Not gonna lie, I’m really glad things turned out pretty well for Almodovar this year. Solid return to form.

I’ve been keeping my eye on Atlantics since Cannes festival. Rather surprised it is consider to be in the mix for nom, nonetheless, very happy if this is indeed true.

Corpus Christi (Poland) – This would be somehow a shocker? But again, a…[Read more]

HBO Max for me, especially with that Ghibli news, which is mindblowing. It also has Killing Eve, so that’s a priority for me. Currently have HBO Go as part of a cable package, but I’m moving to my new house and planning to ditch the cable and buy HBO Go separately, so I can drop and renew subscription anytime I want.

I also have Netflix: we split…[Read more]

This is really fascinating. Great read!

One of the things that terrifies me about this streaming war, is how much money is wasted in this battlefield. One could say that was always the case with everything that Hollywood does, but I feel like TV executives are losing their heads. It’s like they stopped thinking rationally.

Like pop songs these…[Read more]

I reached a point where I think I’m gonna block ‘succession’ on twitter. LOL

People (well, at least the ones online) went seriously crazy for that show.

I’m scared that my reaction will be similar to Deadwood Movie. Pretty much every critic loved it, meanwhile I was utterly disappointed by it.

Overall, I’m not sure I dig this new trend “six seasons and a movie”.

And that’s exactly what we are talking about here.
It’s not like we haven’t seen plenty of shows that flourished in terms of hype and recognition at the award shows in s.2, while s.1 was mostly ignored by the same industry (for eg. Fleabag).

But even that is not the case with Succession, since the show already won little something for s.1.

Oh, for sure, but that’s the thing, I certainly noticed a bit of “industry hype” for this show. That hype doesn’t necessary give you ratings, but awards? Absolutely.

Two episodes behind, I think I said it once, but yeah, it’s the type of a show that awards and critics needed and wanted. Something that will fill the void after Mad Men, The Amaricans and GOT etc. Something that gives the crowd everything: memes and gifs and think pieces and has this “prestigue” vibe.

I wouldn’t say it’s my fave show at the…[Read more]

Interesting, because in Europe I would say it is completely the opposite. Not sure if other folks from our continet can confirm this, but I would say HBO and HBO Go is far more popular and “accessible” than Amazon Prime.

Basicially, in my country if you have cable then chances are you also have HBO & HBO Go. On its own HBO Go is one of the most…[Read more]

It’s Vicky Jones’ show, but it’s true that all media outlets ignore this, plus Pheobe’s name probably generates bigger interest for their articles.

Chernobyl dominance and wins in directing, writing and limited series.
Also, glad I switched to Jodie and was confident in Succession in writing.

I made dumb mistake with removing Julia Garner from my no.1 spot yesterday, and didn’t listen my final gut feeling that Fleabag will take directing (tho I would probably changed it if I had time,…[Read more]

alright, I’m gonna change it to Fiona, but I’m having a hard time to imagine that KE will win two awards tonight. Tho tbf, acting was never an issue on this show.

Yeah, I have to agree with this.

With Phoebe, it was a bit of domino effect. Fleabag s.1 put her on the map in the US, but it was still very small show in terms of recognizability in the industry. Then KE happened and that show moved her name in the rankings to another level. The timing for second season of Fleabag was simply perfect. She nailed it.

When it comes to supporting actress, I always felt vote splitting would happen between 3 and not 4 GOT actress (Sophie was never a real competition).

If true, then it’s nice to hear that Shaw got some votes, but if there was indeed a strong & strategic approach from HBO to this category, then GOT actress for sure is winning.

I won’t be doing that, but I always just before the ceromeny go nuts with some of predictions and I’m keeping Catherine at no 1 in best comedy actress and changing Sandra to Jodie in best drama actress, because Shailene Woodley told me to do it.

LOL, loved this. Sian is my girl, but honestly, even with less screentime, every single scene with Oliva was gold. She has impeccable comedic timing, so yeah I won’t be mad at all if she wins.

I think it’s because she made a big deal out of it.

Rightfully so.
AMC/BBCA president was asked about it many times after season one and she always says the same thing: the show has two leads, two strong POV characters.
She was aksed about it again after Jodie’s BAFTA win, and she once again said they will not do it. source

Of course, they might change their minds in the future, but I honestly…[Read more]

Either Sandra Oh or Jodie Comer winning Best Actress Drama.

I literally don’t care about anything else.

Some of these comments are despicable, but I am eating up all this shade with a spoon. Omg. Whether I agree with it or not:

You missed that one, lol: “This Is Us I hate, and we can just forget that one.”
