Along with Fleabag, Succession is the most mentioned show. A PGA nomination seems likely this year.
Predicting Drama next year will be Succession (HBO) vs The Crown (Netflix). The former was the most talked about show (aside from Fleabag) among actors at the Emmys and the latter is going to be huge (also I can see Netflix throwing money until it wins a big prize – it must be embarrassing that Amazon has won 2 on the comedy side already). Season 3 of Succession likely to be out during Emmy voting period next year…
Also Mike Flanagan should absolutely be given a chance to do Doctor Who – that show needs a jolt of fresh ideas.
Honestly I know there was a lot of high profile support among actors for WTSU (which is why Jerome won) but there was always a baseline of support from actors for Chernobyl as well – Ben Stiller, Sarah Paulson, Fiona Shaw, Jon Cryer etc are just some of the few names I could remember giving it a shoutout, so I don’t think the gap between the percentage of techs and acting support was that far apart.
More importantly it is clear that Chernobyl was WIDELY seen by people not just in LA/NY, plus its international reach was insane so it likely picked up most of the foreign votes as well (especially when there was no other foreign alternative eg A Very English Scandal didn’t get in to split the UK vote and Chernobyl is chiefly a Sky Atlantic production and the whole industry was aware of it since it was casting UK actors).
Chernobyl was simply to big to ignore, was this year’s summer television event and to an extent benefited from overlapping with the shitty GOT ending and the inevitable comparisons.
Not to mention the critics awarded it the TCA over WTSU. Think the pundits were just swayed by the local profile of the incident as well as Ava’s clout in the industry.

Not only that, but she was basically not known and the least popular in the US from that category.
HFPA is not giving Colman a 3rd trophy lol, they will definitely go with Colman, then SAG won’t resist. Remember Elizabeth Moss and Clair Foy lol.
A Globe voting member has already raved Colman’s performance in The Crown as “extraordinary” and “a wonder” (and also mentioned that she is the nicest person to meet in real life). I think she’s competitive for a win, third Globe or not.
The Fiona Shaw hate on this forum is ridiculous. She’s a legendary acting and theater veteran and is enjoying a resurgence rare of actresses in her age group.
