Something giving me pause about D’Arcy Carden is that they never nominated Nick Offerman, who was the standout supporting performer from a previous Michael Schur sitcom that scored major Emmy nominations.

This is one snub I’ll never understand.

Ugh, I will never forget this. Definitely one of the worst award show losses in recent memory.

Not sure where all this confidence in Sarah Paulson is coming from. That category is going to be stacked.

Given how prominently he’s been featured so far in flashbacks, etc. I am wondering if Skaarsgard is getting a follow-up nod.

Enjoyed the premiere well enough but didn’t get a clear sense of where the actual plot is heading. Definitely worth a second look, though. I don’t see this as an awards contender, really. Maybe some Globes love but I’d be hesitant to predict even that.

The reviews for this have been much stronger than I had anticipated, particularly when taking into account that this type of show is not at all in vogue in the moment. I may check out if I have the time, but it feels like a commitment. Bacon is a Globes possibility for sure.

I still can’t see Jessie Buckley in the predictions centre. I do think she’s in contention for a nomination now so she should be added as soon as possible.

Re-posting this for emphasis.

I do not see the relevance of acting wins under the tape system.

Not sure if this was in reference to my Heigl/Garner comparison but it really only strengthens my argument if you take that Heigl win away.

Again, who’s the viable alternative?

Show me one winner in this category that resembles a performer like Williams. She doesn’t fit the trend.

She is a filler and more people actually complained about how season 3 saw a drop in quality without CK’s involvement.

This is objectively untrue.

Emmy voters don’t always think in season-specific ways…I don’t know why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.

Ask Ben Mendehlson.

Headey is still out front until someone presents me with a viable argument for an alternative because I still haven’t heard one.

I can absolutely imagine Garner winning this. She has so much working in her favor, it’s crazy.

She just is so young, though, she really doesn’t fit the profile of the category.

The best comparison I can really think of would be Katherine Heigl but she was a budding star at that point in her career. Garner has been popping up all over the place on TV and is well regarded by avid TV-watchers and industry people but I don’t believe that her name recognition is sufficient enough to justify a Heigl-style win.

I am just not seeing her winning the category.

What do you all think about Gwendoline Christie’s chances?

I am very confident in her chances. I actually think she’s ahead of both Williams and Turner.

Not to re-engage the endless and boring back-and-forth GOT debate, but I would suggest that her scenes in Episode 2 were some of the most universally loved of the season, maybe the only aspect that was universally loved. Plus, voters still heavily favor adult actors.
