Today
Daily Billboard is wrapping up its 2018
Emmy nominations coverage with the
'best of the rest' nominees, including billboard offerings from
Amazon Prime, Comedy Central, TNT, TBS, Lifetime and more.
One program which deserves an award for its
Emmy campaigning this season has to be
Amazon Prime's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, starring the
Emmy-nominated
Rachel Brosnahan as a late 1950s
New York City Upper West Side housewife who takes to the wildly different stand-up stage of the
Lower East Side when her husband cheats on her.
Following the
#MeToo scandal surrounding
Jeffrey Tambour, the star of
Amazon's previous
Emmy darling
Transparent, the streaming platform switched all its focus to its freshman hit period comedy with a funny heavyweight
Emmy consideration ad campaign that dominated the
L.A. city skyline in hot pink.
Those humorous
FYC billboards helped the series earn fourteen
Emmy nominations, including for
Outstanding Comedy Series and a nod for its titular star, plus for
Alex Borstein as her stand-up agent and
Tony Shalhoub as her father.
This smattering of
Emmy nominee billboards were photographed along the
Sunset Strip, LA Brea Avenue, Beverly Glen Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Olympic Boulevard and
La Cienega Boulevard from July 19 to August 13, 2018.
With
Veep and
Julia Louis-Dreyfus absent from the comedy categories this year due to her cancer scare, let's see just how many trophies
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel can snatch this awards season (to add to her two
Golden Globe wins)
Meanwhile also in the world of comedy, the fifth season of
Drunk History was being recognised with two
Emmy nominations for its inebriated storytelling.
This illustrated
Emmy nominee billboard for the
Comedy Central sketch series was snapped along the Sunset Strip on August 21, 2018.
Sticking on the same channel and in the world of late-night variety talk shows,
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah received three
Emmy nominations for its satirical commentary on
U.S. politics and world events.
These billboards featuring the
Emmy-nominated
South African comic and host were spied along the
Sunset Strip and
Fairfax Avenue from August 14 to August 22, 2018.
Also in the late-night category, the only female nominee scored seven feckless
Emmy nominations this year for
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
It's been an eventful year for the satirical host and the show's seven nominations include four for the regular weekly show and three for
The Great American* Puerto Rico (*It's Complicated) special episode.
Let's see if these
Emmy nominee billboards, spotted along the
Sunset Strip, Olympic Boulevard and
La Cienega Boulevard from August 2 to August 19, 2018, can help this queen of late-night comedy reign supreme this awards season. She's earned it.
Speaking of funny ladies, and
Amy Sedaris was being recognised for the
'deranged' debut season of her new kooky
TruTV sketch show.
These
Emmy nominee billboards showing off her quirky homemaking skills were photographed above
La Brea Avenue and
Westwood Boulevard from August 15 to August 18, 2018.
TNT campaigned hard for its period murder thriller,
The Alienist, adapted from the 1994 novel by
Caleb Carr and was rewarded with six
Emmy nominations (a sequel to this limited series,
Angel of Darkness, has already been greenlit too).
The ten-episode mini-series starred
Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans and
Dakota Fanning as an ad hoc band of sleuths trying to solve the serial killings of street children in mid-1890s
New York City.
This giant-sized
Emmy nominee billboard was photographed along the
Sunset Strip on August 14 and the smaller ad was spotted above
La Cienega Boulevard on August 19, 2018.
Last year's
Emmy winner,
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, was back for another season of making trouble for the pseudo
Hollywood religion by talking to other former
Scientologists in her
A&E docu-series.
It's true that
'The truth always wins', so let's see if she'll be rewarded for exposing the secrets of this powerful cult with the help of these billboards snapped along
Santa Monica Boulevard at the
405 freeway entrance on August 1, 2018, then along the
Sunset Strip the next day.
Meanwhile another of
A&E's reality shows,
Born This Way, was nominated for the third season of the documentary series about seven young adults with
Down Syndrome and their daily lives.
With thirteen nominations and three
Emmy wins to date, can the show take home more accolades this season with the help of this tongue-in-cheek billboard first spotted above
Sunset Plaza on July 31, 2018.
And finally for this collection,
Lifetime's TV movie about the
Flint, Michigan water crisis received an
Emmy nomination, continuing to keep this contaminated water travesty in the public eye when officials and the government refuse to act quickly to resolve the situation affecting thousands.
This clever
Emmy Award nominee billboard with a sample bottle of contaminated water was spied along
San Vicente Boulevard on August 4, 2018.
If you've missed any of the week-long coverage be sure to check out these
Netflix 2018 Emmy nominee billboards, these cohesive

NBC and Hulu billboards and these

Primetime Emmy Awards.
