Taylor Sheridan’s Shows Getting Snubbed At The Emmys Continues A Long Streak
His Shows Have Only Been Nominated For Categories Like Stunts & Production Aspects
2025’s Emmy Award nominationshave been announced, and Taylor Sheridan’s shows are once again missing from the major categories. This means thatTaylor Sheridan’s dramas have been absent from Emmy nominations since 2018across seven different shows with multiple seasons each.
While critics have been mixed about some of Sheridan’s titles, there’s no question that his shows have highlighted some heavy-hitters with stars like Kevin Costner, Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Jeremy Renner, and Nicole Kidman. Still, evenSheridan’s highest-rated showshaven’t been able to garner award recognition.

Landman’s Billy Bob Thornton Deserved To End Taylor Sheridan’s Emmys Streak
The Actor Was Vital To The Show’s Success In Viewership
Yellowstonemay not have appealed to Television Academy voters for Emmy nominations, in addition to Sheridan’s various crime dramas. However,it’s a shame thatLandmandidn’t earn an Emmy nomination, specifically Billy Bob Thornton, who led the well-received drama as Tommy Norris.
Landmanfeatured a notable castthat also included Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, and Ali Larter, but it was Thornton who truly carried the gritty Texas-set series as the standout. If anyone should have ended Sheridan’s Emmy-less streak this year, it should have been Thornton for his gripping performance.
That’s not to say other cast members from Taylor Sheridan’s other TV projects don’t deserve recognition, butThornton notably led a brand-new story as a rough-around-the-edges landmanwhile somehow making the world surrounding the oil industry remarkably compelling.
Though Thornton couldn’t break Taylor Sheridan’s Emmys streak, there’s still hope for the future. Aside from the previously mentionedYellowstonespinoffs,Landmanseason 2 is happening. There are also new seasons ofTulsa King,Mayor of Kingstown, andLionesson the way. Maybe 2026 will break the streak.
