You must not watch Barry. Barnett was great and Shalhoub gets my vote but my god the Barry supporting cast is stellar.

Maybe I’m in the minority here but nothing about the ended really suggested a possible season 3 or made me want a season 3. I mean, with how clumsy the writing was this season, i don’t think they would handle the aftermath of them confessing to the cops that well.

I liked the season. The acting was stellar and I was always engaged. And while I w…[Read more]

Thats valid but I don’t understand how you could call the show boring unless you’ve only seen, like, the first two episodes.

HBO, if you’re listening, I expect a new dramedy called Renata to debut in the 2020-2021 season. I will take no excuses.

I think Pamela Adlon was 7th.

The best Grizabellas sing the song controlled and relaxed (see Betty Buckley at the 1983 Tony Awards) while Jennifer Hudson sounds like she’s almost yelling and belting as loud as she can which the song just doesn’t ask for.

Even though it was technically for Season 1, Sandra Oh did win Golden Globe, SAG, and Critics’ Choice for this role.

I agree that Barry seems like a runner-up at best. Like Atlanta, they like it for what it is and love to nominate it all over the place for its artistry but they would prefer a more traditional comedy to award in series.

I feel the same way about Fleabag, which I don’t buy winning at all. It is a buzzy offbeat auteur show, like Barry, but it is…[Read more]

Preliminary Predictions

Drama Series: Game of Thrones (HBO)

Drama Actor: Billy Porter– Pose (FX)

Drama Actress: Sandra Oh– Killing Eve (BBC America)

Drama Supporting Actor: Peter Dinklage– Game of Thrones (HBO)

Drama Supporting Actress: Julia Garner– Ozark (Netflix)

I have Robin Wright in my number two slot. No potential wins make sense to me besides Sandra Oh or Robin Wright.

I’m currently watching Ozark Season 2. I started When They See Us last night but didn’t finish the first episode. I might continue, but it was just a lot to handle.

I have it winning those two and Supporting Actress as well.

Maybe not bad but… scary? It’s very disturbing that I can tell who the actor is but also they are digitally covered in fur, so they are essentially half human half cat. Who wants to see that?

Also once I’ve listened to Betty Buckley sing Memory, there’s no one else I want to hear singing it.

From someone who doesn’t watch Game of Thrones, how is the poll going?

Besides the SAG ensemble award (which isn’t individual so who cares) neither Adams or Williams have ever been rewarded by their peers– aka people in the industry.

Chris Sullivan’s nomination is really bothering me. Mandy Moore’s make sense if they are just playing catch-up from last year or if she was 7th or 8th last year in a stronger field. That I can accept.

But Chris Sullivan being nominated means that people must have voted for him that didn’t vote for Justin Hartley, which makes no sense to me. I…[Read more]

Colman is probably 4th or 5th in the category for me, after Clifford, Goldberg, Borstein and maybe Hinkle, but her nomination is deserved. And since Fleabag is so short and it only broke through this year, we can assume that the love and nominations is for both seasons, and Colman was very deserving in Season 1.

I mean have you seen a better category?
