Count me in for a vote for “How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?” from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I too was a little mixed on the season as a whole but thought the writing (and directing) for the final was fantastic

I started to really look at the Lead Actress category for a blog post and I don’t feel like anyone besides Jean Smart is an absolute lock to get nominated?

Like I could see scenarios where Cuoco, Brosnahan, Brunson or any of the other “frontrunners” miss.

I wanna drop the Killing Eve ladies for Whiterspoon and Moore, but the fact she couldn’t get in last year is giving me pause. Was Moore completely absent from the season or she just didn’t get enough material?

She (Mandy Moore, not the character) was pregnant last season and had very little to do in an uneven season. This whole season has been way better in general and has been a huge showcase for her.

I apologize for asking this because I know I read it somewhere – but all older Yellowjackets actresses are competing in Lead and all younger ones are competing in Supporting, right?

Modern Family winning five times in a row is the clearest example for me. It’s a little boring to have something win that many times in a row but I could have lived with it if the show was deserving. It’s third season win was questionable and winning for seasons four and especially five was unconscionable.

Good God, they didn’t even know how to handle the regulars they had this season.

Wow, Winning Time was in 10th place in the predictions center (in number of votes) a month ago, and since its debut, it has dropped to 15th place (it’s now placed after Severance, This is Us, Stranger Things, Bridgerton and Pachinko).

I’ve enjoyed Winning Time so far but it feels like that show has lost buzz since it started airing.

With regards to The White Lotus news, I agree that it is inconsistent with what they have done for AHS (unless Coolidge is a guest for S2 and not a regular). But I do feel like it is in the spirit of the rule. It is an athology series without question. It belongs here.

Precisely. There’s no doubt these shows are popular enough for them to get nominated in series and they can definitely do well above the line. It’s just difficult to predict this category when none of them are attracting widespread audience buzz at this point (like most first season nominees in this category have tended to do). They’re popular, are prestigious shows and are on HBO but none of them are massive water-coolers.

 

I hear what you’re saying but I feel like Euphoria was the definition of a water cooler show if you have young people working in your workplace. I do and a lot of them were actually watching live or same day which is pretty unheard of in that demographic

I do think they need to have a strong ending to the season.

Several critics who have seen the whole thing have said it picks up quite a bit towards the end of the season. I love it but I hope they are right on that because I wouldn’t mind just a little bit faster pacing.

I enjoyed the first episode. I like the stylized nature of it. I was skeptical of the talking to the camera bits at first but that worked for the most part for me. The cast is uniformly strong so far. The show does a great job of really putting us in the time period. I’ll be curious to see what future episodes directed by someone other than Adam McKay look like.

Just finished this one yesterday. Julia Garner was super interesting. I’m not sure if it was a great performance or not, but it was definitely interesting. Agreed that the framing was horrific. I just could not bring myself to care about the angle they were taking and even though Anna Chlumsky did a nice job, I just wanted to skip over scenes that didn’t involved Garner. Overall, it was a very bloated miss. A tight and bright five or six episodes, or at least episodes that were not 80 mins, might have helped a lot. There was not enough story to tell in nine very long episodes.

It’s interesting that Abbott Elementary has sort of taken the “broadcast comedy is back” mantle out from under the nose of “Ghosts”

The reality is both are great but if one is gonna break through at the Emmys, it seems likely to be Abbott at this point. Couple those two standouts with solid entries in American Auto and The Wonder Years and this has been a great year for new broadcast comedies.

I’m all in on this show. I get the Homecoming comparisons but I already like this WAY more. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
