Bimboy, thanks for the list. I thought that group included 4 people – I missed Maureen Stapleton and Paul Newman. It’s a shame Newman didn’t win that Tony.

Mark Rylance returning to the category he won 5 years ago would be like underlining that he’s still well liked and that his win wasn’t a fluke. In the last 10 years (sans the most recent one, ofc) Waltz, Bale, Plummer, Ali and Rockwell all returned, while Leto, Simmons and Rylance have yet to do it. I think Rylance will this year and Simmons will…[Read more]

I don’t know about narration but perhaps yes and the other ones are certainly acting awards even if I don’t think, for example, Hugh Jackman or Neil Patrick Harris winning for hosting award shows should count here.

Primetime Emmy is the one that counts. Daytime Emmys are mentioned but with an asterisk. It happens more in EGOT discussion,…[Read more]

Fingers crossed for her. She really deserves to be in this group.

72nd Primetime Emmy Awards didn’t change much in terms of Triple Crown of Acting with the exception of Tony winner Billy Crudup being 2/3 on his way after winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for “The Morning Show”.

“The Hunt” was among the best nominees in this category last decade. I’m interested in watching their next collaboration. 🙂

Deanna Durbin & Eric Dane

You’d think that Paweł Pawlikowski winning Best Director for “Cold War”, in retrospect, paved the way for him to be in the running for Best Director Oscar nomination which he eventually got in that wide open field.

Good on Poland for being the first to submit. That bodes well for the quality of the film. I’m happy to see it in competition in…[Read more]

There’s already a movie, did you know? Who’s gonna be better than Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman?

I had my reservations about the plot but it was a good miniseries. Still believe – unlike with “The Runaway Jury” – it could be a pretty amazing motion picture. The main plus of the miniseries is the fact that it’s (nearly) the same ending as in…[Read more]

I think it’s the only show that filled all available spots in any Emmy acting category:

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series 1982:
Tauren Blacque as Det. Neal Washington
Michael Conrad as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus* (also won in 1981)
Charles Heid as Officer Andy Renko
Michael Warren as Officer Bobby Hill
Bruce Weitz as Det. Mick Belker

For that alone I…[Read more]

Thanks. I hadn’t seen it.

A majority of productions is currently shut down due to pandemic. Which shows will air new episodes to compete in the next Emmy eligibity cycle? I know about “The Crown” season 4 being ready for late 2020 but what else, really?

Yeah, I kept waiting for that to happen and it didn’t. First Wendy didn’t tell Charlotte that it was Wyatt who prevented them from getting Zeke from Darlene which I think she would be pretty interested in. Then there was not even a reaction shot of Charlotte when Wyatt showed up with Darlene at the big night. Given how important Charlotte/Wyatt…[Read more]

For what?

That’s demoralizing and pretty much explains a lot of nominations and exlucions.

^^Yep, it is. I thought so, Ivo. That’s why I don’t have Twitter (among other reasons).
