Bronson Pinchot Chosen As One Of The Oddest Emmy Nominees of All Time!?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In 1987, a strange wardrobe, stranger accent, and assortment of catchphrases were apparently enough to snag an Emmy nomination. Balki Bartokomous was certainly one of the more, uh, memorable characters of the ’80s, but it is sort of incredible to see that Pinchot was considered at the top of the comedy field when viewing the talent pool that was his competition: Bob Newhart, Ted Danson, Harry Anderson and winner Michael J. Fox. We only wish Pinchot had won so that he could have performed the dance of joy at the podium.

Well, the award he was nominated for Best Actor in a COMEDY - and Mr. Pinchot did a great job playing this unusual, hilarious character. You could also make a case that Mark Linn-Baker deserved an Emmy nomination as well - he was also hilarious in his own way.

I agree. I see no reason why he shouldn't have been nominated. He should have been nominated more times.

Not sure what they mean by odd, because these days there are a lot of odd people nominated for Emmy's.
