The Emmy Drama category divides the internet as adult hits compete against youthful favorites. When the Emmy nominations for 2022 were announced, young fans were shocked by the omissions of their favorite series and performers. The nominations for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards were revealed on Tuesday, and as usual, fans are ecstatic.

Fans congratulated all of the shows and actors whose names were read out by Melissa Fumero and J. B. Smoove during the live announcement, but what about those who didn't? This is the only list that is certain to be even more contentious than the nominees themselves. While they don't want to take away from others who garnered well-deserved nominations, fans felt it would be irresponsible if they didn't take a moment to recognize individuals they believe were neglected in the young favorite category.
