User blog comment:The Hoods/The Flash Gets an Emmy nomination (great) Arrow gets none (bad)/@comment-5544928-20150719192514

This isn't the first time comic book shows have gotten recognition. None of them (with the exception of 'Gotham' I believe) were nominated for the writing, directing, or acting awards, they are all the makeup, special effects, and stunt coordinating categories. Smallville was nominated plenty of times for these categories, and if I'm not mistaken, they won a couple of them.
