The Boys season 3 has really taken the show to another level. Helmed by Eric Kripke, the season really bested itself with each episode that came out. It has received rave reviews and a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score. The actors have also been appreciated for their performance, but the one that stands out the most is that of Antony Starr as Homelander. The megalomaniac Superhero is so well portrayed by the actor that you can’t help but love to hate him. Many would agree that he deserves an Emmy for the same. But it turns out the show is not eligible for the awards.

The Boys season 3 is not eligible for Emmy 2022
The Boys is a satirical take on superheroes, to show how superheroes can be corrupted by their fame and power. The Amazon Prime series is not eligible for nominations in the 74th Emmy Awards. This is because this Emmy Awards is for shows that aired between June 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022. And every The Boys fan knows that the show misses this margin as it came out on June 3, 2022. That is why the show will not be receiving any Emmys this time.

The fans will have to wait for the 75th Emmy Awards to see their show win the much-deserved awards in the considered categories and hopefully even one for our Homelander actor, Antony Starr. It wouldn’t be a surprise for anyone when the actor is nominated for his role as he has done an outstanding job. But for that, we will have to wait for the next Emmys.
Internet apologizes to Antony Starr
After finding out that the show is not eligible for nominations this year and will have to wait patiently for the next Emmy Awards to receive its much-deserved awards, fans were devasted. They especially were disheartened when fans that Antony Starr will not be getting an award this year for his performance as the anti-superman, Homelander. They took Twitter to express their disappointment and even apologize to the actor.
