‘Sons of Anarchy’ creator Kurt Sutter jokingly slams Television Academy over Emmy snubs

Critics and fans alike have slammed the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its oversight of FX’s Sons of Anarchy in the major categories for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

But perhaps no one was more vocal about the Emmy snubs than series creator Kurt Sutter, who took to his Twitter feed to take out his apparent frustration.

“Best part of not getting an Emmy nod, now I don’t have to pretend I give a s--- about the profiteering douchebag academy,” he wrote. “Because you know if we were nominated, I’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their a----. Now I can stay true to myself and just be a d---.”

Sutter proceeded to post a series of profanity-laced tweets mocking Emmy voters before taking aim at FOX’s Glee, which earned six nods from the academy.

“F--- Glee,” he tweeted. “Hate those annoying ‘please accept me for who I am’ singing brats. There, I said it. Are you happy?”

Upon realizing that his honesty was generating publicity, Sutter clarified that his tweets were meant to be jokes and condemned the media for interpreting his messages so seriously.

“I love [Glee creator] Ryan Murphy,” he added. “He’s always very cool with me. Love Glee too. Just tired of all the [praise] piling up at its feet. I don’t give a f--- about the academy, but I don’t wanna insult Ryan or the cast. It’s not my cup of meat, but Glee is a groovy little show.”
