it’s about that mid point in the Oscar season, so I figured I’d talk about the race. Who Will Win, Who Could Win or Might Upset, and how close these races are. BEST PICTURE: Who Will Win?: Everything Everywhere All At Once Who Might Win: Top Gun Maverick, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Fablemans, The Banshees of inisherin Who Should Win: I’d be fine with EEAAO, but I’d be happier if All Quiet On The Western Front, top Gun Maverick, or Banshees Of inisherin won. I think the other five nominees just don’t have enough behind them. I … Continue reading Oscars: The Who Will Win?

here it is. The big list. And, yeah, there are some major omissions here. I feel like critically, me snubbing Better Call Saul and The White Lotus would be surprising, but for me personally, it’s harder for me to cut dramas I love like Cobra Kai and new Amsterdam, or even emerging series like Leopard Skin. So, there’s a very long list. I stopped watching Saul’s final season so I could wait for Netflix to release it with audio description. I had watched all the other seasons that way, and while it’s inconvenient for an awards list, a lack of … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Drama Series

I definitely left some performances off this list, but that’s happened with every list. I’ve held hard on that 10, and not expanding to some 11 or 12, because I can’t Sophie’s Choice my way to ten. I acknowledge that my 11-20 choices would look great, but these are the top ten. 10 Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) Netflix 9) Jabari Banks (Bel Air) peacock 8) Alan Ritchson (Reacher) Amazon 7) Joel Kinnamon (For All Mankind) Apple Plus 6) Adam Scott (Severance) Apple plus 5) Jeff Bridges (The Old Man) FX 4) Bob Odenkirk (Better call Saul) AMC 3) Kevin Costner (Yellowstone) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actor in A Drama Series

And now the official cutting down of the top 10. If you look through the lists, there were shows that either had acting mentions in my top 10, or ensemble mentions, and didn’t make the cut. i obviously enjoyed more than 10 limited series this year, and I hope that is reflected in this list. 10) Joe Vs Carol (Peacock) 9) Inventing Anna (Netflix) 8) The Patient (Hulu) 7) Five Days At memorial (Apple Plus) 6) The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray (Apple Plus) 5) The Undeclared War (Peacock) 4) From Scratch (Netflix) 3) Gaslit (Starz) 2) Shining Girls (Apple … Continue reading Best If 2022: Top 10 Limited Series

It’s funny how the show representation for women and men looks totally different. A lot of the shows that showed up in lead actress give way to new shows here, with actors giving the killer performances. For at least one, killer is very appropriate. 10) Kumail Nanjiani (Welcome To Chippendales) Hulu 9) Colin Firth (The Staircase) HBo MAX 8) Sebastian Stan (Pam and Tommy) Hulu 7) Jared Leto (We Crashed) Apple Plus 6) John Cameron Mitchell (Joe Vs Carol) Peacock 5) Domnhall Gleeson (The Patient) Hulu 4) Bobby Cannavale (The watcher) Netflix 3) Samuel L Jackson (The Last Days of … Continue reading Best of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actor In A limited Series

So many shows didn’t make this list, from the terrific Ghosts, to Atlanta which won Supporting Actor. This was a hard list to assemble, and slowly doing so left me with some shows that ended that I can never list again, which saddens me greatly. 10) Trying (Apple Plus) 9) The Marvelous Ms Maisel (Amazon) 8) Girls5Eva (Peacock) 7) Only Murders in The Building (Hulu) 6) Breeders (FX) 5) Abbott Elementary (ABC) 4) Mythic Quest (Apple Plus) 3) What We Do In The Shadows (FX) 2) Reboot (Hulu) 1) Hacks (HBo MAX) I feel like my list has some obvious … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Comedy Series

If I was analyzing my own list, I think my mind would immediately gravitate to Bill Hader not making the cut this time around. I just wasn’t a huge fan of the last season. Henry Winkler was still on my Supporting actor list. Maybe next season? 10) Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) HBO MAX 9) Neil Patrick Harris (Uncoupled) Netflix 8) Donald Glover (Atlanta) FX 7) David Hyde Pierce (Julia) HBo MAX 6) Steve Martin (Only Murders In The Building) hulu 5) Martin Short (Only Murders In The Building) Hulu 4) Ed Helms (Rutherford Falls) Peacock 3) Keegan Michael Key … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actor in A Comedy

I definitely had to make some tough choices for this list as well. notably, only one of the Dead To Me leads, no Grace OR Frankie, none of the Girls5Eva, or any of the many potentials that could ahve landed here. But, here are my top 10. 10) Selena Gomez (Only Murders In The Building) Hulu 9) Christina Appelgate (Dead To Me) Netflix 8) Rose Byrne (Physical) Apple Plus 7) Maya Rudolph (Loot) Apple plus) 6) Judy Greer (Reboot) Hulu 5) Quinta Brunson (Abbott elementary) ABC 4) Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous ms Maisel) Amazon 3) Sarah Lancashire (Julia) HBo MAX … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Lead Actress in A Comedy Series
