Overall, this was a poorly written 2nd season. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great either. Reminded me of Season 2 of Killing Eve in that sense. All of these actresses deserved better.
The “major incident” in the season finale did not feel natural at all.
Kind of spoiler alert ahead…
It felt more like an actor/actress wanted off the show to go do other things. That’s the vibe I got.

Also great little guest moments by Nina Arianda, Kenneth Tigar and Sarah Steele (The Good Fight).
ReplyMay 16, 2023 at 1:30 pm #1205430625I think all awards will now be televised as I’m sure nothing pre-written (presenter banter, opening monologue, comedic segments, etc) will be allowed. I’m sure it will just be free-styled awards presenting and musical performances.
ReplyMay 16, 2023 at 8:56 am #1205430343The main two I want to see recognized from Succession are Hiam Abbass (for that scene alone) and Justin Kirk (to make up for all those snubs for Weeds).
ReplyMay 12, 2023 at 10:07 am #1205427650If he’s submitted I can definitely see Hank Azaria getting nominated for Maisel.
And I can see him winning (if voters decide not to go with the Steve Martin-Martin Short single nomination for the win).
He was really gifted an excellent Guest Acting showcase (including singing!).
ReplyMay 6, 2023 at 10:04 am #1205422443I think Alex Borstein is taking home her 3rd Emmy for Maisel after this week’s performance. She has been having an amazing final season and this could easily be Maisel’s “goodbye Emmy.”

Still praying for a miracle! If and when it doesn’t happen, I’ll pray for a Guest nomination for the new spinoff, assuming she’ll agree to return!
April 25, 2023 at 9:19 am #1205409851There will be no vote-splitting in Lead Actor. As long as Strong delivers in the final episodes (and I think he will), he will easily take his 2nd win.
Culkin could have won Supporting, but doesn’t have the material to win Lead. He will get his nomination though.
As long as he’s eligible, I don’t see why HBO wouldn’t put Cox in Guest Actor to try to take that win. Unless Cox insists on being placed in Lead consideration himself. Still, if that happens, it won’t prevent Strong from winning. His biggest competition will be Bob Odenkirk, but if Bob hasn’t won by now, I’m not sure why he would finally win this time.
April 23, 2023 at 1:05 pm #1205407875Just finished The Diplomat. This series literally screams Emmy bait. It’s adult, prestige (but not snobby), enjoyable and will easily standout amongst the mostly sci-fi and/or genre shows competing in the Drama categories.
I think the show easily sneaks into Drama Series, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor and Writing. It also stands a great chance at taking home the Emmys for Lead Actress and Supporting Actor.
Even if Snook does decide to go lead, I think Keri Russell can still win based on the combination of the role, performance, admiration for the actress and being overdue for a win. I’m not saying that Snook wouldn’t win, but it would definitely be more of a fight than people seem to think it would be.
Meanwhile, Rufus Sewell has been given a scene-chewing role that stands out in a way that reminds me of the way Billy Crudup stood out in The Morning Show. Depending on how well The Diplomat does on Netflix (currently #1) he could come in and steal the win in Supporting Actor, where a lot of the contenders might be splitting the vote with their co-stars (Succession, The White Lotus, Better Call Saul).
April 17, 2023 at 9:18 am #1205393437If SZA can make another one of the songs off her album a radio/commercial hit like “Kill Bill” then she will win AOTY.
I think Taylor is in 2nd place and can definitely win. I do think voters will take a pause to think about if they have already honored her enough though. I thought for sure she was going to win SOTY this past year, so her not winning could be a sign that they are done rewarding her for now.
Boygenius could also be the little engine that could win.
Here’s to hoping the competition beefs up in the next couple of months! We need more contenders.
Although I hope the rumor of Adele releasing a new album is not true.
March 30, 2023 at 12:56 pm #1205369646After seeing last year’s nominations, do you honestly think any of those will be the determining factor? There are ten spots.
I think it is always a determining factor for higher profile, major label-backed acts trying to breakthrough in the Pop/R&B world. To me, predicting FLO is the equivalent of predicting people like Rita Ora, Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, Sabrina Carpenter, etc. The Grammys have proven that they really only go for a Pop/R&B act if they have established themselves with a hit or 2.
It becomes less of a factor for alternative artists or artists from other genres that don’t have Pop appeal, like Jazz or Americana.
ReplyMarch 30, 2023 at 12:18 pm #1205369604I enjoy Yellowjackets, but with the voting changes limiting the number of people voters can vote for, I don’t see many more actors (if any) scoring noms from this series.
…Especially younger/non-established names.
Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci are the only safe “locks” and the clear choices voters would go for if they were to only go for one actress from the series per category.
Had Juliette Lewis gone Supporting I would say she would have stood a chance at being the 2nd nominee from the series in Supporting Actress. Even in a weak field, I think it will be difficult for her to break through in Lead Actress.
If Season 2 ends up being critically acclaimed, hyped by audiences and their roles are deserving, then I would say next in line to potentially surprise with noms would be the new additions: Lauren Ambrose and Elijah Wood.
March 29, 2023 at 9:06 am #1205368009As of right now, FLO will not be a thing at the Grammys. I’m confused why anyone would think they would be at this point.
They have not broken through in any way here in the U.S.
No hit single or album, no radio play, no streaming, no sales, no overwhelming critical acclaim. What am I missing?

ReplyMarch 23, 2023 at 10:43 am #1205361244SZA is the only sure thing here. Having the year that she has had so far, she probably has a Pop Solo nom locked up too.
If I were Miguel and Chris Brown, I might think it wise to release new live or acoustic versions of their hits “Sure Thing” and “Under the Influence.” Both, but especially the later, would have a likely shot at scoring performance noms given that they are two of the biggest R&B hits of the year (despite not having been released this year).
