Julia Garner on "Ozark."Netflix
The 72nd Primetime Emmys aired on Sunday night, and several people took home awards who shouldn't have.
Julia Garner received the Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama series, despite winning in the same category the previous year.
And the brilliant men of "Succession" were snubbed in the corresponding male category, with Billy Crudup taking home the award for best supporting actor in a drama.
Also overlooked were Paul Mescal of "Normal People," and Yvonne Orji and Issa Rae from "Insecure."
The 72nd Primetime Emmys aired on Sunday night, and several stars took home awards that they didn't deserve.
Julia Garner won for best supporting actress in a drama series, for the second year in a row. And while Garner's performance in "Ozark" was definitely memorable, Sarah Snook's portrayal of Shiv Roy on "Succession" was far more deserving of an Emmy.
Despite Snook's costars Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew Macfadyen all giving equally stellar performances, Billy Crudup ended up taking home the Emmy (for best supporting actor in a drama) for his role on "The Morning Show."
And shows like "Normal People" and "Insecure" were also snubbed at Sunday's ceremony.
Here are the people who didn't deserve their Emmys — and the stars who should have won instead.

HBO's "Insecure" was also snubbed in some major categories.
