I’m really excited for this one. Martin Scorsese teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio for the (I think) 500th time. Seriously though, this film has Oscar nominations written all over it. Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, and Jonah Hill co-star. Continue reading Hot New Trailer: The Wolf Of Wall Street
1) Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones) It’s time that the ladies of Game of Thrones be recognized for their outstanding work. And, not to get too spoilery… but some actresses won’t be in contention next season… so pick the right … Continue reading Emmy Wish List: Best Supporting Actress in a Drama
1) Katey Sagal, Sons of Anarchy Until the Emmy voters recognize her for her work on this show, she will always be my first name on this list (or any Emmy dream list). 2) Kerry Washington, Scandal Her work this … Continue reading Emmy Wish List: Best Actress In a Drama
I somehow comprised 5 nominees without needing to use Bryan Cranston or Jon Hamm. 1) Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom I think he’s definitely not going to be nominated. His work lacks the gravitas of some other people, but I love … Continue reading Emmy Wish List: Best Actor In A Drama

I couldn’t do 5. I had to do 6. Yes, I realize there are 3 Community Actors, and 2 Happy Endings Actors, but I fully believe they are the funniest guys on TV. 1) Donald Glover- Community 2) Jim Rash- … Continue reading Emmy Wish List: Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
1) Beth Behrs- 2 Broke Girls I’m actually rooting for both 2 Broke Girls. I think they need to be recognized, if for no other reason than someone sitting down and saying “we really only need these two, and we … Continue reading Emmy Wish List- Best Actress In A Comedy
Here are my (albeit unconventional) picks for Best Actor in a Comedy for the upcoming Emmy awards. This isn’t who I think will be nominated, but rather who I would be nominating (my wish list). Joel McHale (Community) Don’t you think it’s about time that Joel McHale be recognized for being the centerpiece of a terrific ensemble and one of the funniest shows on TV? I do.
