I very much doubt Schitt’s Creek becomes the first show in the history of the Critics Choice television awards history to win all four acting categories when Ramy Youssef is right there and when they didn’t even give all four acting categories to seasons of shows they stanned more like the second season of Fargo (which they gave wins to in three out of four of the acting categories they were nominated for).

I had a hard time deciding between Eugene and Ramy. But I feel Eugene may have more leeway since it’s Schitt’s Creek last season. But I very well could be wrong.

Yep, easy to forget since everything not named Watchmen underperformed at the Emmys, itself being more industry friendly than GP friendly and the constant pieces from the real life people involved about it’s inaccuracy.

I’m not a Better Call Saul stan but is anything other than it really going to win Drama here? It feels like a coronation to me.

I mean I guess if the next season of The Crown is good then that maybe? I don’t know with critics it feels like Better Call Saul is unstoppable unless a show is coming off an Emmy sweep or there is a newer or cooler show that critics like.

I agree, especially when you consider how well it did at the TCA Awards.
