Last year,Star Trek: Picardseason 3 was only nominated for two technical Emmy Awards for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic) and Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup,
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' musical, “Subspace Rhapsody”, deserves a Best Writing for a Drama Series nod to honor what an incredible achievement it was, while Dermot Downs, Valerie Weiss, and Olatunde Osunsanmi deserve Emmy recognition for directingStar Trek: Strange New Worlds'“Subspace Rhapsody”, “Ad Astra Per Aspera”, andStar Trek: Discovery’s “Red Directive”, respectively.Star Trek: Lower Decksalso should get Best Animated Program Emmy love, with Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid especially worthy of Best Character Voice-Over Performance.
