Okay, so this is in reality “American Horror Story: Ratched.” Got it. I could have then calibrated my expectations accordingly. This continues a trend of using well-known IP that bears no resemblance to the original inspiration, whether it’s a prequel, sequel, reboot, whatever. “Perry Mason” was a recent culprit. With dramas like “Bates Motel” and…[Read more]

Aaand we have our first two finalists! Sorry to see The Young Cast go. They tried so hard and went through every hurdle that this show placed in front of them. I think large dance groups can thrill an audience in a way that no others can, so that might not have been a wise decision. Fairly underwhelmed with the Latin duo, and they received the…[Read more]

Also predicting Crudup at the moment. I doubt that Duplass takes that many votes away from him, if any. I think Culkin can overcome the “Succession” vote-split, especially if both seasons of work are taken into account. Whitford’s show is on a perceived decline, so even being last year’s guest actor winner might not help him much now. As I…[Read more]

Yay Issa Rae! I was expecting “Lowkey Movin’ On” as her submission, so this is an unexpected and pleasant surprise! It’s also the show’s best written episode of the season (penned by cast member Natasha Rothwell).

All together now: “unconscious bias.”

I watch plenty, thanks. Save your concern for someone else.

Brian Cox gave the drama acting performance of the year in “Hunting.” I’ll gladly stay in my “GD bubble” with that one.

Culkin has always been my favorite from the lineup. But I’m predicting Crudup. I thought Esposito or Wright might upset and make history, but too much might be against them.

Episode Title: “Social Media Is a Great Way to Connect”

Synopsis: Arabella’s bloated social media presence finds her more glued to her phone than ever, perpetually internalizing the stress of her followers. At a Halloween “paint and wine” organized by Terry, Kwame opens up to the girls about his recent sexual experiment—and Arabella’s reaction l…[Read more]

Diversity has always been a problem here, from our sea of white dude editors to a membership that is predominately white. That’s just what it is. Hopefully diversity will happen organically over time within our GD “bubble” as you call it, and not as a product of virtue-signaling. And being “diverse” doesn’t prevent groupthink from within the…[Read more]

This is Mark Ruffalo’s career-best work. Come through on those GD odds with the Emmy win!

Probably something super-offensive like all black women cancel themselves out, just like all white women do.

Crazy episode. At this point, all I really want to see from the finale is Perry winning his case and redeeming himself on multiple fronts, inside and outside of the courtroom. The murder “mystery” of the season was anything but. That’s going to be a major challenge moving forward for season two, I think, mounting material that’s worthy enough and…[Read more]

If there’s a groundswell of support over the “Better Call Saul” snubs, then that could benefit Giancarlo Esposito. I can’t bring myself to predict an acting win for “The Mandalorian,” but in supporting actor and make history in the process? It most certainly can happen if enough vote splits occur.

All Cox does in her tape is style Piper’s hair! It’s less than nothing as far as an acting, narrative performance goes.

Yes, really.

I think it was Reese, then the two “Unbelievable” ladies, Wever & Dever (no pun intended).

Reese had to be #6.

People’s opinions and predictions change all the time when new information is presented to them, re: Emmy nominations. It’s not uncommon, nor is it rocket science.
