The results of an award voted by fans on this website will have no bearing on my Emmy predictions. I’m not changing anything because of this.

I think the snub of Shallow winning either SOTY or ROTY this year only propels Gaga’s narrative for AOTY going to ASIB, as I believe this to be the only place she would be awarded in the General Field this year. Unless ARUTW pulls a miracle and rightfully is nominated for SOTY.

Both Senorita and Truth Hurts would make great picks for the #1 slot. I kind of hope Senorita sticks around at least for 2 weeks, then Lizzo can claim her throne.

Predictions as of 8/29/19:

Album of the Year
1. A Star Is Born- Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper
2. WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? – Billie Eilish
3. Lover- Taylor Swift
4. thank u, next- Ariana Grande
5. Cuz I Love You – Lizzo
6. Ventura- Anderson Paak
7. Father of the Bride- Vampire Weekend
8. Center Point Road- Thomas Rhett

Favorites on the album are:
– Cruel Summer
– The Man
– Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince
– Paper Rings
– London Boy

All of these are radio ready!

To me, Juice and Tempo are THE BOPS from Lizzo’s album. They should be the big songs everyone knows. Maybe there’s still time for them to catch the public’s attention.

You raise a great point. The adults at the Grammys will award Lizzo properly.

Yes, because Lizzo is more talented.

We must remember that this is the VMAs and that Lizzo will have a MUCH longer career than Billie Eilish. She’s totally fine and she KILLED it tonight!

Wait, did Lizzo NOT win?!? Was it Billie…?

Ya’ll really are pressed. It’s the VMAs, not the Grammys so calm down. I’ll always argue that Thank U, Next was the best video of this cycle for its brilliant use of 2000s romcoms as a theme, but YNTCD is still fun. The Shawn and Camila hate on GD is REALLY concerning. Like, just let them lives their lives, jeez.

1. Because Netflix rarely understands what its doing or how to market its programs

2. They are probably worried about backlash (warranted or unwarranted) based on prior seasons.

Regardless, I found this season just as enthralling as the first two. I was talking to someone about it and we both agreed that it’s rare for shows with high school…[Read more]

I think Brittany Runs a Marathon will be this year’s Trainwreck. I am expecting noms Jillian Bell for Best Actress and the film for Best Comedy (if Oscar contending dramas aren’t taking up space here).

It was such a good film. Would love for it to sneak into Best Original Screenplay. Preferred this much more than The Farewell, which I also liked.

On its own, I don’t think I would listen to this album and think “wow, this needs a Grammy,” but when the “front-runners” are the likes of Ariana and Billie, then yes, I think an actual Pop album should be rewarded.

Mentioned it in the Taylor thread, but I’ll say it here too:
I think Lover has a chance at an AOTY nomination, but if the voters aren’t feeling Ariana Grande and her album, I can see Taylor taking Pop Vocal Album (I’m not convinced that Pop voters are going to award Pop Vocal to Billie who provides neither the Pop or the Vocal that the award suggests).

This album is so easy to listen too and a welcomed surprise after the release of ME! and You Need To Calm Down. I think it has a chance at an AOTY nomination, but if the voters aren’t feeling Ariana Grande and her album, I can see Taylor taking Pop Vocal Album (I’m not convinced that Pop voters are going to award Pop Vocal to Billie who provides…[Read more]

Yay Senorita! Anything to knock off Bad Guy is welcomed 🙂

Rashad deserves the win. Immediately after watching her episode I thought there could be a whole series revolving around Rashad’s character as principal of a high school and all the challenges she faces and students she helps. I’d watch it in a heartbeat.

I’m excited to see Kit Harrington in this, as it seems to be a much different character for him than his previous work. Even if its terrible, I have a hard time passing up this cast.

Hopefully it will get a US release date soon (I noticed that The Current Wars will finally be released this fall in the US too)

I’m starting to wonder if this could be Adam Driver’s year. If Marriage Story ends up being a contender and his arc in Star Wars is done well, his hype will be high right around the time of voting for the Globes, right? We all know the Oscars are now just sheep to the Globes, so it could work out well for him.
