Best New Media Television Series

Stranger Things – it’s going to win anyway

Best Actress on Television

Lena Headey “Game of Thrones” – she needs all the help/encouragement she can get. She has lost three Emmys in a row.

Best Supporting Actor on Television

Kit Harington “Game of Thrones” – The other two performances were pretty placid in comparison

Best Supporting Actress on Television

Thandie Newton “Westworld” – she stole the show

I LOVE your out-of-the-box choices! I’m also voting for Margot Robbie, Suicide Squad for Makeup, and Hidden Figures! I’m seeing Passengers either tomorrow or the day after that. Tell you what, if I vote for Rogue One for Best Science Fiction Film, will you join me in doing so? 2 votes are stronger than 1! Also, the extended edition of BvS isn’t what’s on the ballot, and so that is NOT what you are voting for. Just FYI.

Why no love for Captain America: Civil War? Also, why did you pick 10 Cloverfield Lane for Best Thriller yet not vote for EITHER Mary Elizabeth Winstead or the Oscar-snubbed John Goodman. Those 2 have my votes locked down, but I’m still debating between 10 Cloverfield, Split, and Hell or High Water for Best Thriller. Why 10 Cloverfield over those other 2?

I know the extended cut of BvS isn’t up, but if it were, it would win, IMO. Deadpool was better as 4-quadrant entertainment, and had a shoulda-been-nommed-for-an-Oscar performance by Reynolds. He was astoundingly great, breaking the 4th wall and was the primary reason why Deadpool was an epic financial success. Lawrence was Lawrence, which is to say, she slayed in Passengers. She’s the class of the Saturn field, IMO. And re: Passengers, damn the haters. Go in with a clear mind and you’ll be entertained beyond words. I think the Cloverfield brand was done right by this unofficial sequel.
