Jan 11 update, presumably the final one

After this I feel it’s pretty safe to say the aggregate is done, and Severance is the winner with a lead of 6.5 points over Andor (not that that’s doing much for either of them with awards, but honestly this means more to me than any award show).

I was curious about how tight this race was so I went back and looked at the gap between 1st and 2nd place; this is the tightest race since 2011, where Breaking Bad beat Homeland by 5 points. And that was mostly because there were far fewer lists in the aggregate back then.

Other years with a small gap were Killing Eve and Atlanta with in 2018 with 10 points, Twin Peaks and The Ledtovers with 14 points in 2017, and American Crime Story and Atlanta with 14.5 points in 2016 (that surprised me, I always thought ACS was the main critical pick). Kind of interesting after having three years of these enormous critical darlings demolishing the competition. I think really 2022 was just an incredible year with a lot of fantastic shows.

Thanks for all the updates and analysis. Also do think critical performance is fascinating compared to award shows with voting bodies that can be lazy.

Thrilled for Andor reaching second and hopefully more people have time to catch up with it.

Glad to see Andor picking up guild support – SAG and DGA noms would have been extremely deserving too. Hope with this performance, Disney is convinced to still push it for Emmys even with Mando coming out.

Britell’s score for Andor actually becomes the focal point of the whole season – an absolutely brilliant collaboration between him and Tony Gilroy. His score is very much intertwined with the story telling. Glad he’s getting recognition.

It’s close, but nice to see Andor up to 3rd place.

I was just starting to trust HBO Max when Zaslav took over…. They had this amazing run in the spring of putting out fun fresh comedies one after another, Julia, Minx, Our Flag Means Death, it was such an exciting time to be watching TV and now I feel like that whole wave is going to get axed

Those shows were greenlit under Jason Kilar’s time. David Jenkins, the OFMD creator, was open about how it would have gotten axed by Zaslav’s team if not for the massive online social engagement the show has. They just wrapped filming today and I’m worried it still gets cancelled after the Minx news.

Happy for Diego but him making it in without his show is nonsense. Who the hell thought The Crown was deserving this season.

Skarsgard getting blanked for his performance on Andor is going to annoy me to no end.

I know supporting categories are always a mess cause they consolidate everybody but Skarsgard not making it into that lineup for Andor is making my eye twitch.

I will say it’s notable for instance on the Disney side that Ms Marvel – their best reviewed show of the year – doesn’t make it but Andor does – and that Netflix and Hulu (whose programming is oft female led or has a primarily female audience) is almost entirely absent.

Agreed on the general point that this year has less high profile female led shows, but while Andor technically has a male lead, the number of female characters that have actual agency and are not just there to exposition dump do outnumber the men: Mon, Dedra, Maarva, Vel, Cinta, Bix vs Cass, Luthen, Syril. It’s quite an ensemble.

Agreed on Mando being Andor’s main obstacle – Disney may decide to prioritise one over the other for awards but I hope there’s room for Andor in the budget.

I did see a fair few industry folks praising and commenting how much they loved Andor though eg Patton Oswalt, Winston Duke etc so hopefully Andor performs well over the winter award season which provides it with some momentum for the Emmys. Think people are still catching up with it as well over the holidays.

Happy for Andor and Diego Luna, but Stellan Skarsgard and Fiona Shaw missing? 🙁

Love Andor having a strong showing so far – hope this translates into some recognition at a major award. I’ve been rewatching and the writing for this is so tight without sacrificing the emotional core that is Cassian and Maarva’s relationship.

So far the overall aggregate consists of shows that would all be in my personal top 10 or shows I haven’t watched. Some of those shows I likely will never watch because of the genre (Andor) or universe fatigue (House of Dragon) and some I just didn’t know existed because of football season (Bad Sisters) and am looking forward to checking out now.

That’s what I thought too and I have zero knowledge about SW! But it turned out to be other types of genres: spy thriller in the vein of Tinker Tailor, heist movie, commentary on prison and institutions, anti-fascist rebellion… all in one! Hope you give it a chance.

Andor has a lot of Chernobyl production folks behind it – think it has a good chance to do very well in tech categories
