Both This Is Us, and Mandy Moore received significant snubs from the Emmy committee for the final installment of the NBC family drama. Neither Moore nor any of her fellow actors were nominated for their work on the sixth season of the television series. Also snubbed were the show’s writers for a series of 18 episodes that wrapped up the Pearson family story.

The NBC family drama has long been an Emmy voter favorite.
However, the series’ final season didn’t garner one single nomination.
Moore, who fans believed would take home a trophy for the role of Rebecca as the character battled Alzheimer’s Disease throughout the season, didn’t score a nod in the category of Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Sterling K. Brown, who played Randall on This Is Us, was previously nominated four times and scored one win for his work on the NBC series in the category of Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series. He too was shut out from the pool of this year’s nominees.
‘This Is Us Showrunner Dan Fogelman reacts to the news
The Emmy noms didn't break for #ThisIsUs today – if you're happy when they go your way, you've got to take it on the chin when they don't. That entire group wins a "Danny" in my book. And so proud that my college roomie @SiddKhoslaMusic will be repping us with Taylor!
