It will not be eligible for the Foreign Language Film Oscar.

A theatrical release in Mexico by 30 September 2018, for a minimum 1 week qualifying run.

I highly doubt Netflix will release their prime Awards contender in one country 3 months before its actual worldwide release date.

Which means YOU didn’t watch the episodes. Your selection for Outstanding Limited Series confirms it.

I hope next year they introduce a multiple choice quiz to see if voters really watched submitted episodes.

Ryan Murphy eye candy always brings out all the fanboys……. to the Murphy commune….to convince themselves the talented Brits ain’t gonna succeed.

Her Royal Highness, Claire Foy. No performance on television the past year comes close to what she was able to achieve in Season 2 as a whole. And for her to go Emmy-less for this role (and that performance) would be a travesty.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

6 consecutive nominations in this category alone, the second most ever. And 1 win.

“Patrick Melrose” was critically acclaimed, Cumberbatch’s performance was universally lauded, and the miniseries could very well win lauded British novelist and screenwriter David Nicholls the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a…[Read more]

Why? They nominate what is on offer, and there is nothing wrong with the nominees this year. Not every year will have an Olive Kitteridge and Big Little Lies.

Godless is superb television to many people, whether you agree or not. Hence its many nominations. So are the other nominees.

I don’t see anyone complaining about Ryan Murphy’s annual…[Read more]

Guest Actor in a Drama Series
Ron Cephas Jones vs F Murray Abraham

They almost always go for the veteran actor who has worked in the industry for a long time.

– F Murray Abraham’s nomination could be attributed to his 2017 critically acclaimed performance in Homeland, for which he was not nominated last year. The Emmys sometimes try and make up…[Read more]

Enough with the Laura Dern and Regina King talk. None of them are winning the Emmy. The same way Cicely Tyson didn’t win the Emmy.

In the past 18 years, Laura Linney and Judy Davis are the only two actresses to have won this category without their films/series getting nominations from other tech/craft branches, especially the all important…[Read more]

Sorry about that.
As much as i love Lady Bird, critics have really tainted it for me.

Critics and their biased manner of treating awards and acclaim for certain films has bugged me for years. That’s why i absolutely love it when televised awards turn everything on its head. The King’s Speech year was one for the history books, and my all time…[Read more]

Oh please. I don’t see anyone throwing darts at Rain Man and Gladiator for having 65 or 67 on Metacritic. So it is obviously not about Metacritic.

Thank you. It’s crazy how CRAZY Lady Bird and Get Out has made people. What is it about those two films that make seasoned and expert Oscar pundits lose sight of statistics and how awards work?

Peele and Gerwig make films, and suddenly certain strong stats that are DECADES OLD will break just to accomodate a win for them. And certain stats…[Read more]

Yep. First year where i am fully supporting the industry’s snub of these critics darlings….and going for something daring, controversial and bold.

Oh please. The only reason CRASH is “the worst Best Picture winner ever” is because it beat critics darling Brokeback Mountain.

Now Three Billboards is in the same boat. Even though Lady Bird would be the most unsatisfying and ridiculous winner ever. It has nothing to say, it has been done before and it is paint by the numbers. It doesn’t speak…[Read more]

Good luck to Fox Searchlight’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri & The Shape of Water!

Show ’em how it’s done!
