I watch Barry, but I don’t like it. Sarah Goldberg is the only one who deserves some kinda recognition for that shitshow and I’m glad she got nominated.

The only person alive besides Guest to not like Barry is you. Sorry, you lack taste.

Why is no one talking about Russian Doll? It got 13 nominations including 2 in writing. Sure it missed directing (Maisel missed writing btw), but it shouldn’t be ignored.

It doesn’t have quite the same hype as Fleabag and Barry.

If Emilia wins, I’m done with Emmys. Like for real. No more scoops, nothing, nada. I don’t mind her getting nominated because this was her best season to date acting wise. But gurl does not deserve to win. Especially with that competition. I’ve only seen two seasons of TiU and if Moore is as good in third as she was in those two then even she deserves it more than Emilia.

Why the hate towards Emilia? She did excellent with the material she was given and this was a very Daenerys focused season. Why do people keep acting like she doesn’t deserve Best Actress? She absolutely does.

Fleabag could very well win. The Academy loves women-centered comedies so Fleabag has a good shot. Plus besides Barry, it’s the only other comedy that got in for all of the major categories. However, I have to add something about Bill Hader. He is the most modest man in the world. If you listen to or read his interviews, he’s the most humble guy in the world. He will always say he’ll vote for someone else or give someone else credit for his work. He even said he didn’t know which episodes his producer was submitting for writing and directing (c’ mon, yes he did, but he still said he didn’t). But nevertheless, he is such a talented beast. I still think it’s Barry vs Fleabag. Or Maisel vs Barry. I still think Barry is in the top 2.

If the Game of Thrones actresses split the vote, so will Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. Emilia is taking that award.

Btw, Maisie got the biggest applause.

This cast is truly delusional saying the hate was media-led. It’s going to be truly embarrassing when they win multiple Emmys, use them as an example of the season being liked, and gets attacked on social media even more for not caring about and dismissing what their audience, not voters, thinks.

It was a pretty nice farewell panel overall I guess… and they went over what made the show great and how it unified people. But the whole panel was on the defense about why Season 8 was so great. They claimed they were cool with the backlash but you could tell they were tense. They also asked for people to wait in line to ask questions, then “ran out of time” to do a Q&A…

SDCC reporting: They repeatedly told the fans to “stay nice” before the GoT stars came out for their panel. They didn’t do a Q&A with fans as I expected lol… They said they ran out of time so couldn’t open it up to the floor…yikes.

Just getting to Hall H now! People seem to be being nice but the panel doesn’t start for another half hour so we’ll see…If they open it up to the floor, I expect some hostile questions.

What you guys think is the best Emilia tape? I know a lot of you have “The Last of Starks” as choice but for me her best scene is Jorah death in “The Long Night” and her best episode is “The Bells”. But maybe because of the screentime, Last of Starks could do a better job for the few voters that still watch tapes.

Most likely “The Bells” or “The Last of the Starks”.

Like Riley said, it’s pretty sad that such a low-rated TV show will win Best Drama this year when TV is the height of entertainment.

I am curious about the mood in the room and please tell us later on who got the biggest reaction. I know this is not a popularity contest, but… who the fuck and I kidding. Of course it is. Sad Emilia and Lena don’t go to these things. They need to know how much they’re valued.

I will for sure. This year the only main cast member attending will be Nikolaj. Maisie will be there too but it’ll be a small panel since 5 people dropped out. I’m a little disappointed with the moderator choice. I was hoping for Kimmel but oh well. Let’s just hope they don’t get too scrutinized. That’ll be really uncomfortable.
