Headey MAY have a clear road to winning an Emmy this year, as she has never had before. With “The Crown” not making the cut due to eligibility, “The Handmaid’s Tale” not submitting (although I do believe Strahovski should be in conversation for Season 2 final episode). It remains to be seen where Comer will be placed. Also, after watching Audra…[Read more]

Season 3 premiere was everything a TV fan would want AND MORE. Audra McDonald really set the bar very high. The scene in which she watched Cynthia’s video – that scene has Emmy nomination written all over it. And even though the Drama Supporting Actress category may be a bloodbath as we have not seen in years, I am really happy to see this amazing…[Read more]

Game of Thrones is the obvious lock unless they epically screw things up, which doesn’t seem very likely.

The Crown can be a huge thing, especially riding on Colman’s Oscar win. Plus Helena Bonham Carter… Carter as Princess Margaret v Lena Headey as Queen Cersei would also be epic.

One thing I have to ask is what’s up with “The Handmaid’s…[Read more]

If The Americans wins for Best Drama, it will be THE MOST GLORIOUS award moment of all times.

Watching Betty White was so painful.

The show is atrocious.

Any streaming links for people outside the US?

I don’t mind too much that Moss is winning over Oh, Russell and Foy, but, my God, would it be a sad day for TV, to see Matthew Rhys losing to Sterling K. Brown.

I know it is all subjective, I understand these things happen all the time, but I would hate to see such powerhouse performance going without proper recognition.

Comparing GoT writing with that of The Americans is like comparing Britney Spears with Tchaikovsky.

Watching Lead Actor and Lead Actress clips, it just reaffirmed my point that Rhys SHOULD win this without any doubt. I have seen all the nominees throughout their respected seasons and I can honestly say that Rhys would be such a worthy winner.

As for Ladies, my God, who chose that clip for Russell? The train scene from the final episode would be…[Read more]

Wow, Game of Thrones’ lead actors both got ignored. Not a snub, just surprising… Glad to see both Rhys and Russell nominated, as well as Oh.

The “swan song” narrative this year will be huge in Best Drama Actress race. Claire Foy did incredible job in “The Crown” that it may tip the scale and make voters vote her and not Moss. Keri Russell was phenomenal in the last season of “The Americans” and in damn year, but this one, she would have been a perfect winner. Will Maslany return? God…[Read more]

For me, 2006 and 2013 come to mind when we speak about 21st century. As much as Mirren was perfect as Queen Elizabeth II, this is one of those years which I can’t choose a winner for. Streep was dynamite in “Devil Wears Prada” and “Notes on the Scandal” was one of the Judi Dench’s finest work. Cruz and Winslet were also worthy nominees.

And…[Read more]

If anyone deserves an award in writing, those are Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg for incredible finale of “The Americans”. That episode was a work of art in writing.

None and I repeat none of GoT episodes can get anywhere near to perfection “START” was.

Blanchett in 2014 and Streep in 2012. Their sense of humor combined with great humility and respect for other nominees is what made these 2 speeches so amazing.

Matthew’s blabbering should not even be considering as a speech. It was oral diarrhea.

Per usual, GoT will be nominated in writing, directing and best drama. Acting noms are now a bit more difficult to predict.

Comparing Clarke to Moss, Russell and Foy just brings you to laughter. Same goes with Harington and his competitors, most notably Brown and Rhys. Simply, they fail in comparison. And not by small margin. I wouldn’t be…[Read more]

Well, high profile cast with the interesting premise is always something that should be taken in the consideration. When I first watched the trailer and read what the movie is about, I expected for at least Roberts to garner some award talk.

Perhaps “Wonder”. I expected a bit more for them this award season, but the movie failed to garner any sort of attention. The movie that was a complete bust was certainly “Breathe”. Amazing performances, great story with such gravitas and yet, at the end, it felt ineffective.

OK, let me get this straight: I am Blanchett fanboy and I am proud of it 😀

That said, Oscar number 3 is too early to talk about. It just feels premature. Yes, in couple of years, 5-10 perhaps, she will join the conversation again (well, chances are big) but for now, the 2 she has is enough.

As for her being overrated, well, there are always…[Read more]

Dame Maggie Smith is also only a Grammy shy. But, as she said in the interview last year, that one is rather sure never to happen 😀

Wow, it really seems that Claire Foy is people’s choice. Usually, Best Actress in Drama Series is so packed, I can’t remember a year that everyone chose just one person.

And, please, please, please, let this be the year the Academy FINALLY awards Matthew Rhys for his phenomenal role in “The Americans”.
