I only see a path for Snook to get that deserved win at the moment. Most shows that exploded in acting nominations (GoT S8, WTSU, THT S2) couldn’t manage multiple wins so this would be in line with that. I do hope at least Cox manages to win as well though.

There are many but the ones that hurt the most are Normal People in Series and Daisy Edgar-Jones as I feel they were fairly close to getting those noms.

The more time I spend looking at these nominations the more frustrated I am with how bad and seemingly random they are in general. Even for shows I’m rooting for. Like I love Succession but that Braun nomination was beyond unnecessary and undeserving. Watchmen gets five acting nominations but Chau and Nelson aren’t a part of them?

Critics were really passionate about Unorthodox. The fact that something like LFE, which had a much softer reception got in over it is obviously not good for it. I don’t think there’s any way you can ignore that. Not to mention someone like Ruffalo in a show with middling reviews got nominated over Haas, whom all the critics who had watched the…[Read more]

***SPOILERS***

TMS was a complete mess. This show literally had Hannah as a background character with almost zero focus or character development for the first seven episodes until she needed to be the victim. And when that purpose was served, they unceremoniously killed her and just used her death as a device to further Alex’s character and…[Read more]

Damn. Succession just won the Writing BAFTA, stopping Chernobyl’s near sweep. So well deserved.

Well, this might be the stupidest thing I’ve read here and that includes some guy claiming that we like ‘gay films’ mainly because they have ‘gay’ people in them smh.

If you want to talk about going out of the box then that would be nominees like Zoe Kazan, Sex Education, My Brilliant Friend, Elisabeth Olsen, one of the Normal People leads, Maggie Gyllenhaal or The Deuce in general or any show/performer that isn’t in the conversation but deserves to be.

Nominating a performer from a show that has multiple…[Read more]

Kinda predictable and somewhat boring outside of a couple of people. Would have loved some inspired nominations rather than going with the usual suspects.

Why did I think this thread was about the drama series contenders?💀

Agreed but they do need to look into writing better stories for their handful of PoC cast members and not treat them as an afterthought. Creating a more diverse writers room should be the first step as mentioned.

Succession and Watchmen not submitting their best written episodes for Writing is disappointing, especially when both shows would have won with double nominations anyway.

This gives it tough competition though

Barry was the potential runner-up in both directing (consecutive DGA wins + considerably less of a vote-split than Maisel) and writing, got the most major nominations for a comedy that year, got its entire cast nominated, was the only comedy apart from Fleabag that was nominated in every category that is needed to win under the current system and…[Read more]

Contrary to what was said earlier, I think not watching something makes your analysis less biased, does it not? Maybe not as informed but definitely less opinionated.

Apparently, the Peabody updated their website without officially announcing the winners first:

Chernobyl (HBO)
David Makes Man (OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network)
Dickinson (Apple TV+)
Fleabag (Amazon Prime)
Ramy (Hulu)
Stranger Things (Netflix)
Succession (HBO)
Unbelievable (Netflix)
Watchmen (HBO)
When They See Us (Netflix)

The nominees that didn’t…[Read more]

It certainly doesn’t need my FYC but whatever lol.
