For the record, montana82 has enthusiastically endorsed BOTH Sandra and Lena for victory this year. 😃

I just realized Ozark could legit sweep the main acting categories minus Supporting actor…

That would be an absolute travesty. It is the worst show up for series in either Drama, Comedy, or Miniseries that I have watched this season.

I agree with most of these. The only thing not realistic IMO is the series win. I’m not even second-guessing a Game of Thrones loss for Drama series. I don’t even have a real alternative.

I don’t know if it means anything but I see a lot of blue check marks losing their minds over the first 2 episodes of Succession. The buzz on twitter.com is real. Don’t think it can carry it to Drama Series but it is happening right as voting is happening.

Too early to discuss guest acting? Here’s an early FYC for the baddest b*tch and still Emmyless Ms Angela Bassett for A Black Lady Sketch Show.

Montana82 is trying desperately to right this wrong this year.

Ms. Bassett is competing for the coveted BEST NARRATOR Emmy and she is 100% montana82 endorsed. Meryl Peep won it a couple years on name recognition and I am hoping Ms. Bassett can do the same and get that Emmy to her name. After all, wouldn’t you want Ms. Bassett to narrate your life?

My rankings:

And SNL contenders wouldn’t be in these categories if it was up to me.

I’m predicting MacNicol (Spoiler: Mulaney) and Scott-Thomas (Spoiler: Shaw)

And who led the primal scream for both Kristin Scott Legend and Legend Kirby WEEKS AGO?

I am telling you performers branch, check my thread and TRUST ME. I am totally picking the deserving nominees!

I had no idea who Luke Kirby was and he blew me away. I don’t come into these things as a stan…I LEAVE A STAN!

Here are my picks performers, trust me. Others are now falling in line.

I see Julia did a Goldderby chat. She’s been posting photos from the Veep set all during voting on instagram. She is beyond thirsty for her 26th Emmy.

But she’s runner up to Laverne Cox who posted on instagram to vote for her to MAKE HISTORY as the first trans woman to win.

I am generally happy with this new voting system. And usually over the moon with it. No way the subtle brilliance of a Claire Foy, Riz Ahmed, or even Jon Hamm prevail in the tape system of showy and over the top. Tatiana Maslany, Rami Malek, and Thandie Newton’s episodes would have been “too confusing”. And so on.

But Gilpin’s probable loss will really make me miss the old system. She could have Kyra Sedgwick’d her way to victory.

I’ve now watched all Supporting actress nominees except for Chlumsky. My favorite are Borstein, Clifford, Gilpin and Goldberg. Now Clifford doesn’t seem to stand a chance because she’s overshadowed by her buzzier co-star Colman. Colman winning wouldn’t be bad, she’s hilariously hateable, but she’s practically guest and one-note. These other nominees have had so much more material to chew and have delivered richer performances. Gilpin is simply outstanding. Allow me but in her role, she’s sexy, funny, smart, she cries, makes on point fake facial expressions as Liberty Belle, it’s just she does so much and shows such range. She’d be an excellent winner. But it’s hard without a series nomination. Borstein is completely a different person. I can’t believe it’s Alex Borstein who plays Susie. She deserved her Emmy last year and for that I’ll dismiss her so someone else equally deserving wins. I have a soft spot for Goldberg but I think her performance being dramatic might hurt her chances. This race is a toss up, and honestly I think the winner is gonna be from the show that sweeps, unless Gilpin surprises.

Honestly if any category deserves a tie it’s this one.

I know the answer to this, but I wonder how When They See Us would be received around here if it didn’t have majority black talent behind the scenes.

Please.

I am on record as having HATED Ozark and Sharp Objects and their casts are white toast. The sight of Meryl Streep makes me want to jump out a window these days. Shows with primarily white talent are trashed and criticized routinely around here. I am also on record advocating for wins for Billy Porter, Jharrel Jerome, Phylicia Rashad, and Angela Bassett this year. Not to mention I stick up for Sandra Oh who gets dissed all the time and would make history with a win.

Apparently if you are sad at where Chernobyl seems to be heading Emmy night (goose egged) and point out how emotionally invested some people are in WTSU victory (ya’ll listen to Amanda and Erik yet?) you are racist or something. Pretty pathetic.

On AW Erik and Amanda Spears (did she leave GDerby?) all fell in line for When They See Us in their latest podcast. They too have Chernobyl going home empty handed on the telecast. I suggest a listen to their podcast as it really reveals just how openly rooting the major pundits are for When They See Us. They are emotionally invested. Don’t know how Chernobyl can compete with it quite frankly which is a damn shame.

I’ve finished Fosse/Verdon and Michelle Williams is…beyond. The show isn’t my favorite in the line up but holy shit is Williams giving an all-time great performance, after watching I don’t really know how you can vote for someone else, and I love Adams and Arquette.

Preach Brother Tyler.

Just look at the reactions when people finally get around to watching everything.

This just reaffirms that when montana82 makes a recommendation to the Performers branch they should take it under strong consideration. I come into this with an open mind, heart, strong resolve, with my guard up and BS meter on. I really am endorsing great choices. White Michelle among them.

More and more I wish I could hack into the Emmy voting and pick the correct worthy winners. I just need to pray the performers branch is moved by my prose like they were for Claire, Thandie, Samira, Alex, Rachel, and Chris Pickles last year.

I am actually watching everything. Last weekend I watched the full seasons of Pose and Succession and the emmy episode of Odenkirk/Banks/McKean. I also watched the This is Us guest actor Michael Whatever his name.

Pose is simply FABULOUS. I just had a blast with it. I love 80s music and sass and this gave me it ALL. There were also moments that were deeply moving. MJ Rodriguez was robbed of a nomination
and Porter’s tape was the best in his category. This show is one of the best things Camp Murphy has ever done!

Succession was very interesting. Sorta lost me with the final 3 episodes. Wouldn’t mind a directing win for it’s Pilot. Do not think it’s finale deserves writing. I can take anti heroes and bad people. But the main character in the finale did something so reprehensible it makes me want to abandon the series all together. You lost me there.

Was that really Bob Odenkirk’s best tape? It felt like Jonathan Banks was the lead actor in it. They were both quite good. Really a shame they seem destined to leave Emmy less. McKean who COULD win Guest Actor is literally in the first 5 minutes of the episode here he sings karokee and that was it. He could get it for a career but man if Lena Headey CAN’T win because of “lack of material” than WTF is this sh*t?

Michael What ever his name (too tired to look it up, I can’t do everything around here) for This is Us had a VERY good tape. He would make the best winner so far in Drama Guest Actor.

And let me repeat for those in the back….PLEASE DON’T VOTE FOR CHERRY JONES…SHE WAS ONLY IN 2 MINUTES AND 20 SECONDS OF THROWAWAY SCREEN TIME IN HER EPISODE.

So Montana82 STRONGLY adds endorsements to…

Lead Actor Drama- Billy Porter, Pose

Drama Guest Actor- Michael A…whatever, This is Us

Montana82 signing out. Once again doing the work while the rest of ya’ll engage in slightly uncomfortable Game of Thrones fan fiction.

Meryl is not a lock especially if they are 3 BLL actresses nominated alongside.

The fact she was completely miscast is sort of a problem too.
