+1 for all the Mr. Robot S4 and Rami Malek praise. Its days in the Emmy sun are clearly over but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it show up in a few random techs as it has the past few seasons. It is absolutely one of the best crafted shows on television – direction, cinematography, music, editing, I could go on – and its lack of recognition is one…[Read more]

This basically indicates to me that they couldn’t get anyone else.

Hosting a big awards show used to be a point of prestige and now it’s toxic.

STOP THIS MADNESS.

I cannot deal with ANOTHER reboot.

I am curious about this myself. I have not read the comic nor seen the Snyder movie but caught up with a recap of what seems to be the major points of the original story before the series premiere. I honestly felt like that was sufficient to give me grounding in the story but not sure if other Watchmen novices will feel the same.

(Also FYI…[Read more]

I think the show will have its fans but I just don’t see it being popular enough to break into the acting races beyond Regina King. I’d love to be wrong, though, and who knows with the Globes. They always have at least one WTF pick and Smart would be as good a bet as anyone.

No.

Maybe a decade ago when there was more space but the competition is just way too stacked nowadays for this type of performer/performance to get in.

I doubt that Euphoria really gets in anywhere although some of its techs certainly deserve it, especially cinematography and music supervision. I just don’t think that many Emmy voters will…[Read more]

Since when has quality mattered to the Globes, at least in terms of first year shows?.

Yeah, after middling reviews were posted. Rookie mistake.

Found this to be pretty disappointing overall – very rushed. I am not sure that there is really room for this to even be a tech player. Enjoyed Keene but don’t see her performance as awards worthy. Wilson and McAvoy were having fun hamming it up but these are not awards performances. Might check back in later in the season if consensus is that the…[Read more]

Stranger Things will continue to be strong in overall nominations but it is not picking up any additional acting noms so the speculation is pointless.

I disagree. I don’t think Watchmen is going to make any acting plays outside of Regina King.

LOL you are being too generous

LOl what are you talking about – this is the slate that Apple chose to introduce its platform to the world. It is perfectly appropriate to judge them on that basis as that was their own intention. The Morning Show is their star player. I know it’s a distant memory at this point but, for example, House of Cards was Netflix’ marquee vehicle for…[Read more]

Well, the Emmys have embraced shows with middling critical responses in the past (TIU, Ozark, etc.) but those shows’ lack of critical praise was counter-balanced with popularity. I just don’t see Apple+ having enough subscribers for TMS to reach the requisite level of popularity to overcome meh reviews. I think that it is especially bad news that…[Read more]

Sooo….can we get a Lena Headey guest arc so she can finally win an Emmy?

Fair point. With this many contenders there are definitely going to be some big name snubs regardless.

I almost wouldn’t be surprised to see an entirely new lineup from last year: Colman, Kidman, Witherspoon, Moss, King, Wood…it could totally happen.

Schitt’s Creek isn’t coming close to winning series

Oh for sure – visibility is not going to be an issue for BLL at all.

Again, do not agree with this point at all. You can continue to state your opinion as fact but that won’t make it true.

With respect to the IMDB score, i think that it is rather obvious that a show focusing on race relations and police brutality with a WOC lead would be downvoted automatically by trolls.

Regarding ratings and visibility, I…[Read more]

Gotta disgree on that one.

Drama actress is stacked this year there’s not denying that but I still think she stands a good chance, even if the show doesn’t do well overall.

This is a combo I didn’t know I needed until now.
