Hollywood professionals mostly defended the season, if they said anything. Like you said, the “professionals” calling it garbage came from the SJW angle, which in my view re just as valuable as the internet trolls.

The season 8 backlash, still, doesn’t indicate anything about the seventh season. And also, the “biggest backlash in TV history” is directly due to the fact its the most popular TV show in TV history, which might actually help it win since we are talking about professional industry people and not bitter teenage keyboard warriors.

Also, it’s true…[Read more]

Are they talking specifically about Actin categories? The were some of the more diverse last year

Also, last year had a much stronger competition.

GoT’s last season perhaps wasn’t perfect and not exactly what people expected but in my honest opinion it is actually better than any of the other shows competing this year. It’s not like the Crown or Westworld are competing. I hope Academy members will share the same sentiment, besides the huge…[Read more]

The season finale is brilliant!
Paul Giamatti is so damn good in this

Well done!!

How come Cherry Jones is first in Prediction center for Guest actress? I hope we are not getting this kind of anti-climax for the second year in a row

There is a difference though between somebody sitting on his laptop signing petitions to people who’ve done television and it’s their profession and know what was involved in creating such a season. I really hope they’ll pull through

Some bored dude on Twitter measured the words-per-minute ratio of each episode in GoT and the Long Night had the lowest ratio, like by far. It’s hardly surprising, but I think theoretically it would have been harder for them to win for this one than on the finale.
Also, Academy loves acknowledging series finales. And in my personal point of…[Read more]

I get this feeling too, but I still try to stay optimistic for Miguel. He absolutely deserves it and regardless of what o personally think of the episode, I don’t think it’s fair he’ll “suffer” because of the other aspects of it

I don’t think the backlash of GoT will affect it’s Creative Arts chances. At least I hope so.
Even the most petition-signing-juvenile haters like to always say the don’t have a problem with the crew of GoT but specifically with D&D. And fanboy things aside, I don’t think there is something that compares to it inVisual Effects, costume design,…[Read more]

Ramin Djawadi is literally the most important win of the night!!

Wow, seems like HBO learned from last year’s mistake and didn’t over-submit in the technical categories to avoid splitting.

Fingers crossed for D&D much deserving Writing and Directing nominations. I wouldn’t mind if they dropped Nutter this year.

Tomorrow the submitions are our?

I don’t know, when none of the contenders is a returning series you can’t really know how the Academy reacts, it’s like every few months people think another show is a lock to win this.
My personal vote if I had one would be Sharp Objects (even though I know this one particularly has one of the lower chances among the nominees), but I’m all in for…[Read more]

Now when I think about it, I don’t have the smallest clue which Limited Series will win this year, not even who is the frontrunner. It can go either way. Don’t even know how to rank my nominations.

It’s a very interesting category once ACS is not around

Actually her still being first in the prediction center worries me a little bit, since such a few changed their prediction after actually watching the season.
I’d LOVE her to win, I was even “campaigning” for he in my signature here a few weeks back, but given the material she got this season and the fact the Academy doesn’t really like her in…[Read more]
