Personal rankings of Supporting Actresses

1. Emma Corrin
2. Gillian Anderson
3. Erin Doherty
4. Emerald Fennell
5. Helena Bonham Carter

Given that the likes of Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Victoria Wood and Judi Dench dominated this for years I’d say no.

Although recently we’ve seen a move towards a younger nominee slate (2016 & 2018 in particular).

I don’t think either Cho Yeo-Jeong and Jennifer Lopez were sixth for Supporting Actress.

Nicole Kidman in Bombshell was probably next in line.

Current Predictions
Following on from the recent Film Awards overhaul, the TV Awards ceremony is also being looked at with its changes being announced this month. It’s likely all categories could increase to five nominees, possibly new categories (ideally supporting comedy acting categories) and a change in how winners are decided. Until then, a…[Read more]

My thoughts exactly. With 10 British Film nominees, the least they could do is open up Best Film by one at the very least, if not a full ten.

Screenplays I suppose doesn’t increase because there are already 10 nominees across screenwriting?

Announced this week: we will have 6 nominees in each of the acting categories and in the Best Director category from now on.

Best British Film will have ten nomination slots.

A random one from me which will need confirming…

Is David Rose the first Emmy winning character to be LGBT+ and not experience any homophobia on screen and/or not have a HIV/AIDS diagnosis?

Productions pending, but early prediction

DRAMA SERIES: The Crown vs Ozark vs Succession

COMEDY SERIES: Barry vs The Marvelous Mrs Maisel vs What We Do In The Shadows

Olivia Colman wins Best Actress for her final The Crown run.

Gillian Anderson vs Julia Garner for Supporting Actress.

1. Catherine O’Hara
2. Daniel Levy
3. Annie Murphy
4. Regina King
5. Jeremy Strong
6. Billy Crudup
7. Eugene Levy
8. Ron Cephas Jones
9. Cherry Jones

I tried to manifest it last year to no avail, but let’s try again (provided they are all worthy)

BEST DIRECTOR
Sofia Coppola – On The Rocks
Regina King – One Night In Miami
Chloe Zhao – Nomadland

Three big contenders. Fingers crossed more than one female director is on the line-up this year!

They’ve yet to win a Series trophy at the Emmys though…

This Is Us
Homeland
New Girl

Julia Garner and Thandie Newton have never faced off before. Either one could start to cement themselves as the new Dinklage with a win this year.

Post-BAFTA 2021 Predictions

General thoughts: it’s time BAFTA had five nominees in all TV categories. They should also have supporting comedy categories, too.

Best Drama Series
The Crown
Gangs of London
Last Tango In Halifax
The Nest

Best Miniseries
I May Destroy You
Normal People
The Salisbury Poisonings
Small Axe

Best Single D…[Read more]

I’d argue MJ Rodriguez was the stand out of both seasons, with Indya Moore worthy of nominations both times.

BAFTA’s ARE VOTED ON BY A JURY – NOT THE ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP.

YOU CANNOT ASSUME HOW BRITS ARE GOING TO VOTE AT THE EMMYs BASED ON THEM!

I got…9 correct out of 26…man I’m good :-/

People saying this ruins The Crown’s chances at the Emmys – Succession lost Best International to When They See Us, so is that not winning now too?

People are putting WAY too much weight on the TV BAFTAs when it comes to the Emmys.

The Crown isn’t the kind of show that wins BAFTAs. They like grittier, more modern dramas than period pieces like The Crown.

Juries vote for them. Not an entire membership. They don’t know how other juries vote.

Seeing Caroline Flack in the ‘In Memoriam’ section hits so much harder and so much deeper than anything else.
