TV’s Best Ensembles: Who Would We Nominate for a Best Cast Emmy?

Emmy voters are currently making some tough decisions about the past year in TV… and we want to give them one more tough decision to make.

The Emmys have been celebrating TV’s best actors and actresses for decades now with individual acting categories, but sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Some of our favorite TV shows have stellar casts that run eight or 10 deep with quality performances, and some of these shows even get left out in the cold when Emmy nominations roll around, simply because they’re so uniformly rich in talent that none of the actors tower above the rest.

We’re ready to help put an end to this injustice, though, so with Emmy nomination voting underway, we here at TVLine are proposing a Best Cast Emmy, similar to the Screen Actors Guild awards for best performance by an ensemble, to honor a TV show’s full cast — the big-name stars along with the supporting gems who often don’t get the kudos they deserve. To kick things off, we’re looking back at the past 12 months in TV (specifically, all the shows eligible for this September’s Emmys) and putting up 12 nominees for the proposed Best Cast Emmy, which draws from all scripted series: comedy, drama and limited series.

Read on to see which casts we’d nominate and why, and be sure to hit the comments to cast (ha!) a vote for your favorite TV ensemble.
