“Nightmare” is ok. She’s doing a great job of staying visible. I still think “Without Me” is the strongest SOTY contender this year

Phoenix will absolutely be a contender. He even has th Oscar season release date

The final shot of the finale was beautiful. I’m glad we got a hopeful ending for Pete Holmes. He deserves an Emmy nomination for this show. He carried each episode with grace. He’s been regarded as a standup talent for years, but his dramatic range on this show was outstanding.

John Mulaney was brilliant on the final episode of Crashing tonight. Obviously he’s already a front runner in this category for SNL, but his was outstanding on the Crashing finale

Judd Apatow confirms with Conan O’Brien that this Sunday’s episode is the final episode of Crashing.

Interesting note on this season:

Crashing’s total viewers are up 4.5% this season, despite its lead-in High Maintenance being down 44.62%.

Any growth after a weak lead-in is impressive. I’m not optimistic about renewal chances though

This Sunday is the season finale with guest star John Mulaney. Social media for both the series and Judd Apatow are cautiously calling this the “finale.” HBO has not renewed Crashing or its lead-in High Maintenance yet. This episode may have been written as a series closer in the event that it isn’t renewed

Does Green Book’s box office performance during Oscar season hint at some momentum? It seems to be the only release that gained traction. While that doesn’t ultimately mean much (bigger Nomination period hits like Hidden Figures & American Sniper didn’t benefit from box office), it does suggest a warming opinion towards it.

Also, Green Book…[Read more]

I was literally replying to your point about the show’s lack of nominations in the past 2 years. I should’ve said “its Emmy history”

I stand by my statement that it should be part of this year’s discussion. The series is hitting its stride in Season 3. You already know Veep, Maisel & Barry are in. Atlanta, Master oh None, Silicon Valley are all out. And I personally think Crashing would be a worthy nominee, regardless of Emmy history.

Madeline Wise from “Crashing” should absolutely be on the radar for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She’s been a great addition to the cast

And the “Crashing” episode about sexism in comedy (“MC, Middle, Headliner”) should be in the discussion for writing (Written by Dave King & Mike Lawrence & Pete Holmes) & directing (Oren Brimer.…[Read more]

Madeline Wise has been amazing this season and should absolutely be a contender for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. This week’s episode (S3E5, “Mom & Kay”) had her clashing with Pete’s mom and she was excellent!

Boomer called it over a month ago

This week’s episode (S3E4, premiered Sunday Feb 10th) is generating a lot of press for taking on sexism in the comedy world. HBO will surely submit this week’s episode “MC, Middle, Headliner” for a writing Emmy. It takes on the older male chauvinist comedians struggling in the #MeToo era, while also showing the sexism women in the industry face fr…[Read more]

Tonight’s episode took a direction the series hadn’t tried before: it was very sweet. Pete’s new love interest, played by Madeline Wise, is extremely charming. I’m looking forward to seeing where her story arc goes. It also really showcased Pete Holmes as a romantic leading man. The chemistry between the two was outstanding

John David Washington was robbed

Bradley Cooper will win an Oscar, but not this year

They were charming considering that was all ad-lib. With proper writing, they would’ve been great hosts

I’m legitimately shocked that Bradley Cooper is not going to win any Oscars for A Star is Born. After this year, he will be 0 for 7
