The Emmy nominations are closing soon. It's time to shine a light on some amazing shows and actors that might get overlooked. With so many shows out there, it's tough to pick the best. But that's also a chance to discover new talents and stories.

Uzo Aduba from "The Residence" on Netflix is a must-watch. She plays a sharp detective who solves a mystery in the White House. Her character is smart and witty, making her a standout in a sea of great comedies.

Vincent D'Onofrio from "Daredevil: Born Again" on Disney+ is another gem. He plays a crime boss turned mayor, and his performance is intense and captivating. It's a shame that genre shows often get overlooked, but D'Onofrio's acting is too good to ignore.

Matthew Goode from "Dept. Q" on Netflix is also worth mentioning. He plays a damaged detective solving a tough case. Goode's performance is powerful and holds the series together. It's a shame Emmy voters often overlook such roles.

"Have I Got News for You" on CNN is a fun talk show that makes sense of chaotic times. Hosted by Roy Wood Jr. , it's a great way to laugh through tough news. "Hot Ones" on YouTube is another innovative talk show where celebrities answer questions while eating hot wings. It's silly but brilliant, and it deserves recognition.

"Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist" on Peacock is a fantastic limited series based on a real event. It features big stars like Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Hart. The story is engaging and touches on important historical moments.

"Mo" on Netflix is a relevant and funny show about a Palestinian refugee trying to get asylum in America. It's heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time. Mohammed Amer's performance is amazing, making a complex issue feel personal and real.
