"How do you feel going in? Edgerton asked Maher. To me and maybe it's because I've always set my ceiling quite low in life like, being nominated to me is a win. Sweetheart, I've been nominated for 33 Emmys, and they would never give it to me. That's not a gag number. That's a real number. It's crazy, Maher said. Maher chalked it up to everything I said."
"The Real Time host has earned backlash from the left in recent years for everything from his dinner with President Donald Trump to his criticism of Islam to his distaste for anything woke. The comedian has been nominated dozens of times for Emmy Awards, but never won for his shows Real Time or Politically Incorrect. He did win an Emmy as an executive producer on a HBO's Vice series in 2014."
Bill Maher reported decades of Emmy nominations without wins and attributed the lack of awards to Hollywood backlash over his outspoken views. Maher has received 42 Emmy nominations since 1995 and previously won an Emmy as an executive producer on HBO's Vice in 2014. Maher earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy for Is Anyone Else Seeing This? and lost to Ricky Gervais. Actor Joel Edgerton was a Golden Globe nominee for Train Dreams. Maher characterized Hollywood as hostile to free speech and 'woke' culture and attended the Golden Globes where comedian Wanda Sykes insulted him from the stage.
