My main concern with this whole thing is that I saw so many dumb Marvel stans screaming about how Scorsese knew nothing about film and was just jealous or something. Scorsese shouldn’t be judging an entire genre without seeing most of its films, that’s true, but his assessment was pretty damn close to the truth. It really becomes apparent when people deride a man who made Taxi Driver and Goodfellas for having no taste when they screech over the fan service mediocrity storm known as Avengers: Endgame. Good taste is becoming harder to find, so good films are playing less in theaters – it’s no wonder Scorsese took his latest film to Netflix instead.

This. Their taste in direction isn’t always very inspired – Ozark is an obvious example, but they doubled down on Fosse/Verdon before nominating Jean-Marc Vallee, who did a better job on Sharp Objects than the Emmy-winning Big Little Lies. And David Lynch lost to Ryan Murphy.
September 28, 2019 at 8:16 am #1203110066This show is totally crazy. I don’t think it’s very good at all, several steps down from Glee, but its entropy is good fun. The way it casually deals with attempted murder and suicide and The Act vibes is seriously disturbing, but I sort of like it.
ReplySeptember 23, 2019 at 4:53 pm #1203098715Succession might just turn out to be HBO’s next awards darling, and will probably be a major contender for writing alongside The Crown. Ozark has been doing really well in the directing categories and is probably going to emerge as a frontrunner after two years of being underestimated.
September 23, 2019 at 6:22 am #1203097558I really do not like Ozark, but its increasingly strong performance at the Emmys suggests it’s going to be the Breaking Bad that Better Call Saul never was.

Lead Actress in a Limited Series (Amy Adams please, but if not Michelle Williams and not Patricia Arquette)
Comedy Series (Rooting for Fleabag, Barry, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel)
Comedy Actress (JLD all the way but PWB was great too)
Comedy Directing (Obviously “ronny/lily” is the way to go but I sense a “Teddy Perkins” vibe with it)
And I don’t care about anything in the drama series, because I didn’t love any this time around besides Better Call Saul which obviously won’t win anything.
ReplySeptember 15, 2019 at 8:16 am #1203076376Props for the high placements of There Will Be Blood and In The Mood For Love. But Mulholland Drive at 11th? Joke. A Serious Man at 18th, but no Inside Llewyn Davis? Furthermore, No Country For Old Men deserved better. And where’s The Master? If you’re of the mind that Boyhood surpassed Call Me By Your Name or Lady Bird as a coming of age film, you should be concerned about your mental health. 12 Years A Slave is a solid film, but it wasn’t as good as Moonlight and neither should be that high anyway.

Source? Need to see this
September 10, 2019 at 7:18 pm #1203068551Don’t have a particular reason, but I’d love to see Bill Hader present something.
ReplySeptember 10, 2019 at 4:20 pm #1203068306Also, we should be prepared for The Morning Show to be a travesty that instantly disappears off the grid.
September 10, 2019 at 3:48 pm #1203068269I love all the ladies in the Lead Drama Actress category, but with a nomination for Fleabag as well as her surprise Oscar and the fact that she’s always such a tremendous delight, I think it’s safe to say that Olivia Colman will be snatching the Emmy in a landslide.
September 9, 2019 at 5:49 pm #1203066619Let us just ignore this violent atrocity of a list which sears the eyes like a solar eclipse. Space for Supernatural, but not The Deuce?
Marvelous list by Mukund, though.
