“Cats” is one of the worst musicals I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, so I had little hope for the trailer. It’s weird how the actors seem to be in half-makeup, half-CGI like that. I couldn’t picture how all of this would be done. At least it’s not like “The Polar Express”-level artificial. J-HUD nailed “Memory” like I knew she would, but practically…[Read more]

Make-up. The main thrust of this season was Jack’s Vietnam arc, secondary to that was Randall/Beth, and the other arcs last (Nicky, Kate’s pregnancy, Toby’s depression, Kevin’s addiction, etc.). Rebecca was mostly reacting to EVERYTHING all season long. Nothing against Mandy Moore, who nailed everything given to her and landed her first Emmy…[Read more]

But there’s no real “moving” on from the Internet or the fanbase. Ask Lindelof and Cuse about “moving on.” They will be apologizing for this series finale for the rest of their lives, in one way or another.

Sapochnik, but he should have submitted “The Bells” over “The Long Night.”

Also predicting DGA winner Adam McKay to win the Emmy for the “Succession” pilot.

Best episode so far this season. Sarah Jessica Parker was on fire here. I like it when Frances is the driving agent in things and not simply a passive observer. And Amy Sedaris kicked things up a notch just like she did last season. Not sure what they’re doing with Molly Shannon and Talia Balsam. If this is all the level of material they’re going…[Read more]

Nice comparison. Hendricks was more deserving and overdue than Headey is.

It’s not “backwards” when people want to reject legitimate criticism of S8 b/c everyone “worked so hard on it” or whatever. I think it’s fine to separate the high technical achievement from the low artistic achievement. Benioff and Weiss aren’t exempt from criticism. Am I condoning online death threats or something b/c of a shitty series finale?…[Read more]

This was a nice cooling-off episode after last week’s explosive game-changer. Not too interested in Damon/Ricky romance shenanigans, but I was genuinely invested in the Madonna angle with the Blond Ambition tour auditions. Having one of them make it would have been compelling if done correctly, even if it might have sidelined one of them. The show…[Read more]

Maisie. It was Arya’s season, which makes this an easy vote for me. Christie had one great episode of note. Turner, congratulations on your deserved breakthrough. Headey barely had the material for a nomination, and a career win feels excessive.

Benioff’s and Weiss’s feelingssss were hurt. Boo fucking hoo! They’re multi-millionaires and are about to win a ton of Emmys this fall. Don’t feel sorry for them for ONE SECOND for the hatchet job they pulled on S8 or the perfectly legitimate fan criticism received b/c of that fact!

Yes, personal opinion, duh. Don’t care that others here weren’t predicting him. Many others were elsewhere.

He matched Mahershala all the way through, so it is.

Stephen Dorff missing…that’s insane. No Ian McShane either?

The 2% rule is perfectly fine. Expect the membership to eventually expand both Comedy and Drama Series to ten nominees each.

Episode Title: “What Would Candy Do?”

Synopsis: Competition gets the best of Damon and Ricky as they both audition for a spot on Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour.

Discuss.

6 EMMY NOMINATIONS! Congratulations!

Pose’s Billy Porter Just Made Emmys History
By Malcolm Venable | Jul 16, 2019 3:54 PM EDT

Pose, FX’s groundbreaking series about the New York City ballroom community, got nominated for six Emmys on Tuesday, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Billy…[Read more]

Surprised that Michael Angarano got in over Griffin Dunne. Maybe the Emmys are a’changin’ after all…

Ever? The way that poorly written article was worded made it seem like all involved were too busy for it now due to busy schedules, making season 3 unrealistic. Never say never though.

No Matt Bomer? FOUR acting nods for “SNL” in guest actor comedy? Jesus.

Nothing for Jim Parsons’s final victory lap is shocking. And no Tracee Ellis Ross? Expect Anthony Anderson dropped next year then. Didn’t expect Comedy Series to go yet.
