Patiently waiting for a magazine or website to show some courage and make some inspired and original picks. It’s probably going to be The Quietus…

Caligula – Lingua Ignota

Also many others of your picks were great, but I was particularly pleased to see these three here!

Loud City Song, Julia Holter
Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

Internally debating whether Ghosteen is even better than Skeleton Tree. Anyway, this “old white dude” named Nick Drake is confirming himself as one of the most essential artists of our time, decade after decade.

Beside the fact that I dislike many choices from these lists, which is perfectly debatable, I really don’t understand why publish this kind of ranking now. There are still three months left and many great albums will be undeservedly left out.

The good thing is that there’s such an amount of great performances here that it will be difficult to end up with bad nominations. At worst, we’ll have okay nominees.
Since mafro987 and Reis (two of my favourite posters here, not by chance!) already mentioned Eva Green and Gillian Anderson (for Hannibal), if you watched You’re the Worst and decide to spend a vote for someone who’ll never get recognized, support Aya Cash and her monumental work during the past five years!

I don’t think these awards are flawless by any mean (see the expected and sad GoT triumph in drama), but overall I think we did better than in other editions: I find Fleabag to be overrated, but still a good show; Comer is a lot of fun; two wins for The Good Place are nice; I also liked Clarkson win in Limited Supporting Actress (I don’t understand the critics against her performance).
I assume we’re going to be better than the Emmys this time around.

Out of curiosity, it’s not sure that twenty-one pilots will be submitted in Alternative Album, is it? I really hope they won’t contaminate the category.

Italy has revealed the shortlist: The Traitor, Martin Eden, Piranhas (La paranza dei bambini), Romulus & Remus: The First King and The Vice of Hope. I think it’s between The Traitor and Martin Eden, with the former being more likely than the latter. Unless Piranhas surprises.

Marco, these are so great! Considered the first and third for my own list.

And, I won’t lie, my list was almost:
Kim Min-hee, Right Now, Wrong Then
Kim Min-hee, On the Beach at Night Alone
Kim Min-hee, The Day After

That would have been a great list as well 🙂 thanks, nice as always!
