The performer ballot isn’t working.

What the fuck did I just watch? So bad, so misguided. Pretty much the only thing I liked was the opening credits.

I’m blown away. Such a great finale, I’m so sad to see this show end. I wish so many noms and wins for this show, but I soooooo badly wish for Keri Russell to finally gain the recognition she deserves. She has by far been my favorite performance throughout the show’s run, the total MVP. I would die if she surprised with a win.

The Terror was fantastic, so I’d love to see it recognized anywhere. It was great across the board, but especially in its performances. Jared Harris, Ciaran Hinds, Tobias Menzies, Paul Ready, and Adam Nagaitis are just a handful of the incredibly raw performances on this show. What a wild ride, and I hope it’s recognized somewhere other than jus…[Read more]

Rinko Kikuchi for Westworld would be awesome

Peter Mullan killed it in tonight’s Westworld. Definitely worthy of a nom, I would even consider him for a win, personally.

<p>Just listing nominees off the top of my head and I can’t even begin to think about winners right now, but here goes:</p><p>Drama Series</p>

• The Americans
• Counterpart
• The Deuce
• Game of Thrones
• The Handmaid’s Tale<br>
• Mindhunter
• Stranger Things<br>

• Sterling K. Brown – This Is Us
• Brendan Gleeson – Mr. Mercedes
• Freddie…

I’m bummed because Miriam Shor should totally be nominated for The Americans, but I think she won’t be eligible because of episode count. Tonight was episode 5 out of 10, and I’m pretty sure she’s been in all 5 so far. That’s why I hate the 50% rule, because performances like Shor’s are ineligible despite definitely being guest performers.

Random thoughts after reading through HBO’s category placements:
–Odd that Ted Danson isn’t listed for Curb Your Enthusiasm, but the Joe Regalbuto submission is inspired.
–Would have been cool to see Aidan Gillen at least submitted for Game of Thrones, though I wouldn’t have voted for him. Also, sad that Indira Varma wasn’t submitted in guest…[Read more]

Cameron Britton was phenomenally creepy. He would be soooooo worthy of Guest Actor for Mindhunter.

I’m only on the second episode, but “Big Mouth” on Netflix is surprisingly great and thoughtful. Super inappropriate, but brutally honest. There are other animated shows that I pray get animated series nominations before this, like “Rick and Morty”, but this show is really good.

New possibilities for Comedy Guest categories: Gal Gadot and Kumail Nanjiani for SNL. http://www.imdb.com/news/ni61534965/    

Just saw the trailer for Rebel in the Rye, with Nicholas Hoult as J.D. Salinger. Honestly I hope it’s good, just for the mere prospect of Sarah Paulson getting in the Supporting Actress race. Think it comes out in September though, and I wasn’t wowed by the trailer…but I hope it manifests into something for Sarah.

Just finalized my predictions and definitely don’t feel good about anything at all. I’m hoping that we see a fresh and diverse line-up akin to some of what happened last year, but I’m anticipating a lot of stagnation and disappointment. I ended up putting The Leftovers in more than I had initially intended, cause I had wanted to curb my…[Read more]

I’m honestly gonna be so annoyed if Veep gets 3 supporting actors. As much as I love the show (not as much this season) and adore the entire cast, I’m gonna be pissed if three guys from the same show get in over 3 great performances from other shows. I just want more variety.

Betty Gabriel gave the best performance in the movie, and I really don’t get why nobody talks about her. Everybody talks about Catherine Keener and Allison Williams, but Betty Gabriel was definitely the standout female performer.

Yeah, this was a lot of fun to watch. They definitely assembled a fantastic cast. Betty Gilpin is really evolving into a fantastic actress. I liked her a lot on Nurse Jackie, but with this show and her stunning work on American Gods, she is really coming into herself. The second half was a lot stronger, and I feel like they spent to much of the…[Read more]

I was just looking through people’s Drama Guest Actor predictions, and Matthew Jacobs from HuffPo has three from This Is Us getting in: Gerald McRaney, Brian Tyree Henry, and Denis O’Hare. That is insane!! The only one that I would nominate is McRaney, and I don’t see the others getting in at all.

For people that were curious about the songwriting category, I just saw an FYC ad on Indiewire for a song from The Flash’s musical episode that was written by the guys that wrote the songs for La La Land.
