This race is so boring.

Anyone who would have played Judy Garland would have won an Oscar.

And to waste it on giving Renee with a Z another Oscar when she’s been AWOL the last decade?

SAD!

They need to do something about glorified cameos winning the guest categories because voters didn’t bother to inform themselves on the performances.

1. A 5 minute screen minimum time for guests in speaking roles.
or
2. Blue ribbons panels simply for the creative arts performer categories that are lesser seen by the voters. The 4 Guest acting categories, Short Form acting, and Voice Over/Narrator.

This thread is so getting deleted.

Probably, it generates passionate discussion on an important topic that transpired this season. Self reflection is needed for better coverage in the future. What this board needs is more Game of Thrones discussion.

Montana82 thoughts on 2019 Emmys.

As usual some inspired winners in this new system save a dreadful show.

GOOD

– All of the acting winners deserved the wins. Comer, Garner, Porter, Dinkalage, White Michelle, Jerome, Pat A for The Act, Whishaw, Hader were all clearly the best in their categories. PWB was deserving in a very tough category (Hope u win next year Catherine O). Shaloub and Borstein wouldn’t have been my choices but they were deserving. Borstein’ category in particular was way too strong with too many deserving women without a win yet.

The bad acting wins are clearly happening in the 1 or 2 guest categories where voters are not as informed. Leads to the Cherry Jones/Margo Martindale tragic wins. Perhaps they should bring back blue ribbons panels for the lesser seen guest categories?

Bad

– Please move at least half of the Variety categories to the creative arts. Don’t care about John Oliver or SNL.

– I feel bad for the usual Emmy less losers (Sandra Oh, Lena Headey, Anna CHulmsky, Robin Wright, Jonathan Banks, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo, etc). The search goes on for them. You need to strike when it’s hot if you want to win and they didn’t back in the day. Or the writers gotta go all out for you and sadly for those ladies especially they got short changed this last year.

Ugly

– The salty reaction of the audience to the Chernobyl wins. Classless.
– the experts that totally IMO on purpose tried to tip the Limited Series race all season to WTSU.
– the horrendous never ending unfunny banter amongst nearly all presenters. Takes away from the nominees and winner. Notice Queen Angela came right out and got to the point.
– White Michelle deserved it but gave her speech like she had been practicing it in front of a mirror for a month. It’s the type of self important speech that is making viewers tune out of these things. I call it the Kirsten Gillibranding of Hollywood.
– Not playing the themes and music associated with the winning show.

I’m gonna talk about lest bleeding actress in drama series because these days winners there are absolutely fabulous.

Predicted six:

Olivia Colman The Crown
Jodie Comer Killing Eve
Nicole Kidman Big Little Lies
Sandra Oh Killing Eve
Mj Rodriguez Pose
Reese Witherspoon Big Little Lies

In contention:

Jennifer Connelly Snowpiercer
Viola Davis How to Get Away with Murder
Regina King The Watchmen
Mandy Moore This Is Us
Elisabeth Moss The Handmaid’s Tale
Sarah Paulson Ratched
Evan Rachel Wood Westworld

I’ve heard The Morning Show ain’t good. Poor people’s The Newsroom which as we already know was quite poor.

I am so excited Sasha is back! PG-13 or not! I bow! You warned us on everything!

I am happy for Comer but what really ticks me off about Oh losing is they could have easily given her the consolation Guest Comedy Actress win. Do they secretly hate her?

When you heard the thunderous applause Christie got and the silence for Headey you knew right there Headey was never winning.

Her time was in 2015 for the WALK OF SHAME. But unfortunately the Academy just had to move OITB to drama and the Academy changed the rules that year to make it a ranked popular vote.

Ironically 2015 was also probably Anna Chumlsky’s best year to win too. I feel bad for both women that the rule change that year may have played a role in their loss.

As for Julia Garner she is far more likely to return as a nominee next year than a Millie Bobbie Brown who people keep predicting. Stranger Things was released already to little or no buzz. You think it’s gonna sustain a full year? Doubt it. Fiona Shaw’s role will have to be increased if she were to make it back.

Likely nominees-

Helena Bonham Carter, The Crown
Thandie Newton, Westworld
Meryl Streep, Big Little Lies
Laura Dern, Big Little Lies
Julia Garner, Ozark
Ann Dowd, The Handmaid’s Tale
Sarah Snook, Succession

ALso in contention:

Yvonne Strahovski, The Handmaid’s Tale
Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve
Shailene Woodley, Big Little Lies
Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things

Any new show nominee that breaks through

Jerome’s win feels really special now. With Chernobyl winning big they could have easily given it to Harris. But they gave it to the smallest name nominated. Good for him

it’s how it should have been. Jerome gave the best performance. Chernobyl was the better show.

We still have drama supporting actress ahead of us… help us all. I can’t handle that.

Is Gwen Christie really winning after that audience reaction? She’s probably the GOT actress with the best shot. And yikes at Clarke’s applause.

The Emmys have always been like that, they DO NOT CARE about nostalgia, about race, about political correctness, about sentiment, they vote for what they think is the best and I LOVE THEM FOR THAT.

Let’s be honest.

HUGE divide with the steak eaters in the tech branches and the actors on this one. The steak eaters are HUGE in the TV Academy, thousands more than actors.

If you listened to the Goldderby editors, you’d never think Chernobyl had a prayer.
