Stephen Amell took to Facebook to air his thoughts on the Emmy Awards 2013, particularly its “Stunt Coordination” category. The ‘Oliver Queen’ actor on The CW’s “Arrow” says he finds himself unable to take the Emmys seriously after it snubbed his show’s stunts.
James Bamford, the fight coordinator working on “Arrow” has delivered some impressive action-packed scenes in the superhero series. Stephen Amell leads the show’s cast as “The Hood” aka Green Arrow in the DC
Comics universe. (See some of Arrow’s fandom postings on Tumblr in the slideshow.)

2013 – Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Miniseries or Movie: Blue Bloods (CBS, Secrets & Lies); NCIS (CBS, Revenge); Revolution (NBC, Nobody’s Fault But Mine); and Southland (TNT, Bleed Out).
“Been meaning to mention this for awhile… Arrow not being nominated for an Emmy in Stunt Coordination makes it difficult for me to take that awards ceremony seriously on any level whatsoever.“
The actor adds he’s glad to have taken the sentiment off his chest, thanks to Facebook.
