I just can’t with Camilla Banus. I don’t blame her as much as I blame the character. Gabi is a petulant, screechy little brat who either is scheming or bitching about how wronged she has been. It’s so one-note and dull.

Patricia Heaton’s first win (Bad Moon Rising) over Messing (Das Boob) was totally deserved. “Bad Moon Rising” is a perfect submission and wiped the floor with every other nominee that year.

I find Heaton’s second win (The Cannister) totally baffling, especially up against Messing’s hilarious performance in an hour-long episode (Lows in the Mid Eighties.)

The experts were called out, which I find utterly ridiculous. The conplaint should be directed toward the TV academy, not prognosticaters. They’re going off of what the academy likes, not what they like. I 100% support the point that’s being made, but the comment wasn’t dragging Gold Derby, and the fact that a thread was opened for this is ridiculous

 

Bravo dear Luca…Bravo indeed.

The title of this thread is misleading. This isn’t really about slamming Goldderby, and the article itself doesn’t really drag us. Besides, our job is to predict, not promote!

I realize this makes me really old. But Hill Street Blues is just a masterpiece. One of the All time greats, so my choice was not even difficult. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it.

You guys…I don’t know why you think West will win. She’s had killer reels in the last few years but has always come up short. I think there is a portion of the voting members who think that she overacts. I think that could hurt her.

One of those wins for The Waltons was actually a guest appearance but they submitted in Lead and won due to the rule’s that year.

Correction…Beulah Bondi won for the category “Lead Actress in a Single Performance.” That’s more of a guest win.

I’ve now watched the show all the way through twice (had to prep for various interviews). And I just absolutely adore it. Period.

I think Parsons and McDermott are the best shot in supporting actor….and LuPone in supporting actress.

I love this show. It’s such a nice escape, kind of like a fairy tale (pun intended). It’s fun, it’s optimistic. MVP’s are Parsons, Mantello, LuPone, and especially McDermott. Among the youngsters, Jeremy Pope has the best role and really runs with it.

As for the redemption arc for Parsons’s character, I can understand the mixed feelings. But I think he also knows how awful he really is, and how sad and empty his life will always be. I think Picking is best in the last episode in the two scenes with Parsons.

But God, what a gorgeous looking show!!

I’ve seen the whole series. I can’t say anything because it’s still under embargo. But I can’t wait to see the reaction.

The editors at GD have reached out to the NATAS for explanation and have asked to at least get a list of pre-noms for editorial purposes. They pretty much said, “Not Going to Happen!”

Really? Are we really up in arms about poor Brad? The Kidnapping, lying, whiny little mani-pulator?

Yes the hypocrisy from Carly is rich. But brad deserves what he gets. Also, the writers really did a disservice by having Carly lead the rage. There could have been amazing anger scenes from Lucas or Bobbie.
