The list of the critics is ridiculous and based on assumptions and tendencies… Brown and Watson are the only actors from This is us, however, they are very far from being the highlight of the season… Isaac in, but Chastain out for Scenes from a Marriage.. Because of what happened at SAG I guess… Giancarlo Esposito and Jonathan Banks for Saul when Michael Mando and Tony Dalton have been undoubtedly the stand outs this season, so far at least. Lame and lazy. TCA are the only awards from critics that actually matter and take TV seriously.
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 3:20 pm #1204950422The This is Us stans being the most annoying stans around here wasn’t on my bingo. And they act like it’s a Succession level of awards success and critical acclaim.
People were predicting Melanie Lynskey way before the critics choice win. It’s just a mix of the show being well liked, widely seen and the goodwill/buzz she has in industry. I don’t think the show will get in, but she could make it
It is neither of those though. It has only 38K votes on IMDB and a pretty low score of 7.9. And before throwing shade on IMDB for being supposedly predominantly male, look the votes and the scores of shows like Handmaid’s Tale, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Big Little Lies. Or This is us to begin with. Also, This is us is the number 1 show on any network in the key demo, so it is actually widely seen for sure (unlike many streaming shows that use FAKE articles written by their own PR’s without third party being able to confirm to present themselves as widely seen).
But either way, I think it’s reductive to dismiss her Critics Choice win and use SAG as a reason for doing that given the circumstances.
Actually, it is not. SAG are industry awards and they have common voters with the Emmys, she show and Lynskey were eligible and they did not make it.
CC are not an industry awards and they keep losing prestige with each edition.
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 12:25 pm #1204950228Moore was barely in season 5.. also Lynskey is not outside of the top 10 lmao.
Season 5 had 16 episodes, Moore was a lead with big storylines in 8 of them: 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 14 and 16, this is not ¨barely¨ having in mind that the show often has episodes centered in a specific character or just on a single storyline.
And about Lynskey, in my opinion, Zendaya, Linney, Aniston, Witherspoon, Oh, Comer and Moore are easily in front of her, all of them are previous nominees for those roles (Zendaya and Comer are previous winners) with the exception of Witherspoon, but SAG nom beats Critics Choice win. Then we have Britt Lower and Kelly Reilly, both from shows much bigger than hers. Add a household name like Moss for a hot Apple new drama and boom… Linskey is out of the top 10.
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 10:56 am #1204950156Was Moore completely absent from the season or she just didn’t get enough material?
No, she was not. She had many tapes and the season was very good and robbed, however, this last season is even better and it has a lot of buzz.
is Metz at all a possibility?
She is, she would be so, so deserving! Same goes for Chris Sullivan, it will be the third time in which Gold Derby will not predict him.
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 10:47 am #1204950133I don’t know what to think with Moore. I suspect she’s never been that far out of contention (ie she was probably top 10 most years) given the performance of the show and rest of the cast.
I have a vague theory Moss for Handmaid’s is the one pushing her out – the year Moss missed, Moore got in, they both have roles with strong themes of motherhood, they’re both similar ages, and I tend to feel like whilst they’ve both been around forever, their core is probably people around their ages. Shining Girls will be too underseen (I do like it, though) to get in, and I suspect it will be moved to limited at the last minute too.
Not true, the year Moss missed was the year in which Zendaya (Euphoria, season 1) beat Linney (Ozark, season 3), Comer (Killing Eve, season 3), Oh (Killing Eve, season 3), Colman (The Crown, season 3) and Aniston (The Morning Show, season 1).
Very crowed year like the one we are having this year, the ones that missed were:
1. Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale, season 3)
2. Witherspoon (The Morning Show, season 1)
3. Mandy Moore (This is us, season 4)
4. Kidman (Big Little Lies, season 2)
5. Witherspoon (Big Little Lies, season 2)
6. Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld, season 3)
7. MJ Rodriguez (Pose, season 2)
8. Viola Davis (How to Get Away with Murder, season 6)I this that this is a good example that anyone can miss, Linney and Zendaya seem like the only locks. Aniston and Witherspoon are supposedly close second due to those SAG noms, HOWEVER, that year the SAG nominees were Aniston (winners), Colman, Comer, Moss and Helena Bonham Carter. Moss still missed.
I don’t know how anyone can see Melanie Lynskey as top 4, she is not even top 10.
ReplyMay 11, 2022 at 4:34 pm #1204949404Reilly probably can get nominated in Lead, but it feels like they left an easy Supporting nom if she misses.
Everything feels so stuck, they probably hope for the Comer/OH duo to get snubbed, this is the only way to see real surprises in lead. Linney, Zendaya and Aniston feel like locks. In a fair world Moore must be a lock for the win. And Witherspoon is very likely (she and Aniston are the only SAG nominees eligible in Lead). So Kelly Reilly, Britt Lower and the girls from Yellowjackets feel like long shots to me.
