Nice to see Crazy Ex-GF take one of these. The show was honestly pretty uneven for me (full disclosure I only watched 1.5 seasons) but I almost always found the musical numbers to be clever and well put together.

Naturally, this type of this would make me very wary but given how well Gilligan has done with BCS I am pretty confident this is going to be successful.

Big year ahead for Paul. Seems like a safe bet for at least one more Emmy nomination, if not two or three.

My only thought is if we are underestimating this size of his Westworld role and he…[Read more]

Man, I am less down on the final season than most but God this whole scene/arc was terrible.

Really wish they hadn’t deviated so much from the books with all the Greyjoy stuff (I guess this could be said for most things…)

Does anyone else think that the Morning Show could actually turn out to be a massive flop?

Even though it was somewhat soft in its nomination haul, I actually think that this is the holdover most likely to keep its spot next year among the onslaught of heavy hitters.

Really strong premiere. Would be a worthy contender for both writing and directing and Snook and Strong, in particular, were standouts among the actors.

Same. I think all the talk of a vote split is being way over blown.

I honestly don’t think this race is close at all .

Those GLOW numbers are essentially speculation. No one knows Netflix numbers except Netflix.

@Luca what makes you unsure of a Borstein repeat?

Based on what exactly?

I think it’s more than a little bit ironic to shame someone for staging an Emmy campaign on the forums of an awards website.

Not surprised that it’s missing eligibility but glad that we have confirmation that it will definitely be back. I was a bit worried that Season 3 might never materialize.

I think shooting back to back is smart because I suspect this may be all we get.

Curious to say how its continued absence next year (along with Veep, Fleabag, others) affects…[Read more]

The first line of the series is about having a wide asshole…

I mean there’s no disputing that it lost steam but it’s a question of degree. Still not entirely convinced it lost enough steam to fall out of the first position – especially when I feel that there are three viable alternatives in Fleabag, Barry, and MMM that may split the non-Veep support.

I keep seeing this stated as fact around here and I really don’t agree.

Damn, the abundance of bad taste in this thread is astonishing for an awards site.

The Leftovers – especially for Carrie Coon and Justin Theroux
Nick Offerman for Parks and Rec
Oscar Isaac for Show Me A Hero

Too many to mention, really.

Not here for the besmirching of the good name of Cara Buono

I know this is from a few pages back but, with respect to the comparisons between Veep and Mad Men, small detail missing here is that Mad Men had been on a losing streak for years before its final season whereas Veep won for its last eligible season.

I know this does not entirely erase the sting of missing a directing nomination but just wanted…[Read more]

Seriously – where is this talk about Williams being a contender for the win coming from? She would be a pretty dramatic deviation from the history of this category.

I can’t say that she’s a strong front runner, but I still think that Headey has the strongest case for the win. I honestly don’t think there will be much vote splitting in the end.

Stranger Things isn’t as strong as GOT where this would pay off in any meaningful way.

Outside of an unexpected guest nomination at some point, I am doubtful that any cast members outside of MBB and Harbour ever get nominated.

Not nominating it in this dire year for the category really shows out little visibility it had among voters, unfortunately. King Lear?
