Wright was excellent in the first two seasons but I hope he doesn’t win this year. Not just because he isn’t deserving but also because I don’t want this forum to rewrite history again like they did with Thandie Newton and pretend that he had a great season.
If you’re referring to season 2, Thandie Newton definitely had a great season. I think she was just as great in season 2 as she was in season 1. In fact, I think her performance in the episode she submitted and won for, “Akane no Mai” is one of, if not her best performance in the entire series. I remember rooting for Newton in season 1 when Dowd won, but I didn’t root for her in season 2 only because her competition was much stronger than it was the previous year, and there were so many great contenders in that category (I think I was rooting for Kirby), but by no means was Newton not a deserving winner. Newton has been the MVP of Westworld for every season so far, so I don’t think Wright winning this year would be comparable to when Newton won for season 2.
ReplyAugust 2, 2020 at 8:39 pm #1203622818The three acting snubs for Better Call Saul still hurts. Like, even though Esposito got nominated (and I predicted him) , one would have thought that he was least likely to get in. Like how do you watch the season and think “I don’t like their creative choices here” like….this was the BEST season of the show! Seehorn, Odenkirk and Banks were WORTHY…And I usually hated Banks’ namecheck nods for a few seasons, but the season he actually slayed, he gets snubbed. #TheEmmysAreOverParty
This! Besides the names you mentioned, Michael Mando and Tony Dalton were also terrific!
ReplyJuly 31, 2020 at 10:34 am #1203618631So I realised I didn’t post my ranking of likelihood to win yet :
BTW do the Emmys hate Larry David?
Comedy Series
1. Schitt’s Creek
2. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
3. Insecure
4. The Good Place (this could be anywhere from 2 to 8)
5. What We Do in the Shadows (the writers could go all out here)
6. Curb Your Enthusiasm (this is defo bottom 3)
7. Dead to Me (this is defo bottom 3)
8. The Kominsky Method (this really shouldn’t be nominated. I mean if you’re nominating a show about two old white people nominate Grace and Frankie not this pile of crap)Comedy Actor
1. Ramy Youseff (the Billy Porter of this year)
2. Eugene Levy (the Jason Bateman of this year)
3. Ted Danson (probably the Bob Odenkirk of this year)
4. Anthony Anderson (could very will win, has the overdue narrative here)
5. Don Cheadle (again overdue narrative)
6. Michael Douglas (filler)Comedy Actress
1. Issa Rae (she has both the similar stardom aspect that helped PWB last year plus no poc actress has won this category since 1981 and the outcry from last year)
2. Catherine O’Hara (Between her and Rae)
3. Rachel Brosnahan (don’t think she’ll happen but if she happens there is no way Maisel is losing Series. Even if Shalhoub and Borstein lose)
4. Tracee Ellis Ross (she actually has a very interesting narrative and also no poc actress has won this category since 1981. There is also the outcry that no poc actresses were nominated here last year that may make the Academy want to give her the win)
5. Christina Applegate (she is also definitely at the bottom)
6. Linda Cardilleni (she is definitely last)Comedy S. Actor
1. Mahershala Ali (I am predicting a Ramy/Insecure acting sweep)
2. Dan Levy (he could PWB here)
3. Tony Shalhoub (he is in the top 3)
4. William Jackson Harper (I don’t know what to do with him)
5. Sterling K. Brown (possible if they award both a Maisel actor and a poc actor)
6. Kenan Thompson (unlikely but who knows)
7. Alan Arkin (although he could plausibly upset here)
8. Andre Braugher (impossible)Comedy G. Actress
1. Wanda Sykes (I mean if Cherry Jones can win last year for a smaller role then I don’t see why Sykes can’t here when she’s in Maisel, is playing an iconic black comedian and doesn’t face any vote splitting)
2. Angela Bassett (overdue)
3. Bette Midler (well she doesn’t have an acting Emmy and doesn’t face vote splitting with Light here)
