Even though The Muppets has been cancelled, it doesn't mean that it can't get some Emmy love. I looked at the Emmy ballots and found that several people and episodes have been inserted for consideration, I'm not sure if I found them all, but here's the link and the nominations I found are below.

Wow that's kind of nice! Hopefully a few of the puppeteers get nominated and even win! That would be cool if the show won an Emmy though! :stick_out_tongue:
I'm not keeping my hopes up, but it's possible it could get nominated for something smaller like cinematography, but you never know maybe they will win, the puppeteers really deserve it, and remember The Muppets are no stranger to the Emmys, The Muppet Show won 4 Emmys and got nominated 21 times. But I do think the show would have a better chance if ABC had renewed it.

Remember this is for consideration. This means literally nothing beyond that being a guarantee.

Best comedy is going to go to something dramatic on cable or netflix that barely qualifies as comedy.

Oh ya, there's no chance it wins best comedy, I think it's possible though it gets a nomination in something small like cinematography.

I much as I would LOVE to see one of the performers win, it's an extremely long shot that they'll even get past this stage.
