So I decided to make another StrawPoll, this time for Lead Actress.

If I have missed any contenders out do let me know (although this poll will only last for a week as obviously people may change their predictions and there may be changes in contenders).

Please only select four shows and not vote for more than 4 or make more than one set of…[Read more]

People keep talking about Thandie Newton or Julia Garner becoming the new Dinklage of their categories but I think there is a very real possibility that Alex Borstein ends up becoming the new Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the Comedy side.

Ok I am now looking forward to this programme.

Depending on quality and whichever of American Horror Story or Impeachment manages to film on time/make eligibility Paulson might be getting two Emmys next year.

Perfect submission for Borstein. I don’t think she really could have a better submission tape.

But apart from a Series nomination he was literally the only above the line nominee they got last year as well…

We talk about how Emmy voters may not vote for Cate Blanchett because of how bad it would look if a white woman playing an Evangelical right wing Republican won over three black women but I’m really being cautious about Schitt’s, Succession, The Crown and to an extent Maisel winning acting awards because of how it would look considering the cha…[Read more]

Well I don’t know. People are being cautious about Succession winning acting awards following what we saw happen with The Handmaid’s Tale in 2018 but I would also be cautious about The Morning Show. After all it doesn’t seem to have had enough acting support to get into Series.

Someone should do a Cox-Strong poll.

It absolutely is a great show.

Also with regards to your query about Succession in Writing, up until this year the rule was that you cannot enter for non International consideration if your programme did not receive at least 50% British production funds and if it had not aired in the UK first or at the same time as the States. This rule was w…[Read more]

The voting for the winners were done before the pandemic so I don’t think When They See Us won as a result of the socio-political situation.

No I totally agree with you about the difference but what I waa trying to say was that she was PHENOMENAL in that play. I have seen many performances of that play and no one managed to bring as much depth to the role as much as Foy did. I could see (despite it possibly being a hurdle) Foy still managing to play the season 3 Queen after watching…[Read more]

Glad someone agrees with me. Shalhoub and Borstein could lose if Schitt’s suddenly wins everything and Maisel wins nothing (like THT s1 and Westworld s1) but people need to be realistic because there is no way they split votes with Brown and Hinkle. I mean if people think Duplass and Crudup won’t split then they shouldn’t be thinking Shalhoub…[Read more]

What?!?! Did I say Levy or Ali shouldn’t bother because there is no way they are winning? I know you are a massive Schitt’s Creek fan but I hope you understand that I didn’t say Dan Levy or Mahershala Ali can’t win. I said it’s Shalhoub’s to lose. That does not mean there is no way Levy or Ali can win, it means that with Brown not bothering…[Read more]

Smith-Cameron was probably 9th.

Sterling K. Brown has literally done what Olivia Colman did to help the other contenders in her category win last year. Lol it’s Shalhoub’s to lose.

Considering how competitive the Limited Series categories already seem to be I’d say no but you never know. The fact it is produced by Riverdale‘s Greg Berlanti doesn’t inspire in terms of quality.

It will be interesting to see if HBO Max manages to breakthrough next year. They also have Boys which is an AIDS drama starring Keeley Hawes a…[Read more]

Doctor Who has been confirmed not to return by the BBC. To be honest the show didn’t have any chances at the Emmys anyway even though David Tennant should won multiple Emmys for this role already.

According to Kaley Cuoco most of The Flight Attendant has been filmed and they are scheduled to finish filming it at the end of this month.

Also you…[Read more]

Oops forgot about them. Still the same principal applies. Both were nominated at TCA (Giamatti won) and both’s shows won at TCA.

Although technically I’m not counting McConaughey as his programme was in Drama at the Emmys.
