Ryan Murphy has mentioned in interviews that the show will likely end in 1996 with a breakthrough in AIDS treatments. Co-creator Steven Canals also reiterated that the year was particularly important and that he envisioned the show might last 5 seasons.
The 2nd season was strong and I would hope will once again be considered for Drama series next year. Porter had a few competitive episode submissions and will also likely return. Hopefully one of the other performers will also be recognized. Mj Rodriguez in particular is noteworthy as Blanca continues to be the heart of the show. Ross, Moore and the rest of the cast also had their shining moments throughout the season.

Emily Blunt and the director are the only reasons I’m considering seeing the film. Cruise is likely promoting like crazy because he knows he has much riding on its success after a series of major duds (Jack Reacher, Knight and Day and Oblivion). I doubt the movie reaches 100 million domestically, therefore his foreign star power will really have to carry the load for it make a profit. Cruise certainly knows he needs more than the Mission Impossible franchise to be a marketable star and continue making big budget blockbusters.

I suspect she was just seen as the most established and due in a weak category. I also think AHS will suffer greatly in nominations this year. Bates had lost 11 times before finally winning for her much publicized portrayed of the ghost of Charlie Sheen. I never said anything about her submitting an episode because I think anyone familiar with the show at all would know she didn’t have one.
ReplyMay 25, 2014 at 9:26 pm #268128Great film. I was genuinely moved on numerous occasions. The cast was uniformly brilliant, everyone from Ruffalo to Parsons got a chance to shine. The film could have easily been made into a miniseries. I’m really hopeful that the rumors of a sequel are true. The film, Ruffalo, Boomer and Roberts are all frontrunners in my opinion. I don’t know why everyone is predicting Bates for AHS, especially since she has lost almost all of her previous nominations and was given such an underdeveloped character that went nowhere. I also hope a few actors join Boomer in the supporting category. I would actually support any or all of the supporting actors being nominated. Kitsch, Molina, Mantello and Parsons all delivered award worthy performances. The film at times did come off as a little stagey, but I personally do not think that made the film any less effective.

Carl has also been given some great material this season. This show is a brilliant DRAMA… But I guess any added recognition would be better than just a random Cusack nom. The entire cast has had great moments over this season and it’s probably also been their most consistent.
ReplyMarch 18, 2014 at 7:47 pm #147996I would vote for Spacek, but MTM was brilliant. Her role in Ordinary People was fantastic and easily the highlight in her film career. Hawn was also award worthy in her signature role. Rowlands and Burstyn were both good, but both have been much better in other films.
ReplyFebruary 18, 2014 at 4:51 pm #305417I’ve become a much bigger fan of their realistic approach to creating characters and storylines. I don’t feel as if things are being forced or if characters are completely unrealistic. This weeks episode reminded me of a few dates I have been on. Groff is charming and I think with enough development and maybe a little more depth he could be a revelation in this role. I hope HBO is able to look past the less than stellar ratings and give them a second season.
ReplyFebruary 17, 2014 at 5:13 pm #295964I’m in the minority on this site because I personally really enjoyed season 4. I suspect this show will do really well at the Emmys again this year. I hope Laura Carmichael gets recognized this season, she was my favorite. I also think Bonneville, Dockery and Carter should be dropped, but voters never recognize the truly worthy actors on this show. I’m fine with Smith being nominated again, although she probably wouldn’t make my list this year.
