Giri Haji wasn’t renewed for a 2nd season, guess it’s going the Seven Seconds/Watchmen route now

I’ve just binged this show recently and thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful blend of drama and comedy. That finale moved me to tears, which is rare for a TV show. So refreshing, stylish and surprisingly emotional. I can’t tell if I’m disappointed it’s been cancelled as it is perfect on its own.

I am a little confused however? Why was this show shut out by the Emmys? Isn’t it available on Netflix everywhere? Any chance of a resurgence at the Golden Globes especially now it’s been cancelled? I’d personally nominate at least 4 of the actors to begin…

FYC:

Antonio Banderas and Asier Etxeandia, Dolor y Gloria (Best Actor/Supporting Actor)
Emily Beecham, Little Joe (Best Actress)
Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren, The Good Liar (Best Actor/Actress)

I predicted McDormand would win the Volpi Cup to begin a sweep streak. Thank God I was wrong. Kirby is an inspiring choice!

Incorrect. Kate hasn’t been nominated in a corset since the 90s, hence why I referred to “Corset Kate”/her best performances.

The exaggerations that this movie is done already, too funny. People are forgetting how recently movies with mixed reviews still did well with the Academy because of strong performances and/or star power. The raves I’ve read so far single out both stars.

People also seem to forget the Academy appreciates actors trying something different. Ronan is still in a good position I reckon considering she isn’t just “in another literary adaptation”. Corset Kate hasn’t been nominated since the 90s and is getting raves. Ronan has been building goodwill in the Best Actress category, regardless of how this movie is received down the line it will be much easier for her to get into supporting especially in a weak year.

To summarise, people here are being way too premature I reckon. Of course my views might change when I’ve seen the movie but that’s my logical take on why the pair shouldn’t be written off yet.

Star of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The Avengers, Game of Thrones, and my personal favourite Evil Under the Sun.

Any potential for Let Him Go? It’s out in November but I haven’t read the book. Might be wild and suggest Lesley Manville has a shot in Supporting.

Courtney Love screwed herself out of a nomination by wanting to go lead. She’d probably have gotten in as Supporting (taking Joan Allen’s spot.) I always thought her desire to go lead probably had something to do with wanting to beat out Madonna for Evita. She’s always had animosity towards her. (she threw a shoe at Madonna once on MTV live and Madonna said something about this is what recreational drug use does to you.)

I wonder if there’s a chance that in the end Madonna and Courtney vote splitted so that neither were Oscar nominated, the irony! Shame as I thought both were fantastic.

I’m still surprised Jennifer Connelly wasn’t nominated for House of Sand and Fog. It was well received by the Academy and not long after her Oscar win.

Other picks would be Angela Basset for Malcolm X and Jada Pinkett for Ali, Kerry Washington for Ray.
