I feel like Big Little Lies will get only one nom (Streep). Honestly, the season starts great and ends terrible. Kidman and Dern are great, but i think the HFPA will replace them with people of fresh shows (Euphoria, Watchmen, Unbelievable).

I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion. Watchmen is praised for its storyline not because Kings delivers a stellar performance. Every comment I’ve seen so far about the show have always been about the twists and new perspectives in the story. King’s performance is solid but nothing special or awards worthy.

So I’m wondering if the show could get in without her… but that rarely happens. So I don’t know. I really, really want Zendaya to make it.

With Watchmen and King looking more and more likely each passing day, which of the early established contenders is going to miss?

Zendaya I fear, whom I find more deserving than King tbh. But I know that’s probably the most unpopular of unpopular opinions.

S1 of KE was fresh, exciting and hilarious, while S2 was repetitive, dry and made very little sense IMO. Don’t get me wrong, S2 was still entertaining, but nowhere near as much as S1 was

And they are not over the plot holes of GoT S7 and S8? And the huge narrative issues of Pose S2? Come on… And the bird example that you gave is misleading. This was comical and it was done to show Jack behaving in a goofy way trying to save himself from the bird and yelling like a little boy. In the future was used only as a narrative device so Rebecca could tell them that story from the past. This is us us telling its story using multiple timelines, flashbacks and flashforwards. Unlike, Game of Thrones, their writers know how to use time jumps.

I haven’t finished Pose, so I can’t speak to its inclusion, but I won’t disagree on GOT. Its inclusion is indeed strange, but it’s the sentimental pick, which I can get behind. My point was that there is a group of people out there that dislikes TIU for the reason I mentioned earlier, and I believe that the critics make up a big portion of that group.

I love that they have included the four miniseries that defined this year, I would say even, this decade – Chernobyl, When They See Us, Unbelievable and, especially, my favorite Fosse/Verdon. But to put two only two comedies – Fleabag and Veep – and 5 dramas is pretty weird. However, have in mind that GoT is the only Emmy drama nominee that made it, The Crown, Pose, Succession and Watchmen are nominated for seasons that are yet to compete at the Emmys. It is pretty clear that GoT and Pose do not belong here, they should have been replaced by Barry and Russian Doll. And This is us (second part of season 3 and first part of season 4) was much better and more deserving drama than GoT and Pose, it’s ignored only because airs on NBC, which is a shame.

Or maybe they’re over its manipulative nature?

Look, I love the show – mostly because I don’t mind it when shows are excessively emotional – but sometimes their storytelling methods can get really repetitive and may I say, predictable. A bird flying through their living room in the past and then again in the present made me roll my eyes so badly. It’s cute and so, but they could be a bit subtler than that. IMO their best episodes are those exploring raw emotions, like Songbird Road Part 1.

“Unbelievable” is on the list and that’s all that matters 🙂

People thinking I’m a Joker stan… I have to laugh. I liked the movie and that’s it. I don’t really care how it fares during awards season.

The guest eligibility rules definitely need to be changed, though. The fact that the wonderful Marianne Jean-Baptiste was forced to compete in supporting for Homecoming this year because she made a thirty-second voice cameo is absolutely ridiculous. I believe that eligibility should be changed to “appearing in NO MORE THAN 50% of episodes” and/or that shows should be allowed to submit certain situations for review (basically those involving voice-only or non-speaking cameos). Am I pulling a Guest right now? Maybe. But the guest rules are a little forked up and need some more tweaking. It really bums me out, though, that Angelica Ross was in 6/10 episodes. It’s so disappointing seeing as how she should be WINNING guest but doesn’t even have a shot at being nominated in supporting.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but even if eligible, Jean-Baptiste probably wouldn’t have been nominated given how “Homecoming” fared at the Emmys. And Ross probably wouldn’t get in either since the competition next year is STACKED and “Pose” was only able to get in Billy Porter this year.