4. Maya Rudolph (The Good Place) (overdue generally and for this role but might split with herself)
5. Maya Rudolph (SNL) (see Maya Rudolph for The Good Place)
6. Phoebe Waller-Bridge (non factor)Comedy G. Actor
1. Eddie Murphy (the only way he loses is vote splitting)
2. Luke Kirby (he won last year and is helped by Levi or Alexander’s snubs)
3. Dev Patel (he has a similar narrative to Nicholas Hoult as being a veteran actor who hasn’t won any major non British awards and also he is one of the only poc’s in this category)
4. Fred Willard (when was the last time someone won posthumously for acting? I don’t know could happen here)
5. Adam Driver (too mainstream)
6. Brad Pitt (it would be a joke)Comedy Writing
1. Happy Ending (only loses if there is a vote split)
2. Whenever You’re Ready (wins in a vote split)
3. The Great (Succession won this category with an Academy Award winning writer when it was a non factor elsewhere. It could win)
4. On the Run (Shadows love plus Stefani)
5. Collaboration (I don’t watch Shadows so I’m just ranking it randomly after On the Run)
6. Ghosts (see Collaboration)
7. The Presidential Suite (non factor unless in a vote split)Comedy Directing
1. Miakhalifa.mov (this reminds me of Atlanta winning Directing over Veep)
2. It’s Comedy or Cabbage (if Maisel wins Casting)
3. Happy Ending (if Schitt’s wins Casting)
4. The Great
5. We Love Lucy (acclaimed episode, one of the last great multi cam shows, sentimentality)
6. Finale (sentimentality but surprising it’s in this race)
7. Marvelous Radio (considering Maisel fans generally prefer It’s Comedy or Cabbage and Amy Sherman-Palladino’s name is on the ballot here I doubt Marvelous Radio has a chance at splitting or being in contention. It’s not as if it was the situation last year where We’re Going to the Catskills was the more acclaimed episode in directing or critically)No supporting actress ranking?
ReplyJuly 31, 2020 at 9:26 am #1203618463I do agree Schitt’s and if not Schitt’s then Maisel is probably winning Comedy series but are we really expecting the Television Academy to award an acting sweep to either of those shows when these are the number of poc nominees
This is why they will be our acting winners:

July 30, 2020 at 11:17 pm #1203617666Voters really loved “This Extraordinary Being” which is why I’m predicting Jovan Adepo. He had the standout performance in that episode.
ReplyJuly 30, 2020 at 10:22 pm #1203617595I can see them splitting the acting awards between Schitt’s Creek and Ramy. O’Hara and Murphy for actress and supporting actress and Youssef and Ali for actor and supporting actor. Schitt’s Creek can still win for series, directing, writing, and O’Hara. In that case, Dan Levy would be going home with 3 awards and Eugene Levy wouldn’t be going home empty handed either. That way, all members of the Rose family would be going home with an Emmy without having them sweep all of the acting categories.

ReplyJuly 28, 2020 at 3:29 pm #1203610264That being sad, that nomination for Cousing Greg is trash
Nope. Cousin Greg deserved.
July 28, 2020 at 3:10 pm #1203610164I’m so here for Insecure winning Series
That would be amazing.
ReplyJuly 28, 2020 at 3:08 pm #120361015713 Reasons Why has a Golden Globe nom and Euphoria doesn’t. Lol the Emmys won with this one.
July 28, 2020 at 3:02 pm #1203610121Anyway, I hope the TCA award goes to Rhea Seehorn.
July 28, 2020 at 2:56 pm #1203610075I think even fans of Ozark will agree with this, the show getting TWO cinematography nominations is ridiculous.
How they got 2 and Better Call Saul got 0 is beyond me…
July 28, 2020 at 2:52 pm #1203610047This doesn’t make sense. If they were just checking Succession actors off then J. Smith-Cameron would’ve gotten nominated, she was literally above Sarah Snook on the ballot
This. Although speaking for myself, I loved Succession so much I would have given J. Smith-Cameron and Holly Hunter a vote too haha. How this ensemble was ignored by the Screen Actors Guild is still baffling to me.
