I think it’s about Chastain likely winning and her campaigning him and pushing for him to be nominated with her. At least that was my reasoning in predicting him (I do have Carell too tho).
I understand why people are predicting him and your reasoning is why I think he can get nominated. But him having twice as many people predicting him as a SAG nominee who has 11 Emmy nominations is just bizarre to me. There shouldn’t be that level of confidence in someone who so far has gotten nominated for nothing this season whilst their co-star has been nominated for and won awards for the same show.

June 2, 2023 at 6:25 am #1205449937Can anyone explain why this show never gets into writing (except for season one, which it won), despite the fact that it’s about stand-up and has famously snappy, witty dialogue? You would think that would be writers branch bait.
The branch can sometimes be very idiosyncratic with their choices (see them dropping The Good Wife after nominating its pilot, even as the WGA continued to nominate it like they did with Maisel season 2 and 3, only to return to it for its mixed received finale) and all three of its second, third and fourth seasons have faced similar hurdles with them coming up against stacks of baitier contenders and the novelty behind the show’s zippy dialogue fading over time.
I have actually considered it making a surprise return in writing à la The Good Wife not just because we’ve seen the writers pull similar moves in the past with finales of shows or because of the rebound in critical acclaim but because I think the introduction of the flash-forwards as a narrative device makes it stand out as a quirkier choice in the field and I think if the branch are still paying attention to the show (which season 3’s WGA nomination would suggest to me that they still might be) they might want to recognise that. That being said I think what’s holding me back from making such a leap is that I think even if they are paying attention to it there’s a risk with the restricted ballot that “Four Minutes” and “The Testi-Roastial” (which is arguably a much bigger writing showcase) split votes with each other and so neither get in.

June 2, 2023 at 6:14 am #1205449929I’m sorry but why is Michael Shannon 5th in the odds? I think he can happen (especially with White House Plumbers feeling more and more like an afterthought) but him being so far ahead of Carell is strange to me when they’re both in contenders that have performed equally as well as each other and the latter got the SAG nod and is a perennial nominee (whilst the former did not and has never been nominated for any of his TV performances).

June 2, 2023 at 4:46 am #1205449907And Nicole Kidman would be nominated this year tbh.
Likewise The Undoing still got Hugh Grant in and pulled through a production design nomination it didn’t get at the guilds. Since 2016 only The Loudest Voice and Maniac (both of which were competing in almost every category with bigger juggernauts) have ever been nominated at SAG without getting a single nomination at the Emmys whether above or below the line and only 1883 and The Good Lord Bird have been nominated at SAG but weren’t nominated for anything above the line at the Emmys (they both only received craft nods). Every other show has either repeated their SAG nomination at the Emmys or gotten in somewhere else above the line (like Black Mirror season 3).

June 2, 2023 at 4:16 am #1205449897To be fair, Barry > The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel any time of the day.
That wasn’t my point.

June 1, 2023 at 5:30 pm #1205449650Very disappointed by Succession and Bad Sisters submitting “Connor’s Wedding” and “The Prick” for writing instead of “With Open Eyes” and “Saving Grace”.

June 1, 2023 at 4:46 pm #1205449608I just realised when I was revising my supporting actress predictions that almost every year in this category recently we’ve had an ingenue nominated, some of whom by surprise. Daddario, Dever and Sweeney last year. Ingram (over Heller) the year before. Qualley and Wright. Even Woodley to an extent can be included in this. The only year we haven’t had one was in 2020 but that was a very competitive and veteran heavy year. We often think voters tend to go for very meaty types of character acting in these categories because of how much they tend to do that in both comedy and drama supporting actress but in limited they seem to spread the wealth by character turns from seasoned thespians and supporting performances from breakouts.

June 1, 2023 at 4:30 pm #1205449604Gotta say, I am SHOCKED you are just now getting around to watching this gem of a show. It’s long been #2 on my favorite series of all time list (only behind The Wire and ahead of Mad Men, The Leftovers, and The Americans). However, I am extremely excited for you!
It has been one of my biggest blind spots over the years so when Jacob Boe created the thread for people to discuss their blindspots last month and I posted mine I decided to start making my way through it with the revival coming up soon (I’m moving at a bit of a sluggish pace limiting myself to an episode a day and then taking a break of a week or two between seasons because that’s how I prefer to binge shows that are no longer on TV). I’m actually three episodes into season 2 and it has been so difficult to maintain that routine because I’ve been so tempted to just binge the whole season in one swoop.

June 1, 2023 at 4:15 pm #1205449590It’s a shame Amy Sherman-Palladino is going to have to compete for the finale against Bill Hader at DGA next year because she would have been so deserving of a Lesli Linka Glatter type of send off win.

June 1, 2023 at 3:46 pm #1205449564Black Bird was more or less an ok show for me throughout. Not an underwhelming show by any means but also not anything extraordinary either. If nominated it will probably be a better series nominee than half of last year’s lineup but there are various limited series from last year that I preferred to it and several I’d nominate this year over it (The English, Fleishman is in Trouble, Mrs. Davis, Dead Ringers, Irma Vep, This is Going to Hurt, Tiny Beautiful Things, Five Days at Memorial, probably A Small Light unless it drops in quality in the later episodes etc).

June 1, 2023 at 2:42 pm #1205449507There was someone on here asking about it so I thought I’d just mention that the embargo for The Crowded Room lifts at midnight pacific time.
Reviews for Hijack (starring Archie Panjabi and Idris Elba) also lift on the 16th at midnight pacific time. The show premieres on the 28th.

Thanks Chris!
