`I don’t think she’s THAT low. She’s in the TOP 8 and the only person ahead of her who shouldn’t be ahead of her is Selena Gomez. And if she gets in then who gets snubbed ? The current top 6 makes so much sense.
The thing is: The Great is probably filler, so I think Hoult (who is in a less competitive category) has more chance than Fanning. The Great could get a Series nom as a 7th, 8th spot (I’m having trouble with those) and still wouldn’t be surprised if she missed.
I dropped Russian Doll and slotted Cobra Kai… Probably a bad call.
ReplyMay 17, 2022 at 4:30 am #1204954487I honestly don’t see how Dopesick can win over The White Lotus. Please don’t point out GG or CC, it was the same argument last year for Small Axe scoring acting noms which I knew wouldn’t happen.
IMDB
Dopesick: 8.6
The White Lotus: 7.6The White Lotus hasn’t won a single industry award (lost DGA to Hacks and WGA to Mare of Easttown). The show is divisive. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand.
ReplyMay 16, 2022 at 5:34 pm #1204954135Not sure enough people will be interested in watching The Staircase in time for it to get in Series.
ReplyMay 15, 2022 at 12:41 pm #1204952860I agree with everything in that article. It’s either a Smart repeat or someone new, like Brunson or Lancaashire. I’m trending towards the former because she’s also the creator. Cuoco’s performance is win worthy this season, but the show is still divisive.
For Julia I think Bebe Neuwirth is more likely than Hyde Pierce (if it gets a Supporting bom), because:
1) Supporting Actress is way more open. In Supporting Actor you have 3 Barry guys, Ted Lasso guys, Tony Shalhoub, Kenan and Bowen and Tyree Henry who I think is the safest performer of Atlanta2) Just like The Kominsky Method was more appealing to older male voters (I’m saying with zero proof) I think Julia will appeal to older female voters and Bebe plays a more friendly character to that demographic.
ReplyMay 15, 2022 at 5:25 am #1204952552Well, Yellowstone did get a SAG Ensemble nom so it will probably get acting noms. I just don’t see who would be ahead of whom in this situation. Lead Actor looks packed for Costner to get in unless Odenkirk gets snubbed again. Kelly Reilly in Lead is a weird choice, but they wouldn’t do it if they didn’t believe she could happen there.
Jacki Weaver is probably a lock in Guest.
ReplyMay 14, 2022 at 6:50 pm #1204952180That scene on Episode 2 was a masterpiece of directing and writing, and Einbinder/Smart were terrific on it.
And I also loved the way they concluded the big conflict so quickly. Another show would drag it throughout the whole season. The writers understand the character of Deborah Vance perfectly.
ReplyMay 13, 2022 at 5:23 pm #1204951375Maid is the only show in contention that breaks the TV bubble, and also (along with Dopesick) speaks to the current political climate on USA.
The least we can do to say 🙏🏾🙏🏾for your incredible work as you advocate for domestic workers, for the child tax credit and against violence against women. Your story has inspired millions through your book and through the show, Maid. ✊🏾✊🏾 https://t.co/uzswasxskn

I have no proof and I hope I don’t sound too cynical, but the recent shenanigans by the Supreme Court and Texas/Arizona could make the show even more relevant and bring it back to the conversation.
ReplyMay 13, 2022 at 10:26 am #1204951105Broken should be taken seriously. Neon acquired it, it has a director from a movie that was already nominated (Shoplifters), it has Song Kang Ho and will probably be awards friendly.
Hirokazu Kore-eda rises
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 1:12 pm #1204950275The This is Us stans being the most annoying stans around here wasn’t on my bingo. And they act like it’s a Succession level of awards success and critical acclaim.
People were predicting Melanie Lynskey way before the critics choice win. It’s just a mix of the show being well liked, widely seen and the goodwill/buzz she has in industry. I don’t think the show will get in, but she could make it
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 7:26 am #1204949939Damn, that’s the worst score that an HBO’s show has ever got.
It’s not actually. The Leisure Class got a 25. Did anyone here watched that movie ?
Definitely not surprised by The Time Traveler’s Wife score. The trailer was awful, Theo James is the lead and the premise was awful. I know it’s based on a book, but people need to understand that not everything that works in a book will work on TV/Film. They made a movie with Rachel McAdams and it got 38% on RT and 47 on Metacritic
ReplyMay 12, 2022 at 5:16 am #1204949779The Guardian review is easily among the worst reviews I’ve ever read. It may be right, but it was awfully written.
ReplyMay 11, 2022 at 6:54 pm #1204949473Conversations With Friends opens with 73 on Metacritic
It’s on 70 now

May 10, 2022 at 11:53 am #1204948364Did you see tweets about Severance getting more than 50k likes or retweets? No. But there are plenty about Abbott.
Yeah, because that’s always great clue of which show is more popular with “general audiences”, lol.
Compare their IMDB numbers, then. Skews to a specific demographic, yes, but so does Twitter.
It’s just ridiculous comparing both shows when no one knows what’s popular or not outside of the internet bubble.
ReplyMay 10, 2022 at 5:01 am #1204947979Well that’s on you because Abbott Elementary is definitely much buzzier and talked about by the GP than Severance
How would you know that ? Are you surveying people on the street ?
