Waw, I am number 7 at the prediction center, I cannot believe it. It was a dream of mine to be on top 10 for the Emmys, it might sound dumb and superficial for many of you, but those are the only awards I have this kind of passion for, I am incredibly happy and proud. Thank you all for putting up with me 😀 And congrats to Eden for being number 4!!!

Snook is likeable but I was actually surprised she got nominated.

She did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to Garner

Sorry what?

Succession winning Series, Lead Actor, Writing and Directing is literally a dream and Julia Garner repeating is iconic I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love her and Ruth.

I hope we can now stop pretending that the number acting noms has anything to do with how many you win. I said from the beginning that Succession wasn’t going to sweep the acting races.

Crudup was such an obvious win. The mental gymnastics some of you had those past few weeks to not predict him.

Different competition. Garner acts circles around Snook, and with Aduba and Smart is a little more complicated, but to be honest, both had just one good episode.

Disagree about Snook and Garner, tbh I was much more impressed with how Snook stepped up for her bigger role than how Garner’s performance continued to shine in a smaller one. To be fair Snook had much better material in this season than her previous while Garner had the opposite situation. Both delivered, but Snook just had the better season to really show her strengths in the role.

Also, I loved Jean Smart to death but Uzo Aduba absolutely deserved that award. Mrs. America was full of amazing supporting actresses but she stood out with the best performance in the best episode of the season. “She Was Killed By Space Junk” is a great submission, but “Shirley” gave Aduba the ability to display so much raw, heartbreaking emotion that she stole the season for me right then despite how small her role wound up being.

If I were Julia Garner I would ask for an immediate raise. She is keeping Ozark and Netflix alive.

Totally, she and Billy Crudup as well. Crudup was a fan favorite and a critical darling even in the first 4 episodes that were panned by critics, the passion for him remained and took him here.

Also, if Olivia Colman doesn’t bring it next season, she isn’t winning for this role. HBC is probably done seeing as though she’ll face competition on top of everything else.

Ruth Langmore is already a legendary character, isn’t she?

I barely ever post on these forums, but I just want to say that I’m so happy for Zendaya. For thr longest time she was being typecast in teen/young adult romantic roles because of her Disney Channel background, but I always knew she was much more capable as an actress than people were giving her credit for, and she’s proved that without a shadow of a doubt tonight after her (I can only assume) massive upset. Here’s to a long career for her!

Also, is this the first time a former Disney Channel actress has won a major industry award? Cause I’m pretty sure it is.

Speaking of class acts, BLESS Fiona Shaw for that reaction. What a gracious, classy, kind person.
