There were plenty of surprises and snubs at the 75th Emmy Awards , but there was one in particular that upset many.

Mondays ceremony made first-time winners out of Jeremy Allen White, Kieran Culkin and Ali Wong , but saw Better Call Saul completely shut out. After losing all seven awards it was nominated for , the series set an official record for most Emmy losses ever 53 .

Thomas Schnauz, who has written more than a dozen Saul episodes since it premiered in 2015, couldnt help but notice that fact, which was ultimately brought to his attention by a Variety article published after the ceremony on X, formerly Twitter.

Fans were far less amused by the snubbing on display, as this was the very last chance for Saul to win an Emmy. Thus, the popular Breaking Bad spinoff, which ended to critical acclaim in 2022, had a rather shocking and empty-handed sendoff at the event.

Sorry to the case of #BetterCallSaul for not winning a emmy for THE ENTIRE 6 FUCKING SEASONS, wrote one particularly impassioned fan on X , adding that its stupid because you all deserve the world for the story you formed.

The show had strong competition despite being nominated for seven Emmys. It lost the Outstanding Drama Series and Writing for a Drama Series trophies to Succession , which admittedly captured the modern capitalist zeitgeist to universal praise.

Jennifer Coolidge went on to win the Outstanding Supporting Actress statuette for The White Lotus over Rhea Seehorn , who played attorney Kim Wexler on Saul.
