Could Roseanne Barr Still Land an Emmy Nomination?

-

Is it possible that Roseanne Barr could still be nominated for an Emmy? The actress and producer, 65, is still on the ballot, Deadline reports. Producers Carsey-Werner had submitted her name for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category in early May. The show was canceled on May 29. John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sara Gilbert were also submitted.

‘Roseanne’ Cast Reacts to Reboot Cancellation After Roseanne Barr’s Racist Tweet

The original show landed 14 Emmy nominations. In 1993, Barr, Goodman and the show itself took home awards, but after the implosion of the comedy reboot, it seems unlikely that the academy will recognize the show, or more specifically, Barr herself.

ABC pulled the series following Barr’s tweet that referred to White House aide Valerie Jarrett as a combination of “Muslim Brotherhood + Planet of the Apes.” She later apologized, but just hours after her tweet, the network canceled the extremely successful show.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey said in a statement.

'Roseanne' Cast: Then and Now

Following the cancellation, multiple outlets reported that ABC was speaking with other stars of the show to try and continue the series, possibly focused on Gilbert’s character Darlene and Goodman’s Dan. The network made it clear during a recent meeting that they would only continue the series if Barr had no involvement whatsoever – including financial, Deadline reported on Monday, June 11. Since she was not a cocreator of the series, but instead of the characters, it is possible.

Stars Slam Roseanne Barr for Racist Tweet

In the original series, as well as the remake, the opening credits read “Roseanne was created by Matt Williams, based on a character created by Roseanne Barr.” If Barr is only credited for creating the character of Roseanne Conner, and Roseanne Conner is not involved in a new show, she may not have to be credited or financially rewarded. However, the network worries this will result in a lawsuit from Barr, Deadline’s source says.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1 finale. What’s next? Yellowjackets quickly became one of the buzziest shows of the year following its November 2021 premiere — and its finale left viewers eager for answers. The Showtime series follows Misty ( Christina Ricci ), Natalie ( Juliette Lewis ), Shauna ( Melanie Lynskey ) and Taissa ( Tawny Cypress ), who were stranded in the wilderness as teens ( Sammi Hanratty , Sophie Thatcher , Sophie Nélisse and Jasmin Savoy Brown , respectively) after surviving a plane crash. Their traumatic experience leads the women down a dangerous path — and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. “Showtime does like their gore. But luckily, this is just a natural agreement on all of our parts,” showrunner Ashley Lyle told Slate in January 2022 of the show’s dramatic visuals and dark story lines. “We knew going in that we wanted to have a visceral quality to the show. Our intention is never to be shocking or provocative for the sake of ...
