Maggie Smith won for nothing. La Streep was sensational in at least two episodes of BLL. She’ll win the fucking Emmy.

Has anybody read Liv Ullmann’s autobiography? She writes about that night. I read it three-four years ago and my sole memory is that she really disses Diana Ross. In every discussion on that race, people point out that Diana Ross was campaigning aggressively. Liv Ullmann, too, presents her as quite hungry for an Oscar.

It’s surprising that people point out Johansson isn’t well-liked or respected enough to get her first nomination and predict Erivo instead. Erivo is a newbie in Hollywood. She might have a Tony, but plenty of people have Tonys and never make it in Hollywood.

Not to mention that Erivo, pretty much like Johansson, has proven to be a jerk who can’t…[Read more]

The man is Chicago’s producer – Martin Richards. You can see by his expression that he was thinking: Oh my, I’m losing best picture.

You have to remember that Chicago had 13 nominations, it swept the precursors (DGA, PGA, SAG, Cinema Editors Guild, Globes, Critics’ Choice) and then it kept losing major awards. The Pianist had zero guild…[Read more]

But does it have anything to do with a make-up win? She got her make-up win – for her awful performance in Cold Mountain. She now has the comeback momentum for an absolutely unremarkable performance that’s touted as the big actory showcase and it’s just dull. But she didn’t deserve to win for Chicago. To me, she was fourth at best. She did not…[Read more]

I can’t believe Julianne Moore (Far From Heaven) and Meryl Streep (Adaptation) didn’t win that year. These are the rarest of performances – subtle, beautifully created, vulnerable. All due respect to Kidman, but she doesn’t even come close.

Somebody mentioned the BAFTA. BAFTA alone has not pushed a lead actress winner, but Globe + BAFTA appears…[Read more]

It’s all speculations, as I don’t even have the slightest idea how things came along back then, but there are several factors to take under considerations for 1984:

1. Page wasn’t even a Globe nominee (which wasn’t a huge issue and actors still can win without a Globe nod), but it comes to show that the press wasn’t all about how overdue she…[Read more]

It was such a disappointing episode. It felt rushed and random.

Nope, haters. She won’t get a Razzie nomination for a performance that no matter what, isn’t badly received. Most critics actually singled out her work as the sole good thing in that film, so nope. Hate on.

The only thing I read about Little Women somewhere was that people who’ve seen it declared Streep and Pugh the MVPs.

Do you think so? Well, Jessica has never been a subtle actor, but she has gotten so broad in her characterisation lately. It’s as if she plays the same thing over and over and over and over again. It’s getting ridiculous.

Actually GoT could very well (and is even likely to) become the first TV drama with 4 Emmy wins in the top category that does not win at least one top drama Globe. The other four have at least one top Globe each.

And JLD looks like if she’s losing the Globe. They obviously don’t care much about her performance and given the reception of the…[Read more]

A big NO.
This is the award voted by the industry. You have the People Choice. We don’t need another award voted by the public.

Let’s ignore the winners for a while and discuss the show. There’s not so much to discuss, as NBC’s design from last year was kept nearly intact. And maybe you disagree, but I find it awful. It all looked as if they arranged it all in a single afternoon. They didn’t even show the split screen when winners were announced. This takes away the…[Read more]

They gave drama to GoT but it was mainoy due to the lack of an obvious alternative. The show had a very weak night with two wins only, just like last year. It has not won directing or writing in years. And none of the other acting nods turned into a in. It wasn’t the huge love fest some had expected.

Let’s see whether my 2 for Patty prediction pays off. Probably not.

How did Borstein won from vote splitting? It had two very competitive nominees.
