Is Platonic eligible?
May 20, 2023 at 4:36 pm #1205435762The White Lotus hadn’t even peaked when either the Globes or the Critics Choice announced their nominations (see Fahy missing with the former in favour of Daisy Edgar-Jones) so I don’t think anyone should really read into how the show performed with those groups when making their predictions (other than that Coolidge is a sweeper but that’s something we didn’t need to look at those groups for to find out)
I do agree but Golden Globes had never been the place for any show to be showered with acting nominations in the way Television Academy does. The White Lotus‘ three acting nominations is a huge deal.
On a different note, I have The Diplomat now in series simply because I see that everyone in my feed/timeline has seen and shared it. Netflix shows with that kind of popularity usually do well, and this is more akin to Academy’s taste unlike Bridgerton/Emily in Paris/Inventing Anna.
May 20, 2023 at 4:06 pm #1205435718Can someone guide me on the performances of House of the Dragon? As he currently sits on the prediction center is there such passion for Matt Smith to prevent The White Lotus entering with three contenders?
May 15, 2023 at 8:06 am #1205429497I was considering him for the longest time as a potential spoiler in the comedy actor race seeing how much we’ve seen the branch embrace auteurs (and in particular in shows like his) in the past. But with the category filling up with Glover, Hoult and Segel and the critics not really embracing it as much as I thought it would I think the ship might have already sailed.
I agree with you. One thing that might help him though (referring to any category he is eligible for) is that at least the industry has watched his show which is more of a challenge these days. That’s why I’m predicting Wednesday as it seems it had an undeniably massive viewership.
May 15, 2023 at 7:53 am #1205429485It’s a bit odd that The Rehearsal and Jury Duty are allowed to run in comedy.
I haven’t watched Jury Duty but it is justified in The Rehearsal: it is non-fiction in the way that it still tells a story.
May 15, 2023 at 7:28 am #1205429461Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal has switched to comedy series. It would be incredibly deserving of a series nomination, but I feel like its buzz has diminished since summer.

This would have been the most egregious thing ever, fortunately it was intervened.

May 10, 2023 at 11:15 am #1205426102Beef vs. Dahmer is much more of a race than Dopesick vs. The White Lotus. Last year, The White Lotus was simply the unbeatable contender. In the case of Beef, it is Netflix’s most acclaimed show in years so there is something to go against Dahmer‘s mammoth ratings.
May 10, 2023 at 8:43 am #1205425899“Succession” hasn’t topped “The Sopranos,” “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” or “Six Feet Under” in the all-time lists … yet. Much will depend on if they land the series finale or not.
I feel like it hasn’t penetrated to everyone else’s watchlist in the way those shows have but in my opinion it will be the definitive show that reflects the 2019 and very early 20s era. That being said, because it so dialogue-driven its international appeal is more limited than those shows which are more plot-driven.
May 10, 2023 at 8:31 am #1205425879Don’t know if it has been discussed before but with its good reviews and viewership The Diplomat might dethrone House of the Dragon (with its lackluster guilds performance) from the eighth spot. I feel like it is in top ten for sure.
May 10, 2023 at 8:26 am #1205425873First four: Beef, Dahmer, Fleishman is in Trouble, Black Bird
Fighting for the fifth spot: The Watcher, Dead Ringers, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Swarm
May 10, 2023 at 8:17 am #1205425867Like I remember really going wow with the first season of Killing Eve and the second season of Line of Duty but seeing just how bad both those shows ended up becoming has made me just wonder if I overrated them at the time.
To me there are these categories:
The best season of a great show
Great season of television of a show (regardless of how bad it was/later goes)
