Yeah… sorry Michaela. You’ll be getting your writing trophy but that’s it.
ReplyMarch 7, 2021 at 4:39 pm #1204091313Can someone explain why is In Treatment in Drama? I haven’t watched it and thought it was an anthology series.. Btw does Aduba need to make some more room?
The storytelling reasons everyone said above, and the fact that HBO already has a lot of things to push in Limited and much fewer in Drama.

When Laverne Cox ends up winning for Promising Young Woman…
ReplyMarch 7, 2021 at 4:15 pm #1204091132Y’all are still gonna keep saying Glenn is winning the Oscar, huh?
March 7, 2021 at 3:41 pm #1204090952With a tie or even Coel winning outright, I think it puts them about neck-in-neck. I’ll still be predicting Anya, but I’ll be a lot less sure about it.
But that’s assuming Anya also takes SAG. If Coel manages an upset there, which seems unlikely but not impossible, then I’ll probably put Coel at number one.
ReplyMarch 7, 2021 at 3:20 pm #1204090886Lead Actress is killing me. Coel/Erivo/Garner/Mbedu/Olsen/Taylor-Joy seem like an incredibly strong lineup that I have no clue who to take out. Honestly now hoping Inventing Anna misses eligibility because that makes the process much easier.
Oh and I think if Taylor-Joy beats Coel tonight, the Emmy is hers. If Coel is going to win anywhere, it’s at Critics Choice, so if she loses I don’t think it shows that she doesn’t have support, but rather that the drive for Taylor-Joy is just too strong.

I know I’m predicting a LOT of Lovecraft Country, but I really have a weird feeling that the Emmys are going to be much more excited about it than everyone else. I know the stats, I know the WGA performance, but surprises happen and I think this’ll be one. It may not be performing WELL, but the fact that it has shown up everywhere means that it does have support. I see the Pose comparisons, but Pose got zero SAG nominations and Lovecraft Country has over double its first-season CC nods.
Ventimiglia probably won’t be dropping to supporting, but I want to predict something a little spicier than Menzies so whatever.

Do we know if we’ll get enough submissions to hit eight in supporting?

***Ted LassoMarch 6, 2021 at 5:24 pm #1204088794It’s strange, because with May Destroy You as their big contender, they don’t really have much going on this spring. There’s a chance that The White Lotus or Scenes from a Marriage end up slipping into eligibility. The former feels more likely than the latter just because I think they won’t want Coel and Chastain to go up against each other.
ReplyMarch 6, 2021 at 4:29 pm #1204088715Forgot that The Plot Against America got nominations here! Glad that it got some sort of recognition this season.
ReplyMarch 6, 2021 at 3:12 pm #1204088598Been absolutely BLOWING my way through Ted Lasso these past few days and really enjoying it! With how dark and gloomy so much TV is, even in comedy, this is a great breath of fresh air. I love that this and Schitt’s Creek will probably be dominating in succession, because they’re both so warm and positive in such a lovely way.
Sudeikis, Waddingham, and Temple are definitely the highlights, and I think they’ll all surely be nominated. Temple is my personal favorite, but I’ll be thrilled to see Waddhingham win. I agree that none of the supporting actors really stand out. Even though Hunt is a creator, I don’t think he’ll make it because while he’s had some fun moments, he’s just the least memorable. If any of them are making the list, it’ll probably be Nick Mohammed, with Brett Goldstein as a second. If I had to pick, though, I’d choose Toheeb Jimoh. Even though supporting actor is fairly empty, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it miss the category entirely.
ReplyMarch 5, 2021 at 4:28 pm #1204086565Recently finished Dickinson season two and thought it was WONDERFUL. It’s a little messy sometimes and a tad over-eager, but I thought that it actually really improved on the first season. It’s found a very strong place in its character work, and while it may not be doing anything super complex or mind-blowing, it’s found a lot of beauty in its simplicity (kind of like Dickinson’s poems). Hailee Steinfeld was just amazing. I’m hoping Apple will push her and that she can make it into Actress. Right now I think she’s hovering around seventh or eighth. Would love to see it get into Writing as well, for “Split the lark” or “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” Hell, I’m rooting hard for it in Series. A wonderful treat that really found its groove this season with emotionally-based storytelling and a willingness to take risks with fantastical and convention-breaking ideas.
It’s got an 81 on Metacritic and a 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, a vast improvement from its previous 66 and 75 (granted, there are fewer reviews but this still feels like a significant jump). Apple’s obviously got Ted Lasso, but if they make this enough of a priority, I think it’s not out of the question for writing and Steinfeld.
ReplyMarch 5, 2021 at 3:43 pm #1204086457I think the key to the WandaVision finale’s reception is that the people most disappointed and angry are the ones whose theories/expectations didn’t pan out. Without going into spoilers, the show didn’t do as much big MCU set-ups or cameos as people wanted, but rather it focused on character development and providing an ending to Wanda’s story and development. Beyond some structural issues (the plot in the finale definitely could’ve been spread over two episodes), I thought that it did great job of wrapping the story with an actual satisfying emotional conclusion, something not often found in the MCU.
Long story short, I doubt the fact that it didn’t live up to the fan theories of big universe-shattering revelations will matter much to the Emmy voters. I think it has much of a chance as it did before, which is a very good one. It’ll also probably help that voting is still so far away; the sting of the finale just feels strong with only a few hours removed, but I feel it’ll be remembered very well in a few months. If anything, the issues people may have with the writing will likely not extend to the actors, who everyone still pretty much agrees were fantastic.
ReplyMarch 5, 2021 at 10:10 am #1204085711I thought this was good, not great. I agree that it’s the rare series that could’ve definitely been longer, as I feel the amount of ground they had to cover in less than five hours didn’t let it breathe or allow the characters to fully develop. I also couldn’t help but feel like this topic was already done better in Pose. Of course, we need more AIDS awareness and education, so I don’t want to discount this show’s existence, but Pose really feels like the more evolved version of this, and it already happened. I don’t want to be harsh, as it is a very well-done series, and I did enjoy watching it. I’m hardcore rooting for Hawes and would be very happy if Alexander and West showed up at some nominations as well. While it probably wouldn’t be at the top of my personal lists, I’d be pleased to see it do well at the Emmys.
