Celebrate Star Trek Day with two Emmy nominations for 'Star Trek: Picard'


Happy Star Trek Day!
Fans across the globe celebrate Star Trek Day on September 8 to remember the timeless legacy Star Trek has made on society and pop culture.
#StarTrekDay
On September 8, 1966, a television series pilot known as Star Trek was introduced on American television.
This is a day I hadn't heard of before this month and normally wouldn't have celebrated. I usually let First Contact Day serve as "Star Trek Day" on this blog, but I skipped First Contact Day this year, writing "I'm not in a Star Trek mood" and "maybe later." It's later and I am in a Star Trek mood today, so I'm celebrating by recognizing Star Trek: Picard's two Emmy nominations.

Outstanding Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic)
American Horror Stories: "Bloody Mary" – Tyson Fountaine, Ron Pipes, Gage Hubbard, Heather Cummings, Natasha Marcelina, and Michael Johnston (FX)
Emily in Paris: "What's It All About..." – Aurélie Payen, Corinne Maillard, Joséphine Bouchereau, Sarah Damen, and Ivana Carboni (Netflix)
The Last of Us: "Long, Long Time" – Connie Parker and Joanna Mireau (HBO)
Star Trek: Picard: "Võx" – Silvina Knight, Tanya Cookingham, Allyson Carey, Peter De Oliveira, Hanny Eisen, and Kim Ayers (Paramount+)
Wednesday: "Woe What a Night" – Tara McDonald, Freda Ellis, Nirvana Jalalvand, Tamara Meade, and Bianca Boeroiu (Netflix)
The White Lotus: "That's Amore" – Rebecca Hickey, Federica Emidi, Francesca Antonetti, and Rosa Saba (HBO)
Four speculative fiction series, The White Lotus, and...Emily in Paris? Time to sing "One of these things is not like the others." That written, Wednesday is both a fantasy/horror series and a comedy, so it bridges the gap. It also has great makeup, but I don't know if it's better than The Last of Us. Also, last year's winner was Euphoria, so I'd say The White Lotus would be favored based on that precedent. Remember, electorates matter.
Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup (Area)
Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities: "Dreams in the Witch House" – Sean Sansom, Shane Zander, Kyle Glencross, Mike Hill, and Megan Many (Netflix)
House of the Dragon: "The Lord of the Tides" – Barrie Gower, Sarah Gower, Emma Faulkes, Duncan Jarman, and Paula Eden (HBO)
The Last of Us: "Infected" – Barrie Gower, Sarah Gower, Paul Spateri, Nelly Guimaras Sanjuan, Johnny Murphy, Joel Hall, and Lucy Pittard (HBO)
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: "Adar" – Jason Docherty, Dan Perry, Mark Knight, and Simon Rose (Prime Video)
Star Trek: Picard: "The Last Generation" – James Mackinnon, Hugo Villasenor, Bianca Appice, Kevin Wasner, Afton Storton, Kevin Haney, Neville Page, and Vincent Van Dyke (Paramount+)
A speculative fiction field! Star Trek: Picard has been nominated every season and won this award its first season, so it's certainly a contender. However, I think The Last of Us is the favorite.

I'll have more on the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmy Awards after I return to the News & Doc Emmy Awards for the weekend, and most likely after I finish that series. MLK Day is four months away. I have time.
