I know it’s only 4 pictures…but this looks like it could be a winner. I think Comedy might be a battle between Schitt’s Creek and Space Force in all the categories besides Lead Actress.

I have been saying all this time that Dan Levy deserves the Supporting Actor Emmy.

He absolutely does. He’s like a Sean Hayes.

Has anyone seen Space Force?

In this stale race it could be something that can really sweep in and ride momentum if it’s any good. At the very least it could win Carrell his overdue Emmy.

I just watched Schitt’s Creek entire season. If O’Hara doesn’t win for that role than this website should just shut down because awards aren’t worthy enough to be covered. Every line she utters in that voice and costume she wears is a gift. I’d also give Dan Levy supporting actor.

I find it interesting that when BLL was airing the consensus was that Dern had the better performance, while now the majority seems to prefer Streep. I have to wonder if Dern gets snub (which I think is possible) Meryl could win because her performance seems to have aged very well.

In what universe has her performance aged well? The Streep groupies that make up awards message boards?

Dern was superior. It would be absurd if she got a snub.

I also don’t understand the big issue with screentime for Helena Bonham Carter. It really isn’t much different from Vanessa Kirby for S2, is it? Both had two episodes centered around their characters with a sporadic presence throughout the rest of the season. But I feel I’ve seen more people complain about the former for some reason.

I agree. I am watching Westworld and Wood and Newton don’t even appear in many episodes.

So Garner didn’t deserve to win last year when she gave a better performance and had more material, but she now suddenly deserves to win in a far more competitive category where she will likely also have a co-star nominated against her? Got it.

I agree. I don’t think Garner deserves a 2nd straight Emmy and I like her. She wasn’t the standout of the season and was far better in Season 2. Linney and Tom P were the MVP’s and I thought McTeer was just as strong and relevant as Garner. I’d be happy with either HBC or McTeer winning as they are the only likely contenders who haven’t won for their roles (HBC does have the random International Emmy!).

I haven’t seen Succession yet. Does Holly Hunter do anything to warrant a nomination? As we found out last year once the Academy grabs onto 2-3 shows they fill all the nominations with that shows performers. Hunter is an industry favorite.

I love Headey but she did not deserve to win anything for Season 8 especially over Garner who acted circles around everyone in her category last year.

Headey’s one shot was in 2015 for her much talked about “Walk of Shame”.

Sadly that was the greatest WHAT IF Emmys of all time due to the voting change and the Academy/industry pressure to punish Orange is the New Black by moving them to drama.

Just imagine the What If’s that OINTB decision has left us with.

1. If Uzo was in Comedy, would she have beaten Allison Janney?

2. If Uzo was in Comedy, who would have taken her spot on the Drama Supporting actress ballot?

3. Who would have won Drama Supporting Actress?

I think the answers are:

1. Uzo would have beaten Janney

2. Maggie Smith who was shockingly snubbed would have taken Uzo’s spot in Drama.

3. Smith wins a popular ranking vote over Headey, Froggie, Clarke, Hendricks, Baranski.

So sadly Headey was always destined to finish Emmy-less.

Am I the only one who thinks Janet McTeer will take this if she gets in?

My thinking:

1. All the other potential nominees are Emmy winners for their roles (Garner, Newton, Dowd, Dern) or for other roles (Streep, HBC).

2. She is a highly respected stage and screen actress slumming it up in the Ozarks. As Riley said in her interview she has starred in A LOT of TV work recently (Damages, The Honourable Woman, The White Queen). The fact such a pro of an actress is out there doing a GDERBY interview this early shows she wants it and will campaign.

3. She is just as good and has just as much screen time and storyline as Garner. They both have far more arc and screen time than perceived frontrunner HBC who really only has 2 episodes. Garner just won last year so they may look to award a new face from the show. Especially as anyone who watches knows its the only chance to award Janet.

I think it’s between McTeer, Garner, and HBC. I have a suspicion voters may wait until next year to award Colman and HBC as their material this year was good but nothing too surprising or great? Perhaps McTeer and Garner are destined to split the vote? I don’t know but I am feeling a win for Janet the Giant. The stars are aligning. Everyone I know is watching the season of Ozark in quarantine and the reaction is very positive. I think it’s gonna be big.

Laura Dern just won an Oscar for a performance that would have won a Guest Actress in a Drama Emmy 20 years ago and you really need it explained to you why a so so performance makes it into awards contention?

Close isn’t going lead. People who have seen the movie have said she’s the one with less screen time. She’ll easily win in supporting if the movie is good.

There are people who have seen the movie?! Anyone who has please DM with any tea about Glenn and Amy’s chances.

1974 Academy Awards Best supporting actress
Tatum O’neil could have gone lead instead of supp as she should have being the lead in her movie and let Linda Blair win supp for The Exorcist

Thank God she didn’t. Blair had no business near the Oscar. The performance was all effects, makeup, and voice over. Which is why her career went on and she made nothing but bad movies and gave razzie worthy performances.

If O’Neal went lead I think either Sidney or Kahn would have won supporting that year.

One person that always comes to mind is Michelle Pfeiffer for The Fabulous Baker Boys. The movie was named for the Bridges brothers characters. She supported them. At the point in her career her star was just growing so she could have gotten away with it. She was never beating Tandy no matter how many critics awards she won. And supporting actress was bare bones that year. The Globe was won by the 4th best performance in Steel Magnolias and the Oscar by the unknown Irish actress who would go on to be Home Alone’s bird lady.

Big Little Lies Season 2 was crap and has been forgotten and nobody thinks any of its ladies will miss. I think it’s more likely Kidman misses than Comer and maybe even Oh.

I will light a candle for the Dever and Washington fans to protect them from Helen Mirren riding in to snatch their wigs with her usual filler nomination!

Missing in the whole Eliza Scanlen-Kaitlin Dever discussion. Unbelievable is less divisive, more watchable, and accessible than the slog that was Sharp Objects.

Now if only they could make a rule change to the Guest acting categories to prevent the name check nothing wins ala Cherry Jones and Margo Martindale.

Since the new system the winners in the acting categories on the main categories have been so great and deserving (well not you Alec Baldwin). But the winners in Guest so mixed. Voters just aren’t as informed with a single appearance arc.
