Sure, but your original post sure made it seem like you watched the show and you would know who the main star and producer of the show is if you watched it. Also, the internet exists.
Don’t try to be cute by being contrarian or rude, you just look stupid and disrespectful. It’s fine to not like things, but to be overly reductive by way of dim…[Read more]

“Hacks” and “Barry” have done a good job of accumulating the end of season buzz that should sufficiently challenge the season-long frontrunner status for “Ted Lasso.” Right now, I would say that I can see “Hacks” taking Series, Actress, Supporting Actress and Writing, “Barry” taking Actor and Directing, and “Ted Lasso” taking Supporting Actor…[Read more]

It won’t happen but Brian Tyree Henry and Donald Glover could basically switch categories and I wouldn’t bat an eye. This season has had more of a focus on Al than Earn — or at the very least they have been equally prominent— and (in my opinion) Henry’s performance is easily overshadowing Glover by nature of what the characters have gotten to…[Read more]

Spoilers ahead.
I watched the first three seasons in early quarantine, and didn’t really feel until season 3 that the show was really coming together and telling a propulsive, cohesive story. The first part of season 4 kind of continued that trend, but part 2 lost all of that momentum. The show has always suffered from the constant turnover of v…[Read more]

Is “The Time Traveler’s Wife” eligible this year? Half of the first season will have aired before the May 31 deadline, and I have to imagine that HBO would make the rest of the episodes available to voters if that were the only hurdle to clear to be eligible for this year. I’m not expecting it to be a big player, what with the fact that HBO would…[Read more]

I’m quite tempted to slot in Anne Hathaway. While the show itself doesn’t seem to have a lot of buzz and Apple’s priorities will be elsewhere (although this is probably their big Limited play regardless), whatever noise there is surrounding the show is focused on Hathaway’s performance. The passion is there. It doesn’t hurt that she’s a big movie…[Read more]

mf617 replied to the topic Severance (Apple TV Patricia Arquette series) in the forum Television 2 months, 3 weeks ago
While I was genuinely thrilled by the finale and think it is one of the best episodes of the season, my thoughts on the season as a whole is that it’s more of a “like/respect” situation for me than a “love.” Sometimes the intentional vagueness and reliance on plot as a metaphor instead of merely as forward moving action overpowered what was worki…[Read more]

I had the exact same thought when watching episode 3, and then after watching episode 4? Forget about it! She was stunning. I have more thoughts to write down about the show as a whole, but just had to comment with my enthusiasm on this performance since someone else called it out.

The show itself is good (maybe even better than most are giving it credit for) but I’m finding Hathaway’s performance to be absolutely fantastic. I wasn’t expecting so much of the focus to be on her character, and was kind of surprised she took the role prior to watching the show, but there’s so much to play with here that it’s no wonder sh…[Read more]

I removed myself from the awards season discourse a while ago because this season turned sour in a way I didn’t wish to interact with on a daily basis, but as I mentioned a while back, I’m utterly thrilled with Kotsur’s win and it is absolutely one of my favorite wins of all time. I know there has been much discussion about whether or not you c…[Read more]

Until HBO announces that Coolidge is playing the same character (which they haven’t done and which Variety didn’t confirm in that article), there is no need to contest this ruling.
Now if it turns out she is playing the same character but that’s not confirmed until after Emmys nominations even though the show is shooting right now, that’s a whole…[Read more]

I was so happy that Sundance decided to do a virtual component to their festival again this year, even before it went fully virtual. Their commitment to following up on the success of last year’s virtual festival by having a dual experience is a massive boon for film lovers all over the country, and their commitment to young film lovers especially…[Read more]

I guess I will be the one to stick up for this season because I’m really loving it while recognizing the shifts between seasons. First of all, this is just a gorgeous show to look at. Regardless of if you think it is style over substance, the style is pretty damn excellent. I don’t find the shift in tone from scene to scene and within each epi…[Read more]

I have been letting this part of the season unfold without commenting too much on here because the usual toxicity of the season has taken me out once again, but I just want to say that Troy Kotsur in “CODA” is probably my favorite performance of the year and I really wasn’t expecting him to be this strong of a presence in the awards season just…[Read more]

As I said weeks ago, I’m still trying to figure out what to take out of my Ensemble lineup to slot in “CODA.” I can see “The Power of the Dog” getting in Cumberbatch, Dunst and Smit-McPhee without the Ensemble nom. I can see “King Richard” missing out due to its subdued buzz in recent weeks. I can see “Don’t Look Up” being the most obvious nominee…[Read more]
