The Guy Who Runs Sons Of Anarchy Is Losing His Shit Over Emmy Snub

"Saw two Academy members on the golf course. One asked the other what club to use. Then they both died because they were so fucking old."

PUT RYAN MURPHY'S BABY DOWN AND BACK AWAY, KATEY!
PUT RYAN MURPHY'S BABY DOWN AND BACK AWAY, KATEY!

That headline pretty much says all there is to say about Kurt Sutter's reaction to the fact that Sons Of Anarchy didn't get nominated for any Emmys at all, including for the often-great performance of his wife, Katey Segal. He's lashing out at anyone and everything. Here's just a sampling of what he's laid down on Twitter thus far (strong language ahead):

  • my very classy, ever grateful and humble wife forbade me from using the word CUNT today. so i'll wait till midnight to address the emmy noms
  • sorry @JohnSolbergFX. midnight strikes, i'm burning bridges. you and FX might be standing on one.
  • fuck glee. hate those annoying, "please accept me for who i am", singing brats. there, i said it. are you happy?
  • BTW. not saying we deserved any emmys, i just like to be included. and let's face it, the only reason you follow me is to hear the word CUNT
  • the worse part of not getting any emmy nods is all the wasted blowjobs i gave at the academy picnic. my breath still smells like sour amonia
  • the worse part of not getting an emmy nod. katey promised me a threesome if she won. now i have to settle for me, her and the shaved bunny.
  • best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don't have to pretend i give a shit about the profiteering douchebag academy.
  • because you know if we were nominated i'd be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a dick.
  • my next blog post: HOW NETWORKS BUY EMMYS. stay tuned, it's gonna be delicious... and probably get me fired.
  • i envision every academy member having sex with a cheap, light blue poly-cotton sheet between penis and vagina.
  • i love ryan murphy. he's always very cool with me. love glee too. just tired of all the jizz piling up at its feet.
  • it would be difficult to put me on the red carpet. they'd need a 3-day delay.
  • FNL gives me hope. maybe S7 of SOA will get nominated -- when the guys have all become doctors and lawyers who sing in a fucking choir.
  • these two academy member walk into a bar. one orders a beer. then they both die because they're so fucking old.
  • broke into an academy member's porn locker. found sticky fully-clothed photos of mariska hargitay, kathy bates...and matt weiner. very odd.
  • saw two academy members on the gold course. one asked the other what club to use. then they both died because they were so fucking old.
  • if my mom and dad were alive this emmy snub would kill them. that's not true, they were too old to understand my show. just like the academy
  • you do know that i'm really okay with no noms right? if i was really upset, i wouldn't be ranting. i'd be plotting. i'm all about the love.
  • wow. i'm exhausted. and... oh, my god. i came. i have to shower and eat some vegan pudding. see ya later, cunts.

Well. I hate that "Tell us how you REALLY feel, why don't you?" saying, so I'm not going to say it. But I think the guy's a little upset.

Also, while Amy Poehler is grateful over Parks & Recreation's nominations, she has this to say about Nick Offerman not getting any noms: “It’s a hot load of bullshit that he didn’t get a nomination, and you can quote me on that.”

Well, this persuaded me to start watching Sons of Anarchy. I guess his attention-whoring worked.

He is kind of right on this one he also twipics from the set which is cool. SOA is one of my favorite show on TV right now was bummed they didn't get a nod this season though wasn't as good as 2 though.

Kurt Sutter, my hat's off to you. That was amazing.

I believe I'm going to check it out as well.

I have to admit, this is pretty funny. I haven't seen the show but I've only heard good things. If Dexter got nominated for its lame Season 5, I don't see why Sons of Anarchy could've gotten on there.
Flap_jacksonon July 14, 2011 at 4:33 p.m.
I forgot that Peg Bundy was his wife. That kind of excuses 2 or 3 of these, but HOLY CRAP! I would not be surprised if FX cancelled Sons of Anarchy tomorrow. That or he's fired. I mean, when your employee, who gives you a marginally-rated show that's waning in critical love, talks some major crap about you, don't you kind of have to punish him in some manner?
RYNO9881on July 14, 2011 at 4:33 p.m.

Nick Offerman not getting anything is sad. He's so good in Parks and Recreation.

Kraznoron July 14, 2011 at 4:37 p.m.
Alright, never watching "Sons of Anarchy" now. Well done guy!
Jiggahon July 14, 2011 at 4:44 p.m.
The fact that Modern Family got three people outstanding supporting actor in comedy noms, yet Parks and Rec didn't get Offerman a nomination is pure shit.  I love Modern Family, but that right there is a snub.

@JoblessTerence: I've only seen the first season and pieces of the second, its actually a pretty good show if you're into crazy people and bikes

LOL so true

Sons of Anarachy deserves noms, it's a great show that should get awards
wickedsc3on July 14, 2011 at 5:16 p.m.

I like SOA, and his tweets just reinforce that.

ninjadude853on July 14, 2011 at 5:21 p.m.
I'm kind of surprised it didn't get any nominations... but the guy seems to be overreacting.
ThePickleon July 14, 2011 at 5:56 p.m.

Where's Vince Gilligan in all of this? BB hasn't even premiered yet and it will certainly blow everything else on that list away.

Also, this guy will never win another award for his entire life. Congrats bro! Hope it was worth it.

VioletEyedDragonon July 14, 2011 at 6:04 p.m.
lol 
but a little un-sportsmanlike
Chadsteron July 14, 2011 at 6:19 p.m.
I agree with Amy Poehler. Nick Offerman and his mustache deserve all of the awards. Also that Sons of Anarchy guy is acting like a dick. Not funny, just annoying.
Everyones_A_Criticon July 14, 2011 at 6:30 p.m.

I fucking love these tweets, almost as much as I love when celebrities are actually honest. SOA did, in this guy's humble opinion, deserve at least a nomination. Katey Segal is damn good on that show.

AuthenticMon July 14, 2011 at 6:31 p.m.

The guy has every right to be pissed. Those awards are a joke. That's the same bullshit as Daft Punk not being nominated for their Tron soundtrack. Everything Sutter said about the academy members being old is true. We need fresh, new and young blood in there. Pronto.

MisterMouseon July 14, 2011 at 6:40 p.m.
After all of that I will only say one thing... 
I agree Nick Offerman should have gotten a nomination... haha
wsowen02on July 14, 2011 at 7 p.m.

fuck glee. hate those annoying, "please accept me for who i am", singing brats. there, i said it. are you happy?  

 
I have to agree with this one

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
