been corrupt in the past and probably still are. A lot of these awards go by popularity as well, but they'll deny it.

What was their corruption in the past?
"You must not judge what I know by what I find words for." - Marilynne Robinson
The worst recent examples in my opinion are putting "The Martian" into best Comedy/Musical category for a win. They did the same with "The Tourist," that Johnny Depp/Angelina Jolie mess. Lady Gaga winning best dramatic actress was another jaw-dropper. They're so blatant it's like they don't even attempt to appear credible. Yet people still show up.

Good stuff, thanks.
None of the so-called critics in their organization have any credibility with me.
I liked Judd Apatow's rant about entering The Martian under "comedy."
Apparently they've changed that rule, and some others, like studios no longer able to entertain voters between the announcement of nominations and the ceremony.
Still, in the scheme of things, especially right now, I can't get even remotely worked up about what awards my fave shows and actors get nommed to or not.

i feel like corruption is a bit of an extreme term. With regards to the Martian, blame 20th century fox for submitting it as a comedy.

Wth? That certainly isn't fair. I wonder if it's because Rectify has a lower number of viewers than other shows? Or because it's on Sundance channel, but I don't know what that would have to do with it. I'm obviously not a wealth of knowledge when it applies to Golden Globes, Emmys, etc.
That absolutely stinks. I would say how I REALLY feel, but I'm sure I'd get deleted. What Ava_T posted was interesting though.
unfortunately, alot of the times those awards, just pander to the upper echelon the cream of the top of smug hollywood,

I don't see how this is surprising.
An indie show watched by a VERY SMALL audience on a channel most people have never heard of is not going to be an awards hit.
While the Emmys have occasionally recognized shows late into their run (The Americans, Friday Night Lights), the golden globes are not known for that.
It's just an awards show. As much as I would love to see Rectify nominated, when you only have 5 slots per category, not everything is going to get in. And I was never anticipating Rectify to get nominated anyways so this honestly means nothing to me.
Don't think about awards, they don't have any credibility.
Rectify is awesome and should have Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics' choice awards... but what? Nothing. Who cares?
TV networks and cable networks have to invest a lot of money just to get nominations, it's all about money, not about quality!
The only indie show that I can think of that got consistent Emmy attention was Breaking Bad. Before it broke through to mainstream attention in S5, it was chugging away for 4 seasons on critical acclaim alone. The viewing nos were so low back then that AMC might've axed it if not for the insane critical love. Now aren't they glad they didn't!!
share"Who cares?"
Awards bring attention to the cast and crew, and gives them the possibility for new work and more money. Also, it's nice to be recognized for your work - like the Pulitzers.

Private industry peeps should also be awarded appropriate to their fields.
sharehave never received any kind of recognition, why should the people in the entertainment industry?
That's irrational. A great many industries, perhaps the majority of them, have awards and awards ceremonies, from small to large-scale affairs, often combined with trade conventions. Just because your industry hasn't recognized you doesn't mean people in some other industry shouldn't be.
I don't take awards seriously anymore.
Anymore? Why would you have ever taken them seriously? They're candy, not a nourishing meal.
The one thing entertainment awards shows have ever provided that has been worth taking seriously (modestly) is the Academy Scientific and Technical Award -- which is given at a separate event, mostly off-screen.

Who cares, indeed. Why would anyone actually care apart from cast and crew and their closest relations and friends? And a few gamblers.
These are nothing events, designed primarily to profit big studios. The next day, there is zero appreciable difference in the world.

Care because i want more people to watch rectify, because it is an amazing show
and for my ego, cuz if it won all those people who i described it to and said "sounds interesting ill put it in my queue" and never watch, will finally watch, and see i haven't just been blowing smoke out my ass for the past 4 years, as my passion built,
i can't help it, :P, when you watch something grow, you want it to flourish, its like showing off pictures of your kids(exaggeration)

It is a popularity contest, and this show is simply not popular.
