I remember saying this when season 3 came out but all I want is an episode (perhaps the penultimate one) where all three queens appear on screen together. I don’t care if it’s out there, I want the actressing.

On first listen, loving the new Janelle Monae album

I was gonna just leave it at that but so many thoughts:

– I can’t believe they actually got Simu Liu. And he was lowkey great??
– The ADR stuff killed me and Lusia Strus deserves a guest nom.
– Molly Shannon delivered. Even though she wouldn’t be able to submit it, I’d love to see her get nominated if voters saw this.
– The whole set up of the fake Applebys was a work of art, from the “peas and carrots” to the extra shitting herself when Pam tried to pay to the waitress who was determined to make her aware. Honestly, chef’s kiss.
– As for the Cary storyline, Kelly and Schneider write arguments so incredibly realistically. Brandon Scott Jones also nailed his big moment.
– Ann Dowd! Because why not!

This was GENIUS. I am almost devastated that it wasn’t Emmy eligible.

Ben Whishaw’s recent rapid ascent in the odds makes me feel even more pessimistic about his chances

I’m actually predicting him but more because I’m like who else? Don’t really think he’ll get in though as doubt voters have seen it

I think this year’s drama actress category reminds me a lot of limited/movie actress last year.

I agree with your comps except that I think Moss as Paulson lines up better. She’s a former nominee on a show that they used to really love but will still have watched. Like Paulson, she’s also someone that the Emmys clearly like but has missed before.

Your reminder about the Toni Collette nom has also kind of boosted my confidence in my predictions because I also think Keri Russell is the best comp to her as both are relatively big names in spring releases that are popcorn fare with high visibility. I do think you’re so right to raise the question as to whether this kind of performance necessarily gets in on a restricted ballot, which is what has me leaning more and more towards Horgan.

Holy moley you guys are next level. May I ask, if you have rated a few episodes of a season, does that mean you decided to stop watching because of the quality?

For me it usually means I am in the process of watching (so right now that is The Diplomat, Transatlantic and The Other Two). The only show I gave up on this season was AHS: NYC

Yes it’s here

somewhere down the pipeline someone decided prestige = men.

What? That’s not it. If anything, the show doesn’t seem Emmys because it feels tonally akin to something like Designated Survivor which was very male orientated.

Have only watched one episode of The Diplomat but already feeling less confident in Keri Russell than I was prior to watching. The show does not feel very Emmys at all and the performance isn’t yet seeming the type to make it in on its own.

Oh, I get that – I wasn’t necessarily talking about buzz, but more the FYC around it – in particular Staunton.

I feel like Staunton can miss sure but I‘m also aware that’s coming from the same part of my brain that didn’t ever really consider Colman winning. Overall, I think it would be more possible if Actress wasn’t lacking strong contenders generally.

The Crown is safe. It’s the kind of show that will overperform compared to expectations rather than the other way around. Like Downton used to because the show’s demo is more reflected amongst Emmy voters than it is amongst forums or twitter.

I think it goes to show that the critics are much more lenient on shows created by and starring people who have been involved in shows they’ve loved than those created by and starring people who haven’t.

Literally. If Ryan Murphy had made this it would be in the red on Metacritic
