Ironically, if Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon both compete in the lead race at the Emmys, they’ll face the same awards pickle that Joan Crawford and Bette Davis did at the Oscars for “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” Bette famously got nommed, but Joan didn’t.

Ryan Murphy is too invested in making Jessica Lange happy and somehow remaking Mommie Dearest through Crawford’s feud with Bette Davis.

It would be ridiculous to have Sarandon compete in Supporting. She’s as much a lead as Lange.

Sarandon gives a more coherent performance than Lange. Please don’t hate me!

I wasn’t a fan of how Sarandon acted during the election, but I’d vote for her over Lange here. I just feel like I’m watching Jessica Lange every episode, not Joan Crawford.

The thrust of the episodes are from Crawford’s perspective. She hogs episode screen time.

Like i’ve said before, Feud: Bette and Joan is more Feud: Joan feat. Bette, which is disappointing because it could’ve been 10x better than it turned out.

It really could go either way, but if they both went lead, there would definitely be vote-splitting. I personally liked Susan Sarandon’s performance more than Lange though. And no, that’s not me ‘hating’ (she was A+ in seasons 1-3 of AHS), I’ve just had such a hard time picturing her as Joan Crawford.

Jessica was incredible in Feud. And would be deserving of the win.

That’s all

It wouldn’t make a shred of sense placing Sarandon and Davis in the same category.

I don’t think it’s fair that Sarandon gets so little to do compared to Lange. The show is called Bette and Joan not Joan. It’s not like Bette Davis was a dull wallflower.
