## Caption

#TheWire, despite its status as one of the most critically esteemed series of the 21st century, was famously barely ever even considered at the Emmy Awards. Over its five seasons, the HBO drama received just two nominations (both for writing), neither of which resulted in a win.⁠
⁠
So notorious is the Television Academy’s ignoring of 'The Wire' that academy president and CEO Maury McIntyre brought it up unprompted in an interview with THR about the creation of the Legacy Award. The newly announced honor is a special Emmy that, starting this year, will be given annually to series that have made “a profound and lasting impact” on the medium and that remain relevant to the industry and the wider culture.⁠
