Of course his nomination for the second season is not random, but he wasn’t even in the predictions center for the first one!

They are responsible for Matthew Macfadyen not being hailed as the standout supporting actor of Succession. If they had not randomly nominated Kieran Culkin for the first season Macfadyen would be the clear consensus.

What if this season of The Crown is really acclaimed, even more than the third season of Succession which is yet to air?

Not sure whether the project will be eligible this year but Michelle Williams exits HBO’s Scenes From A Marriage and Jessica Chastain joins instead.

Obviously not for this season.

Per Deadline, Joy and Nolan are also showrunners along with Lenore Zion.

If that happens it will prove that HFPA just want to copy and paste from the Emmys in television, I don’t think that special episode should be considered as a television movie. Also, can’t we just scrap the term “television movie” as so many movies are available only on streaming platforms nowadays.

I know it’s not even a teaser, but looks great. Better read the source material first.

If a returning show has two episodes it is eligible to compete as a limited series. This rule initially applied to shows that were previously classified as a regular series, so that Sherlock and Luther could compete in limited series (not necessarily them), in fact they even made an exception to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life to compete as a…[Read more]

Unorthodox is based on a memoir.

I realized I May Destroy You may have a troubling guilds performance. First of all it is ineligible for WGA, so it is saying goodbye to an easy original longform nomination given how so many projects this year are adaptations. Then a populist ceremony like SAG will reject this for names like Blanchett and Kidman or other known actresses playing…[Read more]

If the 2021 Emmys were tomorrow… it would be cancelled due to lack of contenders.

Riley (@9) have you had any chance to watch this? As someone who admired the first season what’s your take on it? I’m also wondering because I enjoy reading your reviews.

Remember the times they would constantly renew stuff, seems like ages ago. Anyway, I want to see more from these creators. Hopefully they are given a new project soon.

The buzzy British half-hour drama: Normal People I May Destroy You

I think The Great and Ramy are ahead, at least that’s why I’m not predicting it.

What should I do with supporting actor?

This going to be so random.

When a show is consistent in quality it is subjective to decide which season is the best and people tend to have a soft spot for the debuts which has more discovery value and freshness. For example, there is no way that anyone can convince me that the third season of The Crown is inferior to the first two.

You are completely disregarding so many factors that come in play with a show winning. Game of Thrones has reached a such level in pop culture that even though it was not necessarily the best it had to be rewarded that’s why we have seen it losing writing prizes even though unlike in directing it had single nominations. Excluding every Game of…[Read more]
