This is what Deadline had to say about the Maisel supporting players when its S1 release date was announced,

Tony Shalhoub (Monk) also stars as Midge’s father Abe Weissman, along with Alex Borstein (Family Guy) as Susie Myerson, Michael Zegen (Boardwalk Empire) as Midge’s husband Joel Maisel and Marin Hinkle (Two and a Half Men) as Midge’s mothe…

I appreciate that and I respect your views on Colman, but even you’d agree that these random ‘#anyonebutcolman’ things are driven more out of dislike/hatred than the need for expressing one’s opinions.

This Colman/The Crown thing has been going on for a long while now, like that ridiculous hashtag. The one time that others defend the show and Colman, some users act like they aren’t being allowed to express their opinions when you guys literally dismissed people as liking Colman for the sake of it as soon as someone dared to disagree.I actually t…[Read more]

What a stupid, baseless statement to make. As if people can’t like a performance without being influenced by the actor involved, something that the majority of people outside these forums do feel.

And others are allowed to think she is deserving without being dismissed as mere Colman stans.

She definitely shouldn’t be below the likes of Rhea Seehorn or Phylicia Rashad for David Makes Man.

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 think people are overestimating the tech nominations the show can get. Stranger Things got into just four guilds; the actors, sound mixers, sound editors and VFX. Its performance was abysmally bad everywhere. Westworld, for example, managed to be nominated nearly everywhere below the line, despite missing things like PGA or DGA. Even BLL…[Read more]

Yeah, I don’t see Cromwell getting nominated, even if Succession manages to get acting nods. I doubt he is even in the top 10.

The few people I’ve talked to who have watched the current season prefer McTeer. The buzz for her performance seems stronger than Garner or at least on par with her. Theoretically, if Garner is strong enough to win again, then the show should be strong enough to get McTeer nominated as well and this scenario doesn’t bode well for the former’s…[Read more]

First Look at Hollywood:

Thrones also blocked Ozark from a DGA nomination in 2017, couple that with its triple nominations and casting win, I assume that the former overall had more support/votes than Ozark in the end.

Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series:

The Crown
The Handmaid’s Tale
Homeland
Ozark
Succession
Westworld

Because he’s still pissed that Colman beat Close. Moving on…

The Crown won ensemble and Colman would have probably won as well if HBC wasn’t nominated. No show has won at SAG when it is the only one vote-splitting in a category. A really great stat by Riley that helped me correctly predict Aniston.

The last two Lead Actor Drama winners were not nominated by SAG ever so I don’t know why people act like at least Cox can’t get nominated without a corresponding SAG nom. Cherry Jones is a well known Emmy quantity and is probably getting nominated as well. Remember The Americans? That show got two lead nominations and one guest nomination…[Read more]

Nomination scenario for Succession:

Drama Series, Writing, Directing, Casting, Sound Mixing – Locked

Music Composition, Actor (Cox), Guest Actress – Very likely

Actor (Strong), Supporting Actor, Editing – Could happen

Contemporary Costumes, Production Design, Lead Actress – Long shots

I think Succession will land around 10-11 nominations and…[Read more]

The Outsider was definitely a big hit. It was HBO’s second most watched show of the season. Watchmen also had pretty strong numbers.

Westworld is still one of HBO’s most watched shows. It doesn’t need to be the most watched one. Silicon Valley also averaged similar numbers for its third season as Westworld’s second one and had a similar drop in…[Read more]

I’m not talking solely about award chances but it would be foolish to think that such things don’t factor in scheduling.

The Undoing was supposed to be their prime Limited contender and I think Watchmen turning out to be unexpectedly strong with the industry also had some impact on their decision to shift the former to fall. Watchmen will be their sole biggest priority now.

Does anyone think Linney can win? The two frontrunners are pretty disappointing.

I don’t think we would be having this conversation of Ozark possibly winning series if it was in the 60s on Metacritic.
