HexMachina Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Disappointing year for Westworld. I think it was deserving of Best Drama over Killing Eve (definitely) and Stranger Things (perhaps). The other nominees not sure, as I have only seen the Crown out of them. I would also have expected nominations for Evan Rachel Wood and Aaron Paul. *Shrug* You haven't included Guest Actor/Actress so I missed that Laverne Cox was nominated as a Guest in OitNB (holy hell, that was this Emmy cycle? Feels like forever ago that the show finished with its resounding fart sound). This is kind of hilarious, not because she was bad or anything, but because she had about 2 minutes of screen time (so, you know, about the same as they gave her post season...4 I think?) I only clocked this because someone shared the weird video of when Leslie Jones announced her nomination. I don't know if Laverne was just surprised herself or if it was technical difficulties but it was a pretty bizarre interaction! Have a watch if you haven't seen it already. Comedy, haven't got much to say, except I would have liked to see Sex Education get a nomination, love that show so much. Drama actors/actresses, as mentioned above for ERW and Aaron Paul. Glad Helena Bonham Carter got a supporting actress nomination, I thought she did a great job on the Crown. I'm also happy with the Killing Eve acting nominations, my complaints with the season had nothing to do with the acting. I especially liked Fiona Shaw this season, which leaves me torn over who I want to win that category. Ugh, looking again you also have Laura Dern and Meryl Streep. Again, I have no complaints there, the problems with S2 were not the acting. So the only two I'm not rooting for are Ozark and the Handmaid's Tale - purely because I haven't seen them.

Mladen Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Honestly, I look at these nominations and the more I watch them, the more WTF feeling it is. There were times when I knew all the nominees and the shows. This year I feel like I am looking at "Best ornithology seminar in Southern Brazil" award. Drama category was a bit more traditional, although for the love of me, I don't understand how voters can ignore The Good Fight and its amazing cast. At least three of the nominated shows - The Handmaid's Tale, Stranger Things and Killing Eve were mediocre at best, with The Crown being adequate (I mean, great TV but nothing new). I am happy about The Mandalorian. Luckily, the genre TV is not dead. I haven't seen Pose, Succession or The Morning Show so I am out of water with the acting nominees. Honest to God, I don't understand how Nicole Kidman was not nominated for Big Little Lies. I can't even begin to discuss comedy categories as I know only about The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. I have literally never heard of some of those shows. I was better acquainted with Limited Series. In terms of Mrs America vs Watchmen, I would go Watchmen over Mrs America, but undoubtedly Blanchett over King. I am not sure baout Blanchett winning this, but I swear, she was in league of her own this year. The ending alone is not Emmy, but Oscar worthy performance. I have no idea what happened to Rose Byrne and Sarah Paulson as they would have been my picks instead of Aduba and Martindale for Mrs America. All in all, it's a complete mess.

Mladen Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Oh, fu*k... https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-07-30/steinem-and-smeal-why-mrs-america-is-bad-for-american-women?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true No way Blanchett is winning after the show is called "bad for women" by none other than Gloria Steinem.

Nictarion Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 What We Do in the Shadows is the funniest show going right now, imo. Doubt it has much of a chance to win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it has much of a chance to win though. I was initially a bit nervous that it wouldn't live up to the movie, especially when it seemed like it might effectively be a remake (except in Staten Island rather than New Zealand) but I think they have expanded the premise with things like Colin Robinson. I think it might also be better suited to the TV sitcom format rather than a film, although the film is still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she would have a good chance to win with the powerhouse Kim centric past season, especially with so many critics praising her to the sky, instead, totally overlooked. Not like I watch the Emmys anymore, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has Tilda Swinton?! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 This year is yet another one of those that proves that a good chunk of the voters, if not most, doesn't actually watch the shows. For example, no one that actually watches Better Call Saul would only nominate Giancarlo Esposito this year, considering he didn't had all that much to do, leaving Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn and Tony Dalton out. On the other hand, someone that watched Breaking Bad, but isn't really following BCS all that closely or at all could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's still there (I think they keep them for 6 months). Hoping to get around to it, I'm just not feeling much for TV at the moment. Looked like a very star studded cast from what I did see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a lot of recognisable guest starts, I guess Taiki Waititi probably knows a lot of people in Hollywood now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Excellent results for Succession, Watchmen and The Mandalorian, but Schitt's Creek clean-sweeping the board and winning every single comedy award, setting a new record and matching several others, was highly impressive and well-deserved. I felt bad for The Good Place not getting something in its final year of eligibility, but the last season was probably the weakest. The show was definitely robbed in previous years.

Martell Spy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Laura Linney was robbed. She killed it this year on Ozark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering Tom Pelphrey wasn't even nominated, it's hard to believe most voters actually bothered to watch last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
