Emmys 2022: This Year’s Wildest, Weirdest, and Most Surprising Nominations

Smooth and Melissa Fumero were charming and capable) only cover a fraction of what’s then posted online in a massive PDF document (this year’s is 58 pages long). Buried within this document are no shortage of delights and surprises, which may not make headlines but do warrant a little attention.
