Despite the competition, The Penguin's presence at the Emmys is almost guaranteed because it carries the weight of HBO’s brand, solid viewership, and a star like Colin Farrell.
The question isn't merely if HBO will campaign The Penguin for the Emmys, but whether the Emmy voters will view it favorably, considering its comic-book origins.
While The Penguin attempts to redefine itself from a comic-book story to a grounded crime drama, its whimsical name and visual presentation may challenge its perception among voters.
The shift in Emmy voting trends towards genre shows opens the door for The Penguin, paralleling recognition received by acclaimed series in fantasy and Sci-Fi categories, setting the stage for its potential success.
