There will be new contenders but certainly not to the extent of 2017, even if I have 4 shows getting their first Drama series nominations this year lol. Squid Game is the only new show that’s on the same level as the 2017 five and I don’t think we are getting more than a couple overall by the end of this season that can match that strength.

I agree with that. I believe that nine of the first season show acting nominees went on to be nominated multiple times, and I’m not sure there are too many contenders this year who seem that sticky. (Lee Jung-Jae might be an exception here).
Just a quick question for those in the US but when Killing Eve aired in the past was it simultaneously available to stream on Hulu? Because I noticed that these two new episodes aren’t on there so I wonder if that might explain the buzz being a bit muted.
FYC:
"The Good Fight", "The Other Two" and "Station Eleven" in all categories, Sarah Lancashire ("Julia"), William Jackson Harper ("Love Life") and Luke Kirby ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel")

It’s never been available to watch the next day.

I actually think it props television up a little bit, they aren’t much different from movies these days.
Big fan of Better Call Saul, Sex Education, Barry, BoJack Horseman, and, especially, Survivor
Ultimately I just find it irritating when performers try to elevate the shows they’re working on as having a “film quality” because it just implies that film is a superior medium to television which is not only a somewhat degrading view of other pieces of television but it’s also just a notion that I find inaccurate. The film medium couldn’t sustain characters like Don Draper, Walter White, Michael Scott, Leslie Knope, Moira Rose and Alicia Florrick with the same richness television’s unique episodic form provides.

I agree with wolfali. The intention and implication is clear. It’s not saying tv is as good as movies these days. It’s saying our content is superior because it isn’t tv. Like what happened with Small Axe or Twin Peaks, usually something auteur driven, you will see many film critics and film fans claim any tv show that appeals to them as a movie because their views of what television is and can be is still very much 20th century. Imagine calling LOTR or The Godfather a three-part limited series. That’s idiotic. I’m sure that stupidity will spill over to continuing shows soon when people start claiming The Sopranos or The Wire as ‘films’. That is already seen on some level with the original Twin Peaks. At least the smart people in the industry know what the real deal is.
Personally, I think TV has far surpassed film in terms of quality. Just look at the roles this year’s Oscar nominees are nominated for vs. some of the roles last year’s Emmy nominees were nominated for. We wouldn’t get a Mare Sheehan, June Osborne, Beth Harmon, Arabella Essiedu, etc. in a film. There is something very powerful about watching someone’s story unfold over multiple episodes, because the story actually gets to breathe and subtext isn’t just alluded to but actually explored (at least more frequently), if that makes sense. (I don’t think subtext even needs to be spelled out, but it does create for a different viewing experience when it is a bit more explored.)

Yes,the Limited Lead Actress lineup of last year far surpasses any other Oscar acting lineup. I mean Mare,Beth, Wanda, Arabella and Aretha. And that’s discounting the fact that Thuso Mbedu was snubbed.

I have a suspicion this was born out of Cannes going off script and giving Lynch and Campion TV berths a few years back and having to justify/placate people.
That said at this point…someone tell the publicists and marketing people it sounds like nonsense
Wanda Maximoff was basically just a fighting tool on the MCU movies, then came WandaVision and she was now a compelling character, with an actual story who allowed her to feel, to be developed, something that wouldn’t NEVER happen on the film side of the MCU, besides that, Olsen finally was able to show her talents, which were being somehow wasted on the movies.
If this isn’t prove that TV is better i don’t know what is.

"Succession" and "Severance" in all Drama categories;
"Ted Lasso" and "The Great" in all Comedy categories;

Olsen finally was able to show her talents, which were being somehow wasted on the movies.
Ironically, because she’s filming 11 minutes of other MCU projects for 6 months a year.
