If Zendaya has her own passionate group of voters that make the ball start rolling for her to win, she very well can. Tatiana Maslany similarly overcame that defecit over vets due to the passion that was built up for her.

Maybe it sounds miniscule, but Reese, excellent as she was, played a very unlikable, prejudiced character. Kerry’s character was flawed but there was an empathetic angle towards her and given that she has better Emmy history, voters naturally gravitated more towards checking her name off and not Reese’s.

I think that could also be a reason for…[Read more]

The tea is Blanchett might not even be 2nd. Shira Haas has a very sympathetic and baity performance with Unorthodox overperforming.

Ullman, but not really loving any of these three. Smart is the best.

This actually makes her nomination impressive since none of these things have hindered her. She is certainly a dark horse.

So people bitched about Octavia being such a “terrible” nomination for Self Made and yet she made it here BEFORE the nominations? And who is still watching Outlander? Y’all can’t make this up.

FWIW, I do think Zendaya is more competitive for a win than people think. Passion is there.

Goldderby has always been a place for racists to log in and out whenever they want to but over the past few years, it has become a cesspool of that racist bullshit and I don’t know why. Maybe ’cause the mods don’t give a shit and just let anyone pop in and out.

It’s just hilarious to me that the same ones defending the white sheen of Oscar/BAFTA…[Read more]

I attest to this but it is nonetheless impressive that Zendaya was able to get in for an explicit, divisive show that came out last summer and beat heavyweights for the nom. She’s also immensely showy and has many clips (the breakdown begging her friend to let her in his house, her “detective” schtick that shows a comedic edge) so, in a way, I…[Read more]

Rose Byrne’s snub is perplexing but, at the same time, not that shocking. She never had a big moment that allowed her to explode (which is dumb but Emmy logic) and she was very laid back. Her performance just didn’t resonate with voters and they went with the easiest names. Sarah Paulson’s snub was simply because they didn’t get through the rest…[Read more]

Isn’t the writing nom for “Shirley”? Funny, that was written by a black woman.

I think Blanchett can still win but she’s not an undeniable freight train like others who have steamrolled have been. Mrs. America getting less noms than Hollywood showed how they truly felt about it.

These noms are such a DELICIOUS FUCKING KIII!!!

First off, Watchmen is sweeping. Like, the race is over at this point. Mrs. America and Unbelievable performing the way they did lmfaoooo. I told a lot of y’all to stop letting what you love cloud your predictions. TCA nom for Kaitlyn Dever didn’t mean shit for her (like I said it wouldn’t) but some…[Read more]

Yeah as a possible spoiler but Linney was never considered the frontrunner. It was always Sandra Oh with Jodie Comer right on her heels.

As far as Laura Dern goes, Shailene Woodley being nominated didn’t matter. Dern had the bigger performance and was cited at all the precursors, so people were predicting either her or Regina King. American…[Read more]

In this particular case, it kind of does. Other than its ratings, wasn’t the main case for it, in fact, its critical acclaim? Yes, it only got 11 reviews but there was still acclaim regardless and the fact that it missed TCA completely shows its weakness in the race. It’s not making it.

No she isn’t because a) she isn’t getting in the GF categories and b) there is no case for Chromatica being ahead of Hollywood’s Bleeding. And the “goodwill from ASIB wins” does not stretch to the lack of longevity from Chromatica.

Lmfao, not really? If we’re basing this all on acclaim, then Fiona Apple would be her strongest competitor and someone the alternative branch would go for and vote for in AOTY before rewarding Taylor a 3rd. She has zero narrative to allow her to be undeniable for a 3rd win here (and when they have denied black artists who have had multiple…[Read more]

Post Malone is fine. Gaga needed acclaim and great sales/longevity to get a win in Pop Vocal and neither of those things happened. It can be a three-horse race between Post, Taylor, and Harry all having strong cases. I think Dua is out of it for the win unless Folklore is hugely forgotten by the end of the year.

I don’t think Taylor wins AOTY,…[Read more]

I can’t with me actually defending Taylor. One of the toughest things I’ve had to do on here and proves how backwards 2020 is, chile.

Pure sales, I think she’ll keep up. Longevity…..we’ll see. I don’t see it being a streaming titan like the others.
