By D. Goodman
On Tuesday the nominations for the Emmy Awards were announced and the second season of Star Trek: Discovery snagged four nominations.
Bright and early Tuesday morning, the Television Academy announced the nominations for the 71st Emmy Awards. And while the second season of Star Trek: Discovery was passed over when it came to the acting, writing and best drama series categories, they didn’t come away empty handed.

As you can see Discovery is up against some pretty stiff competition.
The fact that Discovery didn’t get some kind of nomination for the work of costume designer Gersha Phillips seems like a crime and a snub of the first order. And while it would be easy to bemoan the lack of acting and writing nominations, it shouldn’t be all that shocking that Discovery was locked out of those categories.
That being said, I think everyone can agree that each nomination is well deserved and a credit to the many people who work on the show.
