I’m on the fence about repeats, while I do agree some might be repeat worthy (Julianna Margulies S5), i also think that it’s good seeing new faces and give new people a chance every year.
FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!
Just put Mj Rodriguez as first in my predictions for her to win Drama Actress. I know I’m most definitely hopedicting and that it’s probably wiser to predict Corrin (what with her clean sweep of the winter awards and the fact she’s in the definite Drama Series winner). But I just can’t shake this feeling that Mj will pull this off and win. And admittedly, my biases are too strong for me to fight off because I want so badly to see a trans actor (especially a trans actor of color) win an acting category. It would mean the world to me, personally.
Samira Wiley finished 13th in the Gold Derby awards voting this year? Wow there must be people who are still be pressed at her nomination last year lol because she was phenomenal in “Vows”.
I was about to cry a few times during this episode 😭😢.

Samira has never been better on the show than she was in “Vows.” Period.
I finished season four of the handmaid’s tale today and I was not ready for what lizzy served! Especially in “home”, “testimony” and “the wilderness”. I’m happy she did the right choice submitting “home”, that scene showcases what is it in my opinion of course a dreamgoal of what an actor can accomplish in your career.
With how much word of mouth there’s been about Moss’ performance in “Home” being one of her best to date I have so much anticipation that I’m actually scared of what she’s going to do in that episode. There’s been a bit of a heatwave over here but her performance in “Vows” gave me frostbite!

Oh, wow, I’m so behind! I’m in the middle of The Handmaid’s Tale season 2, as part of my binging, and Elisabeth Moss has yet to give a bad performance and with the raves she’s getting later in the show (specifically season 4, as it just aired), I don’t think she’ll ever be giving a bad performance. And the rest of the cast is great, too (particularly Samira Wiley for me)! I’m excited to get to season 4 and see how great Moss is in her Emmy submission tape.

Literally in the middle of season 2 as well! Can’t wait to catch up

You’re in for a treat!
My unpopular opinion when it comes to Handmaid’s would be that season 2 > season 1. Both are great but I found the show’s exploration of its supporting characters (especially Mrs Waterford who otherwise is a character I kind of despise) and the world beyond what Atwood had written to be quite fascinating. Moss, the show and Strahovski weren’t my first choices for the win that year (I don’t want to say what they were in those categories because that would be stating the obvious) but they would have been quite deserving winners for season 2.

Praise be. 😊 And yes, that scene is otherworldly. So, so, so good.

I agree, thank you for sharing! I think the world-building and character development here is so wonderful and while I’d have to finish season 2 to get a fuller opinion, I think with what I’ve seen so far, I’m on the road to favoring season 2 over season 1, as well (which is saying a lot because I really liked season 1!)

I think you’re not wrong about this. Zendaya’s win last year is making me consider Mj Rodriguez as the possible frontrunner. Getting the nomination was the hurdle for her and now she made it. There’s now a clearer path for her to win.

This is a weird one but could John Lithgow upset in drama supporting actor? Whitford could grab some votes away from Fagbenle, Williams might be hurt by potential apathy for Lovecraft Country and whilst I do think he can win (especially if Dance wins in guest actor), Menzies feels the weakest of The Crown bunch.
I wonder if Lithgow is so respected by his peers that like Uzo Aduba or Regina King, voters just follow him almost anywhere even if his project tends to be quite buzzless.

Everyone catching up with THT and seeing the greatness that is season 4 and particularly Elisabeth Moss’ performance is absolutely delicious. Praise be.
Honestly I know it’s a weaker field and all but I have to say 6 episodes in to this season of The Handmaid’s Tale and I actually might like this year’s supporting actress line-up as much as last year’s. Anderson, HBC, Brewer and Wiley all give win worthy performances IMO and Dowd, Ellis and Fennell are great nominees (although Dowd and Fennell feel more like guest performances this season). Tbh I’ll even defend Yvonne’s nomination because I stan the woman so much and she was robbed last year.
