Netflix sure knows how to spoil the voters! Watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘s Tituss Burgess unbox Netflix’s mailer!
Emmy voting season is upon us and networks are sending out ads, screeners, and swag to woo the Academy voters. In fact, you’ve probably seen your fair share of “For Your Consideration” advertisements already. Unfortunately, the layman are stuck with banner ads and popups, while the voters are pampered with boxes filled with DVDs in an attempt to sway a checked ballot box. Netflix, arguably one of the leading contenders across all categories, is no exception.
Watch as Tituss Burgess, who plays the “Peeno Noir” sensation Titus Andromedon from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, unboxes the Netflix mailer. Let’s just say it includes a few extra items for the Academy voters to enjoy as they take Netflix’s 2014-2015 season into consideration.
From the dramatically twisted reign of Frank Underwood in House of Cards to the unlikely, yet perfect duo of Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in Grace and Frankie, Netflix is hoping to land more than a few nominations.
The Netflix series up for consideration include:
•House of Cards (Season 3)
•Daredevil (Season 1)
•Orange is the New Black (Season 2)
•BoJack Horseman (Season 1)
•Grace and Frankie (Season 1)
•Bloodline (Season 1)
•Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Season 1)
There are many freshman series on their list of suggestions that generate a nice balance across drama, animation, the superhero niche, and comedy. From the looks of things, Netflix is doing a bang up job comparative to most network series. The huge network contender to watch out for this season will the juggernaut sensation Empire.
The 2015 Emmy nominations will air live on July 16 at 11:30 a.m. ET on FOX. They will be read by Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black) and John Stamos (Grandfathered).
Still need more Tituss? We hear you. Enjoy!
The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Andy Samberg, will air on Sunday, September 20 at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
