Wouldn’t say he’s a lock but the Emmys have given Paul three wins for this role. Jesse Pinkman is clearly a favorite and in a pretty open category I just don’t see Paul missing.

Big names in blah TV Movies miss all the time so Jackman is on pretty thin ice to me (Pacino comes to mind, and his movie actually got some traction).

Having such a newcomer with no name recognition win in this category would be pretty unprecedented, even if he is giving an impressive performance in a series front runner. Corey Stoll in season one of HOC comes to mind…

That said, I am still pretty stumped.

I think I will keep Banks in as a placeholder just for now and wait until I see how…[Read more]

For those predicting a Morning Show under performance like myself, who do you have winning supporting actor?

I honestly cannot even follow this Colman argument anymore.

Look, some people liked her performance, some didn’t. Some thought she suffered in comparison to Foy, some didn’t.

She’s in the mix to win but may not make it past Aniston (if you’re buying that argument) or Linney.

Please let’s move on!!

Murphy getting his hands on a cinematic classic is tragedy enough – let’s not compare it to AHS.

I mean….maybe among teenagers (and those that date them). Not to Emmy voters.

There’s also the off chance that Netflix just doesn’t have a strong pony this year and ends up sitting out the category completely – I don’t think that this has happened since they started making originals, though.

With that in mind, of its known slate, Dead to Me and Kominsky Method seem like their best shots (which is saying a lot) so I think…[Read more]

Not that this stat really means anything but Fleabag only has 65K votes months and months after its series win. Clearly, being a “blockbuster” is not necessary to win the top prize.

For example, I would love to see the number of IMDB ratings for Mad Men season one, a tiny, intellectual arthouse show on a random cable network…that took series…[Read more]

I am actually really liking the individual focus of each episode on one or two of the main players. It is giving a structure to the season that was lacking in the early run of season 2.

This was another really strong entry for me – great performances all around and that production design is truly out of this world gorgeous. The score was also…[Read more]

That opens up a lot of space. Going to have to re-configure a lot of things now as I essentially had this as the nomination runner up to Watchmen. Good news for your fave Unbelievable, though.

Is the Undoing out? I see it’s been removed from the predictions center. If so, that’s big.

Do we?

@forardswill

There’s always a first!

I understand she has a strong chance and I may end up adding her in the end – just not convinced as of now. I am waiting to see how Apple plays the campaign, given that this is their first go-around.

I am, somewhat controversially, not even predicting Aniston to be nominated tbh.

I think Linney has to now be considered the frontrunner, no?

LOL I support the Seehorn stanning.

Let’s not police which predictions/performers are allowed to be discussed and which aren’t.

That said, I’ve been burned too many times to predict her again after last year.

Well, my apologies. These are weird times – let’s not fight.

Assuming that was aimed at me – not really calling you a “hater” or hating on your post – I feel like I’ve been posting here long enough for you to know that I respect your opinion and prognostication skills.

Personally, I just feel that there’s only so much time in this world and so much content – why waste it on something you’re obviously not…[Read more]

If he’s missing the first three episodes, there’s no way they are still going to run Harris in lead, right?

I am still on the fence with Wright in terms of placement. I really want to squeeze him into my lead actor lineup but not sure who to take out (and I don’t want to lose my 100/1 odds on Paul).

I would say that, in other circumstances, now…[Read more]

Stubbs was clearly revealed as a host in the finale.

Sizemore isn’t “back from the dead” – he was part of the simulation Cirac was running to try to squeeze info out of Maeve.

Again, not really seeing anything especially new or confusing here.
