This Is Us might have only ended up with acting nominations in its first year. but it still seemed to have more groundswell support to justify a Series nomination than The Morning Show did with WGA New Series, ACE,  AFI and 4 TCA nominations coming into the Emmys.

Have they not both started at November 1? Watchmen aired the same amount of…[Read more]

Hear hear! Highly addictive and well-acted guilty pleasure.

All seasons except the last one are on YouTube for anyone interested.

Irregardless of their acting merits; the idea that SAG voters were familiar with the real life personalities of the likes of Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Kieran Culkin enough to the point they collectively decide that it is an ‘unimpressive ensemble’ is quite bonkers.  If only the same people that nominated Krasinski for Jack Ryan over Matthew Rhys…[Read more]

Anyone noticed Susan Kelechi Watson is finally correctly listed under her surname W instead of her middle name K after 3 years? Heh, I wonder if she specifically requested for that.

FYC: Homeland “Prisoners of War”

The rationale behind it is quite fair on paper-the number of nominees proportioned to the amount of submissions. I kind of like that it indirectly recognizes the essential “flaw” of all award shows in having the same amount of spots for leading and supporting categories when the latter will always have more contenders.

Yet when applied to the…[Read more]

Huh?

I disagree with the overall sentiment that the early air date being the dealbreaker for BLL when we have Succession with a similar air date from the same network leading the chart. It also struggled at the guilds when it was supposedly fresher in voters’ mind. Very recently GoT S7 and Stranger Things S1 were able to sustain their momentum…[Read more]

Aren’t we overemphasizing the impact of alphabet ranking a little bit? Mostly in categories that will not have overwhelming amount of submissions to begin with, like Lead categories. I’d like to believe voters could skim through 10 pages at the very least.

Supporting categories on the other hand, especially for Drama, certainly require this kind…[Read more]

Jonathan Pryce-Game of Thrones S5 (was in 5/10 episodes)

Love his work on the show, he would have made a great nominee.

AHS was actually eligible for the Ensemble award in its first five seasons when it competed as a drama.

There must be those who use the Witherspoon option as merely the anti-Aniston/pro-votesplitting vote. I admit to have done similar things on polls in the past

Maybe there should be a “Neither” option?

I’m not sure vote-splitting is the main reason she’s not gonna get in for either show when the voting system already minimizes the effect of that as much as possible. Being the secondary lead with a significantly weaker storyline than the other lead on two shows that have questionable overall support themselves seem to be a bigger blow to her…[Read more]

Margo Martindale-Justified(Won)

It is most likely to be reflective of the quantity of work that is being submitted in those genres and not the level of competition(which is subjective and may vary from year to year). Even last year, the number of acting submissions from Drama tripled those from Limited. Guest categories in either genre also do not benefit from the rule.

It…[Read more]

%2 percentage rule only applies in Drama&Comedy Lead/Supporting races. There would have to be an actual tie for there to be more than 6 nominees in Limited acting categories.

“A performer who plays the same character in more than one series may only enter for one series in the current eligibility year.”

So no more cross-over performances in guest categories like Viola Davis for Scandal.

“If the series/limited series has one or more episodes that air after May 31 and those episodes/parts are not able to be posted by…
