The Emmys were once recognized as one of the highest forms of achievement that any actor or project can earn. However, the title has grown the notoriety of snubbing the deserved winners of a particular category. One such instance occurred recently:Blue Eye Samuraiwon the Best Animated Program over the flawlessX-Men ’97that had taken the world by storm.
Blue Eye Samuraiis the dark sheep of Netflix, as the show had little to no hype but it was its gripping narrative and striking animation that resulted in the title being so popular. However, it was not good enough when its contender wasX-Men ’97,which was a near-perfect show, where the 10 episodes featured the narrative of our favorite mutant team.
Hence, fans of animated titles wonder if they should allow this modern show to prove that its artistic merit pleased the panel and made it a winner over a nostalgic show.
WasBlue Eye Samuraithe Deserved Winner OverX-Men ’97?
Last evening, the first night of the Creative Arts Emmys took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, where awards were given to different programs. One major award that was handed out was for Best Animated Program, which gained a ton of negative attention for its winner.
The panel and fans were surprised whenMichael Green’sBlueEye Samuraiwon over a list of nominees that includedX-Men ’97, Scavengers Reign, The Simpsons, and Bobs Burgers. This resulted in a massive outrage on social media because the Marvel show was considered to be a clear winner for featuring 10 episodes that had one of the highest ratings on IMDb.

The overall rating of the remastered, flawless show is8.8/10 on the platform, while the winner has a rating of8.7/10 on IMDb. The results are indeed shocking because the mutant show retells the story with enhanced animation while respecting the sentiments of the original show, which was a clear winner.
Moreover, the ability to deliver consistently at the highest level that follows an unworldly hype clearly makes it the deserved winner over the current one. But what followed that made the panels choose the Netflix original over Marvel’s animated brilliance? Well,Blue Eye Samuraiis one of the most popular shows of 2023, which far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Though little to no hype followed the project’s announcement, it took the critics and the viewers by surprise. With only eight episodes in the first season of the title, it was enough to make its audience content with the storyline that is set in Feudal Japan.
While the storyline and the characters of the show were minutely detailed, it was a flawless animation that captured the beauty of the plot, teleporting its viewers into a surreal world that is too good to be true.
