Taylor Sheridan’s TV Empire Still Misses Emmy Spotlight
The 2026 Emmy nominations once again overlook Taylor Sheridan’s TV slate, with Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison snubbed from Lead Actress and veterans Billy Bob Thornton and Sam Elliott in Landman also left out. Tulsa King did pick up a stunt-coordination nod, but acting and writing nominations for Sheridan’s shows remain scarce. Critics point to Sheridan’s contentious relationship with voters and his own admission that Emmys aren’t his priority, suggesting that only technical categories may offer future recognition while major acting/writing wins remain uncertain.
