I’m so happy we’re all taking a day off of arguing over our predictions to unite together to trash Sam Levinson. Anyways my heart hurts for Suzanna Son. If you’ve seen her performance in Red Rocket, you know she’s really talented and deserves better than this. Side note, Red Rocket is a perfect example of a movie that has tons of sex and nudity but it actually fits the tone and plot, rather than just trying to shock you like this show seems to be doing.

SAG is just too big of a deal for me to ignore. Yeah, you need to watch it; it’s fantastic. Maybe keep this in the drafts lol

Lol I’ve always thought Prince Philip is a fascinating character on the show, particularly Tobias Menzies version (his performance in Moondust is spectacular), even if the real Prince Philip was, less than ideal shall we say. In retrospect, I found the older cast members of the past season of The Crown (Staunton, Manville, Dalton, Salim Daw, and yes, Pryce) to be far more interesting than the younger actors this time around.

His performance is very good and would be worthy of a nomination, but it’s not win-worthy and he’s definitely not a lock. I’d put him above Pryce though just because though… My ranking of the > 100/1 odds contenders: 1. Macfadyen 2. Banks 3. Esposito 4. Skarsgard (baby) 5. Lithgow 6. Skarsgard (daddy) 7. Ruck 8. Sharpe 9. Smith 10. Abraham 11. Braun 12. Imperioli 13. Hollander 14. Pryce

Really admire your confidence in Banks getting a nomination. His monologue in Point and Shoot was classic Mike Ermantraut material. Love the mix of matter of fact instructions with sheer disgust at the situation. Anyways I might have to actually watch The White Lotus to see if any of the men can knock Pryce out of my predictions. (And I actually liked his performance.)

As someone who hasn’t watched HOTD (or even Game of Thrones for that matter), can someone explain why Matt Smith is so high up in the supporting actor predictions? Is he like just really good? I don’t remember hearing much buzz on his performance when the show aired. I know he’s a previous nominee, but The Crown is a very different show. For what it’s worth my current predictions in this category are

1. MacFadyen

2. Skarsgard

3. Abraham

4. Esposito

5. Braun

6. Ruck

7. Banks

8. Pryce (the final two slots are up in the air, but I still don’t see Smith or Lithgow cracking it currently)

Predicting Mirren over Staunton is crazy. I get season 5 of The Crown didn’t exactly light the world on fire but if you’re gonna predict Pryce over Skarsgard or even Banks, you gotta have Staunton I feel.

Michelle MacLaren is a legend for directing some of the best Breaking Bad episodes, but in no way do I see “Nippy” getter the Better Call Saul nomination over “Saul Gone.” Or for that matter, “Fun and Games.” Or if Gilligan had submitted himself, “Point and Shoot” or “Waterworks.”

We’re mad and confused now, but when Brian Cox submits last week’s episode and still ends up winning, we’ll probably just be even more mad and confused.

completely agree, but I’m ranking them by likelihood. Ruck and Skarsgard have much better material than Braun (who I feel his best material was way back in season one), but we know emmy voters can be lazy and just name check previous nominees.

So assuming Cox goes supporting, how many succession actors do we think get in that category? My rankings are:

1. Macfadyen (locked)

2. Cox (extremely likely, a threat to win)

3. Braun (quite likely)

4. Ruck (probable)

5. Skarsgard (possible)

oh and solidarity

I never knew Sally was considered unlikeable. I love her!

You gotta remember that while Barry is a trained assassin, Sally is a woman, so it’s hard for some audience members to figure out who’s worse. (Heavy sarcasm as Sally is an incredibly well written character)

Also speaking of Barry, I’m really thinking Stephen Root might return at the emmys again. He missed last season in part because Barry had faded from public consciousness as mentioned here earlier, but also Fuches had less material in season three. Whereas so far this season, his material has been on par with Winklers and Carrigan’s and Root absolutely crushes it. His outburst last episode was hysterical, as was him personally identifying with a Tom Cruise character.

Wait has the predictions center been updated? I see Culkin has been moved out of drama supporting actor, but I don’t see him in lead either.

Do we know how prominent of a role Streep will have in OMITB? I don’t watch the show, and I get she’s probably the biggest name in acting, but she seems like a classic guest star.
