Lee Daniels Pops Off At The Television Academy Over Emmy's Snubbing 'Empire' "F- These Motherf-ers"

Lee Daniels is not happy with the television academy for their blatant snub to Empire who didn’t land any Emmy nominations. Suprisingly it wasn’t amongst the nominees in the Outstanding Drama series category for the Primetime EMMY’s.

The show didn’t get completely snubbed as its leading lady Taraji P. Henson landed a nomination in the Outstanding LeadActress in a Drama Series nod and his series costume designers Paolo Nieddu, Eileen McCahill, Rita D. McGhee andSukari McGill landed noms in the Outstanding Costumes for a Contemporary Series.

Even still, Lee is not happy with snub to the show itself, and let his feelings be known in his instagram post below.
