She likely would have got in if she had an accent

Reminds me of younger Kevin Spacey. The good Kevin Spacey.

Anyone who proudly identifies as a Stan generally has poor reasoning skills in my experience. They haven’t made a cogent argument supporting their position throughout this entire thread.

He was very hyped on the internet in general. Reddit is losing their mind over him, BCS, and Mr. Robot (although I never thought Mr. Robot was any good to begin with).

It could be something as simple as Emmy voters finding his character annoying and letting it shade their opinion of the performance. It is weird that Ozark got so many…[Read more]

Killing Eve also airs on BBC America and was a much buzzier show this year. But point taken. I still think BCS was hurt by being difficult to watch.

I think what this years nominees show that show that aren’t immediately available on one of the streaming services moving on are severly limiting their nomination chances moving forward. AMC needs to cut a deal with Netflix for next day airing of new episodes.

I think it’s fair to say that voters are doing less due diligence. Which implies they weren’t lazy in the past, though. They were. Big time. And they get things wrong every year. It seems to be it’s the byproduct of there being way more Emmy voters or people who only apply as a status symbol and could care less (and know or care less about…[Read more]

They got Aniston nominated in drama so they obviously did something right.

Zendaya was definitely a surprising nomination but it’s certainly wasn’t undeserved. I can’t imagine anyone who watched that show actually would think that. Her biggest hurdle was always going to be that the show was so flawed and relied so much on style and aesthetic but she was definitely the strongest part of the show which is reflected in her…[Read more]

I forgot to fill one out this year. Tom Pelfrey not being nominated was super surprising to me. I thought he was going to win. Rhea Seehorn did something in a previous life that keeps getting her snubbed so it’s less of a surprise.

I am really surprised by how well Succession did in the acting categories and how well Ozark did in the writing…[Read more]

Michaela Cole is a pretty fantastic writer and performer. This is a deeply moving show and while difficult to watch at times, when you’re in the hands of an excellent storyteller you know putting your trust in them will pay off. There’s no agenda. This show deals with the discomfort and levity of life extremely well. Which is not an easy accomplishment.

Some people are way too fanatical about Sarah Paulson. Although, I tend to agree this episode was a lot better than Margo Martindale’s episode. Quite frankly, I’m having trouble staying engaged in this series. It’s obviously a well done show. The writing seems solid and the performances are pretty wonderful and the topic is interesting but there…[Read more]

This is hilarious to me because that’s how we all felt through season 2 episode 5. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better again.

I watched this show a few weeks into quarantine and there was a lot to like. Specifically, the supporting cast. I’d heard of Lil Dicky but never actually knew who he was or what his shtick was about. So, going into the show it took me a few episodes to realize that this guy was the same person as Lil Dicky who I’d heard about. And maybe there…[Read more]

I have a lot of issues with this show in terms of the writing but it’s nothing worth making a stink over. And really, it’s a vehicle for Applegate and Cardellini to show off how awesome they are. There’s no show without their performances and relationship. And I like James Marsden so I was okay with how they continued to incorporate him in the…[Read more]

I recently re-watching Raising Hope and Garrett Dillhunt’s performance of Burt Chance is one of m favorite comedic performances ever.

I loved Jason and Dewey. Jason is often the only source of comedy in The Good Place. I love the show but it was rarely hilarious. Jason and Derek give the most LOL moments throughout the series. Loved the shout…[Read more]

Maybe to fanatics. As far as cultural relevance, it was the one where whats his name got shot but that wasn’t the point anyhow. It was never a show that was crazy prevalent in the TV zeitgeist, at least not to the extent of Breaking Bad, which was my point. Which isn’t to say it wasn’t a popular show. Just not popular enough to make the point they…[Read more]

So ultimately, it’s a decent-to-good show that is on an upswing with a really good third season

This sums up my feelings about the show pretty well.

I feel like there was a similar question in why Aaron Paul beat Giancarlo Esposito around that time and people had trouble accepting that the younger performance was simply considered better.

If you got to interview every single academy voter that voted Panjabi above Baranski I am confident you wouldn’t be satisfied with any of their a…[Read more]
