And the Nominees for the Bingeys Are...

(They’re Like the Emmys, but Traditional TV Shows Are Ineligible)

Life seems a little unfair today, doesn’t it?

Well, just imagine how the executive producer of Fuller House feels.

Alas, in the year of peak television, there’s so much content and... so few Emmy noms to go around.

Therefore, in an effort to placate the woebegone and neglected children of our everyone-gets-a-trophy generation, we’ve taken the liberty of addressing this damned injustice. We don’t do it for ourselves. We do it for the Hulus. The Amazons. The Netflixes. The nonlinear programmers of the world.

Gentlepeople, we give you: the Bingeys. They’re like the Emmys, except award-hogging actual TV shows aren’t eligible.

And they were established to address the uniquely modern talents that our nonlinear content providers have brought to the world of entertainment.

And the nominees are:

Most Dysfunctional Couple in a Leading Role
The Underwoods, House of Cards
Jessica Jones and Kilgrave, Jessica Jones
Each and every Pfefferman child, Transparent
Oh hell, this is basically every show, isn’t it?
