I have to agree about King, because I actually just watched Beale Street. She’s amazing as she always is, and she has that big scene towards the beginning and several in the final third, but it’s not a performance I’d shower with awards. Again, it’s not the quality of the performance or her screen time that bothered me – though she’s barely in the movie – I just wanted more, idk.

Seeing these two win on Emmy night would be the best thing ever. Just imagine their reactions… they’d be so shocked. I guess I can at least dream.

Clips are a must in my opinion. And if it were up to me, they’d even have very short clips for writers and directors – maybe highlighting a great moment in their submitted episodes. It’s artists’ specific achievement being celebrated that evening, and there should be a way to highlight their talent for those in the audience who haven’t seen a particular show, season or episode yet. I thought how they handled it last year was quite good, as everyone got a short clip and no one was excluded. Not sure how I felt about the clips being shown before the presenters came out – it kind of diminished the impact of the clips – but at least they were mostly well chosen. Now with no host/hosts, there is no excuse not to provide viewers with clips. And for the love of God, please choose ones that make the actors look good (performance-wise of course).

Next to Moss, Dowd is probably the most skilled actress of that cast. I feel like her work is almost taken for granted at this point. She seamlessly inhabits that character and manages to show so many different sides of her. Aunt Lydia could easily have been a caricature if portrayed by the wrong actor, but Dowd absolutely does the role justice. I’ve always found the disrespect towards her here for Handmaid’s quite interesting (in a negative way).

Please let Maisel get her that overdue nod!

Criticism of the show is fine but I’ve seen a lot of hatred thrown toward certain members of the cast and crew that is completely unwarranted. The Stark actors in particular. r/Freefolk’s disdain for Sophie Turner is bordering on unhinged. Even Alfie Allen has criticized “fans” for harassing the actors social media pages. The current GOT fanbase has nearly the same toxicity as Stars Wars after The Last Jedi. I don’t think any tv show warrants some of the hate GOT has gotten especially since it’s been on an obvious and steady decline since season 5.

Oh I 100% agree. I don’t think anyone deserves such hatred, it’s ridiculous. It’s “just” TV after all!

I wouldn’t categorize those who hated season 8 as necessarily “true GoT fans”. Actually a writing win will be a slap in the face for internet mind-control, and only that

Guess what, true fans dedicated many years of their lives to this show. So no wonder they were disappointed, because S8 was an insult to the show itself. Hating/criticizing/disliking a season doesn’t make you less of a fan than anyone who blindly loves it.

Lots of bickering about Carice from Game of Thrones versus Phylicia Rashad from This Is Us. What about Guest Actor? The only category without Game of Thrones. I am rooting for either Glynn Turman or Michael Angarano from This Is Us – but I give the edge to Glynn

Bradley Whitford will (deservedly) win. But I’d LOVE for Turman or Angarano to win!!

Honestly, even Melisandre’s final scene was superbly acted. Yes, she just walks and throws her necklace onto the floor, but Carice’s gait was perfect.

Bradley Whitford would absolutely be deserving of that win. His portrayal of Commander Lawrence is pretty fascinating, and he’s the best male actor on the show by far. He’ll be helped by season 3.

And I must be the only who wasn’t blown away by Rashad’s performance. Sure, she was great and all, but I just found Van Houten, Lange and Tyson to be more impactful. But that’s just me 🙂

I think it’s hilarious for people to dismiss Van Houten. Her arc is perfect in that episode, in terms of a submission. And don’t forget, GOT has 32 nominations. I’m predicting Rashad because I think the overdue narrative will finally work for her. Plus, actors obviously love This Is Us. I don’t think Lange can actually win anymore because they didn’t really care about AHS in the drama races this year. Jones could win since Handmaid’s has gone 2 for 2 in guest actress, but she has some strong competition this year.

I LOVED this finale so much, it may even be my favorite episode of the series. Watching those 52 children arrive in Canada, along with Rita, and the shock on Moira’s face was just beautiful. Rita’s reaction made me tear up so much! Resistance finally came, even if in a small dose. June’s character arc took many unexpected turns, but I think this should be Moss’ submission. That scene where she tells Lawrence that she’s in power was very powerful. The score & cinematography were brilliant, as always. With Djawadi no longer in contention for GOT next year, it’s time to give Adam Taylor his due!

This season as a whole was rocky, but ultimately satisfying seeing what it led to. Episodes 7-9 were a bit of a drag, and I get why we needed them, but not sure I completely liked how we got to June’s decision to get the children out. The first 5 were pretty amazing though. I don’t like how Emily’s storyline was completely… forgotten? As was Nick’s? They don’t entirely know how to balance all those characters. Fiennes and Dowd did his series-best work this season, Moss & Strahovski continued their stellar work, and Whitford was just darn amazing.

Can’t wait for season 4!
