I really wanna say Sarah Snook but to me she was completely lead in the second season, so I went the HBC. She had nothing to do for like 80% of the season but when she was the center of the screen she really made the most of it.

Yea I think I could maybe see him getting a surprise directing nod. Zendaya is less likely imo, but wouldn’t be the biggest shock in the world

Am I crazy for thinking Seehorn’s gonna take this one?

They’re all great, but possibly my favorite scenes of the series were anything with King and Gossett Jr, so I had to go with him. He’s just so compelling without even having to get out of the chair

I haven’t seen the movie so I can’t speak to that, but based purely on narrative I do remember thinking even at the time that she could’ve beat Emma Stone had she been in Lead.

There was a lot of momentum around her finally winning won, and I think it would’ve seemed really tough because La La Land seemed like such a juggernaut but we obviously…[Read more]

I know it was due to her contract and she was just one of 3 equally ridiculous cases within her own show, but Natasha Lyonne getting nominated for Guest Actress for the first season of OITNB was absolutely ludicrous. She was in literally every episode with significant screen time, she might even have had more screen time than someone like Kate…[Read more]

I went with the Americans, mainly because it’s subsequent sweep of the winter awards season shows it had a major peak in passion for it’s final season, but it’s hard to tell if that peak started at the Emmy’s or was started by the Emmy’s.

In chamber pieces like this you could argue that all 3 of the prominent characters are the 3 leads, but in terms of awards categories I think since the story is told so completely from Dohmnall Gleason’s point of view and he’s in basically every scene, he feels like the true LEAD and the other 2 are secondary to him, as the above poster said. This…[Read more]

I haven’t seen it since it came out but I don’t think she’s in it a ton. Out of the three main roles (Jamal, Malik, Latika), her character has the least screen time and she’s played by 3 different actresses at 3 different ages. What she is in though is good, if not especially challenging, and she has good chemistry with Dev Patel (they ended up…[Read more]

A movie I just discovered is 1961’s Victim. It’s a pretty compelling noir film about a lawyer investigating a blackmailer that’s targeting gay men. It was pretty crazy watching a black and white film from 1961 where all the gay characters are treated sympathetically and the bad guys are the homophobic blackmailers. I’m surprised it doesn’t…[Read more]

From my vantage point it’s fairly popular in the US, basically everyone I know has heard of it or watches it, but I think it skews slightly younger (I’m in my 20’s) so I don’t know how well it will do at the Emmy’s. That’s the same reason I’m hesitant to predict Normal People anywhere despite how obvious a hit it seems to be, because it’s mostly…[Read more]

I believe this project has been in development for YEARS, with producer Robert Downey Jr originally planning it for himself to star. My guess is the original iteration of the show was probably meant to be a bit more similar to the original concept, and over the years with writers and stars cycling in and out and broader TV trends getting grittier…[Read more]

Larrain earned enough goodwill from me with Jackie that I’m tempted to trust him, although the announcement threw me off so much i thought it was a joke at first haha. I’m tempted to agree that I don’t see stewart pulling this off, especially the accent. And generally when the consensus is so unanimous that someone is miscast that consensus is us…[Read more]

Literally no one saw this movie but Never Had written and performed by Oscar Isaac for 10 Years is a beautiful song that is actually an integral part of the movie and character development, which is Imo what should be prioritized in this category

I just moved Chris Evans into 6th place in my predictions. The category is pretty weak, the series was popular enough, and he seems to be pretty well liked in the industry

I don’t know if it’s what they’re submitting but: Tern Haven, Succession

My personal choice won:
1. Natalie Portman, Black Swan

Not my personal choice but can’t deny they were very good:
2. Brie Larson, Room
3. Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
4. Julianne Moore, Still Alice
5. Olivia Colman, The Favourite (would probably rank higher with a bit more screentime, felt more supporting to me)

Pretty good performance that…[Read more]

If Mindy Kaling gets nominated for The Morning Show for like 4 cumulative minutes of pretty uneventful screen time I will riot

Yea I’m ok with her being supporting since it is such an ensemble movie, but I agree with above poster that Shoshanna definitely has the most developed arc, she’s the character that goes through the journey we generally associate with the protagonist. So even if she doesn’t have the most screen time, she sort of feels lead to me. And I would have…[Read more]
