Sons of Anarchy producers and cast tease the show’s ending

Sons of Anarchy is the highest-rated TV show in FX's history, but leading into its seventh and final season, the motorcycle gang drama has never been nominated for an Outstanding Drama Emmy.

That’s been a point of contention over the years with creator Kurt Sutter. Try as he might to avoid it, Sutter was somewhat sucked in to calling out the TV Academy once more on Monday.

But first, his colleagues weighed in on the subject when prompted by a journalist at the FX Television Critics Association panel. “If you don’t get into Sons of Anarchy, you can’t get into it,” executive producer Paris Barclay offered. “I think the package of Sons of Anarchy isn’t the package that appeals to most Emmy voters. They just don’t watch the show. I really don’t think they do.”

Sons star Charlie Hunnam took it a step further. “Lest we not forget: It doesn’t matter, like at all,” Hunnam said. “There’s this perception as though we’re kind of upset about this. I really don’t give a s**t. I make this for the people who watch the show.”

Finally, Sutter joined in, sharing his internal reaction when he wasn’t nominated yet again: A simple, “F**k them” towards the voting body. Sutter joked that he was so miffed at the perceived snub that he didn’t even realise his friend and co-worker Barclay was nominated for directing an episode of Glee.
