Someone with more time please dig up the old thread where there were multiple pages of people laughing at my prediction that Gossett Jr. could win. I’ll wait. 🙂

And she wasn’t a campy bitch in the novel either. So what’s your point?

Oh, so he just made another season of AHS.

I don’t think I see any shred of a connection to the original character or film – thematically, tonally, or otherwise.

Disappointing.

I’d say Adlon is the least impressive.

Really? I’d say the opposite.

I feel like I change my drama actress lineup daily.

Goldderby on the whole watches way more television (and generally has better taste) than the academy and our nominations often reflect that – would be wary of reading too much into it.

The presenters get snubbed more often than not so wouldn’t go changing my predictions quite yet…

They never go for mainstream Hollywood starlets when they host though.

They go for former cast members and other assorted funny ladies.

You’re sort of ignoring the primary reason that TGF hasn’t gotten any nominations thus far: CBS All Access. The comparison to Schitt’s Creek makes no sense. Nothing about that situation has changed so nothing will change for the show either.

not exactly a great actor,

And I’m disputing this point.

He kind of makes me think of Phoebe Waller-Bridge in that regard.

Dan Levy has never approached the emotion, pathos, or nuance regularly achieved by PWB in Fleabag – c’mon now, I know Schitt’s Creek is a nice, funny sitcom but people are really starting to exaggerate its ambitions.

I don’t really have an issue with the recording being eligible in the program category so much as the performances. I really think it would be bizarre to award the Hamilton performances at the Emmys.

Not to drag the conversation down again but the misguided idea that transformation = good acting is exactly why we’ve gotten Oscar winners like Bohemian Rhapsody, Judy, and Darkest Hour as of late so while I can’t agree with the sentiment, many industry voters obviously do think that way.

Not here for this Smith-Cameron erasure. She certainly had material, particularly in the second season – she didn’t have “nothing to do,” she is one of the most prominent supporting characters. Comparing the size of her role to Abbass is ridiculous.

I really hope Better Things can pull through in writing and directing, even if it ends up missing series in the end.