ReplyMay 11, 2022 at 1:24 pm #1204949259I ugly cried at the end. It reminded me of when I would go home to visit my parents and I would cut my Dad’s hair. He had dementia and passed away in December AND his birthday is soon. Also, Mandy Moore as Rebecca just sitting there staring, I know that look too. Everything was so real but still beautiful showing the love.
I have never had such experience and I cried my eyes out at those scenes, I cannot imagine what it was for you. Stay strong, I am sending you a hug!
ReplyMay 11, 2022 at 1:19 pm #1204949255If Mr Robot, a show that aired on a network the Emmys hadn’t cared about since Monk, was able to make the cut in Series based on its status as the buzzy new show of the season, then Severance should be fine given it’s the main drama push of a huge network that we know voters watch.
I liked your comment and I agree as whole, but this kind of saturation did not existed back then. There is too much quality content, it is impossible to watch everything. This is one of the reasons why the brilliant season 3 and season 4 of Mr. Robot were overlooked, many people left on or after season 2, they never came back for season 3 and 4 precisely because there were many other options and stuff to watch.
ReplyMay 10, 2022 at 10:15 pm #1204948716I DEMMAND (kindly and friendly) you all put Mandy Moore in your prediction, we owe this to her immense talent, promote her as much as you can. Even if she does not get in, you can all survive one wrong prediction. Act now!

ReplyMay 4, 2022 at 2:27 pm #1204942087Olivia Colman appears in 4 out of 8 episodes of the series (Episode 1, Episode 5, Episode 7, Episode 8).
Not true, she appears in 6 out of 8 (all except 3 and 4).
The show is superb, I cried my eyes out. On the finale I cried so much, I almost had a migraine after. And usually I am not a crier, but this is so, so easy to relate to as a gay man, so easy to let yourself imagine yourself in those roles in your school. It is pure magic, I cannot even be objective regarding the writing, for me it was flawless. As a more sexual person, it was too PG13 for me at some times, but I loved its innocence regardless.
Kit Connor and Joe Locke are equally good, their chemistry is out of this world, both are very expressive. Kit Connor is seen as the stand out because is much more attractive, this is how the world works. Yasmin Finney is also very attractive, talented and charismatic, she is gonna go to places, I am sure of it, same goes for Connor, of course.
And yes, Olivia Colman is a worldwide treasure, a gay Queen, a Queen of Queens, an actress that can do anything she wants, a master of her craft.
ReplyMarch 30, 2022 at 4:33 pm #1204890647I am so happy about It’s a Sin, finally some major recognition for the show!
I want to specify that I predicted the snub of Keeley Hawes one year ago, and again back then, I also correctly predicted the nomination of Lydia West, many of you were predicting it the other way around. But this is yet another case of a delusion here. Keeley Hawes did not do anything special, you just love here from before. Lydia West is the fan favorite, the most beloved and the most popular, she is the heart and soul of the show. And nonetheless, you are still underestimating her. She can win. Comer won recently and she will have another nomination for Killing Eve next year and I really doubt they will go for Winslet, so West can and probably will win.
The top performances in the show that were a must for a nomination are all here: Lydia West, Olly Alexander, Callum Scott Howells and Omari Douglas, so I cannot be happier.
David Carlyle is a cute nomination, but also a little random one. Neil Patrick Harris would have been a much deserved nominee (I guess he was inelegible as an American). Nathaniel Curtis could have been another possible choice.
As I said, the snub of Keeley Hawes was not a real surprise for me, but those of Claire Foy, Paul Bettany and Olivia Colman are. Especially Colman and her tremendous work in “Landscapers”, this is personal and petty. She was robbed big time.
A Very British Scandal was very different, it had nothing to do with A Very English Scandal, this is the ingredient that was missing and maybe that led to them not caring for it.
ReplyMarch 27, 2022 at 9:06 pm #1204884022Netflix is great. It might take some time but if they win, they will SWEEP BIG time and break records just like the Emmys.
Netlfix is trash that is slowly dying. They had 5625191 TV shows in 2021 and literally just TWO have some relevance – Squid Game and Maid. The binge model is dying. The model to put trash content like crazy every week is dying. And the trend to by sophisticated movies and put them on their horrible platform full of brainless people that can hate on them for free is also dying. How can you expect to put a movie like Passing on Netflix and to be properly valuated?
March 27, 2022 at 9:01 pm #1204883967Jessica Chastain was the ONLY deserving actress in that line-up (along with Colman, but she won recently). Her win was the best thing about the night, her speech, the quality of her work. She is a treasure.
I think is good that the Oscars went back to reflect what real people that love movies like. They were lately too influenced of the unbearable snobs of Film Twitter. I love Power of the Dog, but I will never forgive you Drive My Car, Licorice Pizza and Spencer – 3 movies no one in the real world actually likes. So the wins of CODA, Chastain, Smith, Troy and Ariana are a reminder for you and for your delusions.
March 27, 2022 at 7:38 pm #1204882561Dude it was real. Look on Twitter
I was talking about your reaction. A punch does not equal sociopathy LOL
