I’m assuming we can get to six nominees, but there is a possibility that only five nominees exist. Thus, I must rank these fine actresses. 1) Jean Smart (Hacks) Signed. Sealed. Delivered. Not only is she getting the nomination, but she’s winning. yes, I know there was a fantastic (now) lead performance in The bear, but come on now. Jean Smart is Hacks. Yes, she has won before, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus won consistently for Veep. 2) Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) In a different year, a different season, perhaps Ayo taking center stage for Season 2 of The bear,(and in my … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Actress In A Comedy Series

It’s Pride Month, and June 12th is a day I will always remember, as I woke up to knew that a man walked into a gay nightclub in my city and opened fire. Eventually, we would hear that 49 souls died that night,This also came a day after Christina Grimmie was shot and killed by someone at a performance of hers, also in Orlando. I’m always aware of this period, and since the majority of my personal friends on social media are too, it’s a day I’ll never forget. I have a friend whose birthday is June 12th, and was … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/12/24

What a difference a year makes. yet, due to impeccable timing, this category is not nearly as wide open as the drama race due to several strong returning contenders. And once again, due to impeccable timing, one show is dropping its third season during the voting period on the second, while another will drop its 4th season while people are voting on whether or not the third should win. Freshness. It has its place. 1) The Bear (FX on Hulu) I mean, duh. Right? OF course the Bear is going to get a nomination. I feel like voters are getting … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Comedy Series

Outer Range (Amazon) continues to get totally off the rails as Joy has to talk about that whole time travel thing with Royal. Meanwhile, his wife is fighting hard to not lose their ranch, and Autumn is delivered some of the dust which should give her a look at who she really is. Maybe it’s tied to that phone call? Renew this. And… how do you pronounce that thing that goes up your nose in hospitals? I’ve always said it a different way, and have always heard it a different way. I’m enjoying seeing the mythology play out in Blood … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/11/24

OK. So I was right about the choice to name the show Eric (Netflix), meaning we get some materialization of this monster. The audio description when we do see him walks such a weird line, like… am I supposed to be scared? Is he funny? Goofy? His voice is dark, but the scenes he appears in it would seem if he was too much he’d be pulling too much focus. What an odd and interesting concept though. I did finish American Rust (Amazon) which almost looked like it was headed to not having the ability to have a second season, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/10/24

I was so excited to jump back into Sweet Tooth (Netflix) yesterday, even if it means the last season. I’m OK with a three season run, if it means the show knows it is ending, and can wrap up its story on its own terms. I’m still angry that Glow had that stolen from it. I did listen to a review of the season from another one of my favorite critics, MoviesAndMunchies over on YouTube, and he mentioned that he didn’t like Season 2 as much, but I actually thought the show got stronger, as we saw more hybrids, and … Continue reading the Smal Screen Diaries- 06/09/24

Things came together finally in Bodkin (Netflix), but that didn’t stop one of our leads from being served divorce papers, and another from being arrested. They might be really close to locking in this podcast, but AT WHAT COST? I enjoyed the audio description with the bee crawling out from under the covers, because it made me think something truly nefarious was under there, like a snake, then it was a bee. The suspense was there at least. Velma (MAX) still has some brain swapping, and Velma has to figure out how to get Daphne’s brain back in her body. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 06/08/24

Now, I might be a little optimistic here, but I think there’s a chance that we aren’t going to get only two shows in this category, with four nominations each like last year. That being said, it should be obvious that no nominee from last year is eligible in this category. Since this isn’t really about who I’d like to see, let’s break down who exactly is taking these spots. 1) Jon Hamm (The Morning Show) Very likely to be a double nominee this year, with his performance in Fargo certain to land him in the Limited Series category, Ham … Continue reading Talking Emmys: Best Supporting Actor In A Drama
