What an awful mess. Thanks for nothing Jill Soloway.

Was it perfect? Of course not. But it was still pretty freaking amazing– far better than anything that was nominated in the TV movie category this year. And Paul is sheer perfection!

Some of you are asking why this thread is still open. As one of the moderators, I can explain. We are NOT in the habit of closing threads where there is debate. We only close threads that are abusive, harassing, or contain SPAM. You guys want to call editors and contributors wrong, moronic, bad at our jobs? Fine. We’re all big boys and girls…we…[Read more]

Look…everyone just needs to relax a minute and take the hyperbolic nonsense down a few notches.

I realize I’m just a contributing writer here, but for the record, I had Chernobyl winning from day one, and I’m glad I was right. But there was a real possibility that I was going to be wrong, and I wouldn’t have lost my mind over it.

Frankly there…[Read more]

I agree. Strasser is totally wrong for this role.

One thing that’s always bothered me. Will and Sonny are fine with all the garbage Gabi pulled with Abigail? And they’re ok with her being married to a guy that pointed a gun and Will’s grandmother? How about the fact that Gabi left Julie to die? Do these people communicate AT ALL?

I would also add Martha Byrne

Unfortunately, Atkinson’s performance was Faaaaar better when he was torn between good and evil. The psycho scenes of him talking to himself and walking around shirtless were just painfully bad.

And speaking of painfully bad, this storyline has been giving us the gift we never wanted, more Thorsten Kaye. The man is so laughably awful as Ridge…[Read more]

If GH submits yesterday’s memorial alongside OScar’s death episode…it has drama series in the bag. Miller,Braun, and McCoy were all on fire yesterday. I also loved the nice scene between Benard and Braun….a little early 2000’s Sonny and Carly.

Christopher won’t win this. In fact, I have him in fourth. He’s too villainous, and full out villains almost never win in the lead category. Also, there’s something really icky about his reel, and the storyline in general. He’s trying to make excuses for rape. It won’t really fly in the face of more sympathetic reels.

I think Miller would have had a stronger shot if she had submitted better. But her reel is just not good. As I said before, she is much better during Flynn and Christopher’s reel than she is in her own.

I got press access in order to cover them for Goldderby.

De Paiva is my #1 now, with Watson close behind. That last scene in her reel was a tour de force. I liked Godfrey’s reel at the beginning, but the drunk scene didn’t work for me. Madison and Maitland were too weepy and lacked range. Morgan’s was the most disappointing. She needed something with more range to balance the quietness of the reel.

I’ll be honest, I hated all of these reels. The acting is actively bad, in my opinion. So it’s kind of like picking from a whole lot of yuck.

Stitt’s has the best chance. He has the most sympathy in his storyline. Tinker (WTF). Adams (Snooze). Lipton (Meh). Pettis (does nothing but cry and the last half of the reel has no dialogue, just tears).…[Read more]

Having seen the reels, Gail is winning and it’s richly deserved. It’s not even close. James is second, but not really a close second.

Rikkart is amusing, but one-note. Martsolf has a good beginning, but the second half of the reel is dominated by Kassie DePaiva. Zamprogna’s is a big nothing.

Again, I’ve watched all the reels.

West is winning this. It’s as good an Emmy reel as I’ve ever seen. No one else even comes close. The person who submitted the worst was Miller. She could have done so much better. She was better in Flynn and Christopher’s reels than her own. A wasted opportunity. Tom was fine, but the story was dull. Wright…[Read more]
