Felicity looks fine, I guess. Feels like a single Oscar nomination kind of film to me versus the major contender I was expecting.

Excellent trailer! WOW!

I’ve always said that in the Drama field only expect below-the-line techs. Even Porter will be snubbed come Emmy time next year. Anyways, fascinating episode. Sad plights seem to be in store for most going into the finale: Angel, Stan, Papi, Elektra, Pray Tell, Blanca. I thought that Papi would be killed off this episode, but I’m oddly glad that…[Read more]

Sad that Kendall relapsed like that. However, it’s the strongest that Jeremy Strong has been on here to date. Finally some spark of electricity that’s been sadly missing from his performance! The family therapy scenes at Connor’s ranch were interesting, I guess. I’m also glad that Sarah Snook is being given more to do with Shiv running a…[Read more]

This episode was better than the pilot. Amazing Amy’s gonna win everything.

Olivia Colman looks fantastic! Wow. I had little interest in seeing this until now.

Sure. Maybe not this year, but an honorary Oscar is in Harrison Ford’s future at some point.

Discuss.

I haven’t seen enough of these contenders to rank them properly.

SQ for Comedy Leads

1. Al Pacino in Lead Actor telefilm/LS for “Paterno” (shocking)
2. Sean Hayes for “Will & Grace” in Supporting Actor comedy (thought he would win)
3. Marc Maron for “GLOW” in Supporting Actor comedy
4. Liev Schrieber for “Ray Donovan” in Lead Actor drama
5. “Twin Peaks” for Limited Series

SQ

Surprising. That would have been an easy nomination, especially given the show’s increased popularity and visibility. Bungled call on CNN’s part.

Favs: ISSA RAE, Vanessa Kirby, Yvonne Strahovski

Misses: Kenan Thompson, F. Murray Abraham, John Legend

Five most shocking/disappointing Emmy snubs?

18.

HBO was finally dethroned as nominations leader after 18 years by Netflix. This is huge news and a changing of the guard.

Savvy move on Tiffany Haddish’s part to submit herself for “SNL” when the show didn’t bother to give a damn. Winning will be tough with Tina Fey around, as she’s either winning outright or taking votes away from her.

Shocked that “Real Time with Bill Maher” is outta there with its standout season. Yay for Samantha Bee, I guess? Nice to see a woman finally here. Don’t think Trevor Noah needed to be included yet. “SNL” will easily repeat unless there is parting sentiment for “Portlandia.”

Trailer was great. Was more impressed by Robbie despite that unfortunate Red Queen makeup. That “your inferior?” line was stunning! I don’t know Mary’s story the way I know Elizabeth’s, so I’ll hold on response for Saoirse. It all felt a bit too “Joan of Arc”-ish television movie, but I’m excited to see this regardless.

I was expecting a posthumous nomination for Anthony Bourdain in Reality Host. No reason to cite Ellen or Jane for their lazy game-show hosting gigs when he was far more deserving. At least this kept Tom Bergeron out again too. “Rupaul’s Drag Race” continues to soar with increased nods, but so does “The Voice” sigh. Project Runway” should never be…[Read more]
