If major motion pictures have The Academy Awards to recognize the exceptional work done by stars, filmmakers, and related entities, then the silver screen boasts of The Emmy Awards for their accolades. Thus, the entire world believes thatBetter Call Sauldeserves to be awarded every major category that the show has been nominated for.
The show became the new benchmark of what the silver screen can accomplish with its offerings, just like its predecessorBreaking Bad.Despite the love for the show by the audience and extremely enthusiastic critical acclaim by many, the show has been nominated a total of 53 times for the Emmys but has won not even once, which is why fans are calling this out.
Better Call SaulHas Never Won An Emmy Award Despite 53 Nominations In Total
When it comes to stories being brought to life on the screen that defy expectations and truly give us something to marvel at, seldom do we think of TV shows as the ones to do it. But despite this popular belief, director Vince Gilligan managed to flip the script and makeBetter Call Saul, the show that raised the bar for silver screen dramas of the future.
And yet, even after six seasons and 53 nominations for the Drama Series category in all these years, people are naturally shocked when they learn that the show has never won a single Emmy Award. Even when lead starBob Odenkirk, who plays the role of the titular protagonist Saul Goodman in the series, has never won an Emmy for his outstanding performance.

This is considered to be one of if not the biggest robbery in the 75 years of history associated with The Emmys, where such a widely-beloved and absolute masterpiece of a TV show only has a staggering number of nominations for it, but not a single win in any of those categories. With both public and critical acclaim overflowing in favor of the series, the audience is calling it downright unjustifiable to not award them what they deserve.
What Do the Fans Have to Say About This?
In the eyes of most audience members,Better Call Saulwas arguably even better than its predecessorBreaking Bad, and still, The Emmys failed to acknowledge that impact, which is why fans are voicing their opinions.
fucking unbelievable, it deserved it just as much as breaking bad did for most of its awards. People who seen it obviously know how great it was but it’s a shame it was never awarded

Emmys made sure Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould never sniffed a category win after Breaking Bad

In the end, the show never got an award to commemorate their contributions to the silver screen, which will forever go down in history as an oversight on the part of The Emmys.
