I feel like people have forgotten that Apple TV+ has only been around for 2 Emmys, so saying Ted Lasso is the only series with an Emmy nomination is a bit meaningless in terms of indicating the streamer’s over/underperformance. Not to mention winning an Oscar in terms of visibility and new subscribers.

May 17, 2022 at 5:11 am #120495451620 nominations is ridiculous. Can we please stop comparing these two incredible shows? Succession is near perfect and has been since season 1 and Severance is excellent and may do slightly better than Succession season 1 for nominations mostly in acting. Who knows. More critiques of late capitalism I say.

Loving my new “if you don’t feel like watching it, you don’t have to watch it” mantra.

May 16, 2022 at 12:51 pm #1204953936I was almost certain they were saving Bill Hader’s return for May 🙁
I was 100% sure Hader wouldn’t host this season. I don’t think he’s been to NYC since the pandemic and I also think he’s a bit over the pressure of a live show. Also this was a Forte and Sudeikis season.

May 16, 2022 at 6:41 am #1204953628This season will be one of the worst for bringing outstanding women to host. Gomez had the same affliction as Kardashian in being completely unable or unwilling to move her face or mouth.
Only seven women will have hosted this season (from 21 episodes): Kardashian, Eilish, DeBose, Kravitz, Lizzo, Gomez and Lyonne. Undoubtedly, the best two were the double duty duo of Eilish and Lizzo, but overall it was a pretty poor selection, Lyonne notwithstanding. Incredibly, not a single woman over the age of 43 (Lyonne, next week) and an average age of 33. The youngest host was Eilish at 20 years old (still 19 when she hosted). Among the 14 men, the average hosting age was 44 (11 years older), with Defoe at 66 years the oldest, and Jonathan Majors at 32 the youngest. There were six male hosts older than the oldest woman.
Overall this has been a disapointing season for women hosts, even when the women on the cast are fantastic. I thought there was some correction of the gender bias at SNL in recent years but they really need to do better next season. Pick more women, and better ones.

May 16, 2022 at 3:56 am #1204953512Ugh if Kate McKinnon gets in I’ll be so annoyed. She’s begun to stank up my screen. Like there was no need for her to be wedged into the cold open this week, but she found a way. Can’t have old Kate not being in the cold open, can we? She’s really not very funny anymore but seems like a limelight hog who needs to overshadow the newbies.

May 16, 2022 at 3:46 am #1204953498Love Ted Lasso but Goldstein didn’t deserve to win last year with no competition let alone this year when he’s being outperformed by like 5 other actors.
He deserved for his season 2 performance, which would have been awarded this September. However the Academy gave it to him in advance for the wrong season. He has no need to win for season 2 as he already won it (obv it won’t play out like this) …
Also I have my fingers and toes crossed for Anthony Carrigan, if they give me something more to do this season. But BTH is very deserving too. He’s the only one from the show who is.

May 16, 2022 at 3:43 am #1204953491This episode was clever in tying it to earlier seasons, in fact the very first scene of the pilot, in order to connect the third season which is tonally quite different, delayed by 3 years and also set outside Gene’s theatre. It rooted the whole show together.
Highlights were Sally’s Oscar acceptance speech for getting a 98 on Rotten Tomatoes, and Fred Malemed turning up as Gene’s agent. The scene with Melamed, Winkler and Joe Mantegna was hilarious.
I love how this show weaves strong central themes through all of the characters and makes you ask – well if it’s ok for this person, is it not also ok for this person?
I am very nervous for Katie, but we know Barry doesn’t kill children don’t we. Don’t we.

You have to be kidding. Why? Post Malone had more charisma than she did.

May 14, 2022 at 1:21 pm #1204952030Haven’t watched the episode yet, but yay!! I’m so glad she was able to come back, and she honestly makes the most sense to me to get nominated out of the guests I’ve seen this season.
Nah her sketch was meh. If they nominate anyone in guest it should be Raven Symone from episode 5. Overall not as strong a season as season 2 but still lots of fun. Ashley Nicole Black and Gabrielle Dennis are so talented and hilarious.

May 12, 2022 at 1:56 pm #1204950341The latest episode of The Flight Attendant was great (Rosie Perez arc aside). There’s one scene which hit unbelievably close to home and was sensationally written and acted. I’m liking this season more than season 1. It feels more unified (usual Rosie Perez issues notwithstanding) in terms of plot.

May 12, 2022 at 2:32 am #1204949687Ladies and gentlemen, Renee Ellis Goldberry is wiping the floor with her competition. At least give her the emmy nomination. She should be win competitive though
She is honestly such a quadruple threat (singing, dancing, acting, comedy), I love her to bits.

May 10, 2022 at 4:01 pm #1204948536I wonder how much Tom Holland is getting for The Crowded Room on Apple TV+ on which he’s also EP. Following Spider-Man and Uncharted could it also be in the >$1m range per episode?

May 10, 2022 at 2:14 pm #1204948431Except you can see the it jump from a steady level of nothing until the show started airing. This was a thin argument I figured nobody here would be foolish enough to make. Either you are being deliberately obtuse or just really bad at reading data and graphs.
Correlation does not imply causation. I work with data and information and where I work, data is literally life or death so it’s certainly not a case of being bad at reading data and graphs lol.
