Is “The Handmaid’s Tale” about to go from hero to zero? In a recent poll, 33 percent of readers picked the reigning Best Drama Series Emmy champ as the show most likely not to be nominated of the five returning contenders.
That would, needless to say, be a huge shock, especially since “The Handmaid’s Tale” has been predicted to defend its crown since our predictions center opened in March, along with repeat wins for Elisabeth Moss and Ann Dowd. If does happen, the Hulu drama would be the first Best Drama Series champ to be snubbed the following year when eligible since “24” missed out in 2007. Interestingly, that was the second year in a row the reigning winner missed out; 2005 champ “Lost” was mysteriously Mia in 2006, when the Emmys implemented a new, one-time voting system. Conan O’Brien, who hosted that year, and “Lost” star Jorge Garcia referenced the snub in the opening bit.
