This thread reminds me how underrated Sally Hawkins is. The good sis is just a stellar actress.

Agreed. Also, if you haven’t seen the short film “The Phone Call” with her- it’s incredible (but heartbreaking). Won the Oscar and once again she is amazing.

I think overall people who hate her win think that the performance was very one-note, in a movie that offended a lot of people. Especially since there were other “deserving” nominees who had never won before. Personally my favorite by far was Sally Hawkins.

The Sopranos for me. Easily my favorite show, and the subject matter isn’t something that I thought would appeal to me. But the direction, music, plot, acting-everything is so perfect and timeless.

I believe the work Turner has been doing this season has been stunning. Her performance is not about exploding but about smartly delivering dialogue. Of the actors this season she deserves the nomination and I hope to god she gets in.

Completely agreed. Might be difficult against Headey and Williams due to their popularity (and even Christie if she self submits), but I think she’s very much deserving of a nomination.

I’m trying to believe the best in Sansa. Yes she promised Jon she wouldn’t repeat, but she did this so Tyrion/Varys would find out and be able to intervene if need be. I don’t think she did this solely to betray Jon who could potentially be not thinking straight because he loves Dany. Not totally justifying what she did, but I am hoping there is good cause for this in the end.

Also Christie NEEDS an Emmy nomination.

A lot of the time the understudy is better than the actual performer, but the person who gets the role is a “name.” It’s unfortunate, but that’s show biz. I saw Ali Stroker’s understudy in Oklahoma! and I didn’t feel like I missed anything by not seeing Stroker.

That sounds about right. I’m very rarely disappointed in an understudy. I remember I was supposed to see Jackie Burns in Wicked but I ended up seeing her understudy Laurel Harris, and I was so impressed.

I thought Efron and Collins were both pretty incredible, but overall I thought the movie was very boring and had a very basic storyline. For such an interesting topic I think they could have done a lot more with it. I enjoyed the editing and score as well, but otherwise the script/plot was pretty lackluster. Could maybe see this getting in at the Globes but would be super surprised if anything more than that.

I just saw Hadestown yesterday. I really can see it sweeping most major and technical categories. Amber Gray was amazing, and I personally preferred De Shields over Page, but both were really great. I know the NYT review briefly touched on Eurydice/Orpheus’ characters not being as fully developed as Persephone/Hades, but I really thought Carney brought a lot to the show and should have been nominated. Unfortunately I saw Noblezada’s understudy (Jessie Shelton), but she was incredible so I didn’t even mind.

I really enjoyed the episode. I know everyone had high expectations which is only expected after so much lead up to this moment. It’s a lot to take in so I definitely want to rewatch. Arya’s a legend and I actually cried when she killed the Knight King, but I still think Turner is outacting Williams. Williams has the benefit of being a fan favorite character though with an amazing storyline. With that being said, I think Headey will have a lot of screentime in these next couple episodes and will likely be the MVP.

For Jeff Daniels and Laurie Metcalf to be snubbed here, do we think this means they have no chance of winning the Tony? (Assuming May/Jackson and Cranston are the frontrunners?)

It has a respectable RT and IMDB rating though. MC rating is definitely mixed but I wouldn’t quite count it out yet.
