A bit of a data dump and catch up today. After just making the list that put The Walking Dead as the best ensemble of 2022, because it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to, who will top this list? Am i going for a Walking Dead sweep? 10) Catherine Zeta Jones (Wednesday) Netflix 9) Imogen poots (Outer Range) Amazon 8) Cynthia Addyia Robinson (The Rings Of Power) amazon 7) Patty Guggenheim (She hulk) Disney Plus 6) Emma Myers (Wednesday) Netflix 5) Ruth Cod (The Midnight Club) Netflix 4) Olivia Cooke (The House Of The Dragon) HBo MAX … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Supporting Actress in A Science Fiction or Fantasy Series

I love my science fiction and fantasy shows so much, I literally rank them separately. I think if they had to compete against other genres, those categories would lose their performers, not so much out of this genre. There, of course, were ensembles that didn’t make the cut, but when I think of ensemble, I often think more about the evenness and depth of bench. 10) The Rings of Power (Amazon) 9) Locke and Key (Netflix) 8) Outer Range (Amazon) 7) Wednesday (Netflix) 6) The Umbrella Academy (Netflix) 5) The House Of The Dragon (HBO MAX) 4) The Boys (Amazon) … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Ensembles in A Sci-Fi/Fantasy Series

As I catch up on thing I’ve wanted to write about, including some Best Of 2022 lists, as well as a ton of reviews hopefully this weekend, I figure I can’t go too much longer without an official Oscar article. This is why YouTube is so convenient, because it takes 5 minutes to record a reaction video, and upload my thoughts right away, but just a lot more time to actually put pen to paper… or fingers to keyboard? I wasn’t so incredibly surprised by some of the snubs or surprises. In some cases, the person or film i had … Continue reading Oscars: Everything Everywhere Except Danielle Detweiler

Oscar nominations are Tuesday morning. Voting has closed. The BAFTA nominees are out. And it’s time. I did fairly well predicting the BAFTA nominees at 80% accuracy and I’m looking to change that here. I won’t bore you to death by going bottom up. I’ll start with the big categories. Because I love my readers. BEST PICTURE 1) Everything Everywhere All At once 2) The Banshees Of inusharon 3) The Fablemans 4) Top Gun Maverick 5) Tar 6) Elvis 7) Avatar The way of Water 8) All Quiet On The Western Front 9) The Whale 10) RRR There are basically … Continue reading My Final oscar Predictions

If you are like me, you probably get annoyed when the Emmy voters go unoriginal and either nominate the entire cast of a show, filling up the categories, or they populate it with the cast of Saturday Night live. There are so many strong performances out there, worth shining a light on. Here are ten lovely ladies worth your time. 10) Marcia Gay Harden (Uncoupled) Netflix 9) Rachel Bloom (Reboot) Hulu 8) Claire Perkins (The outlaws) Amazon 7) Jessica Gunning (The Outlaws) Amazon 6) Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Ms maisel) Amazon 5) Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott elementary) ABC 4) Bebe … Continue reading Best of 2022: Top 10 Supporting Actress In A comedy Series

Already in this category, Gaslit was at the top of my list for Ensemble, Julia Garner just topped my list for Supporting Actress for Inventing Anna, and now we arrive at Supporting Actor. Who topped this list? I can say that my #2 spot was who I would have voted for based on Emmy eligibility this past round, but then one more show dropped. One more performance. Here’s my Top 10 (8 out of 10 have audio description): 10) Kyle MacLaughlin (Joe Vs Carol) Peacock 9) Nick Offerman (Pam and Tommy) Hulu 8) Christopher McDonald (The watcher) Netflix 7) Dan … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Supporting Actor In A limited Series

There are no For your Consideration ads for me. I’m not on that level. So I put people where I think they should be, in terms of lead or supporting. If you think someone here should be a lead performance, I probably did not. Without further adieu, the top 10 are: 10) Annaleigh Ashford (Welcome To Chippendales) Hulu 9) Danielle Detweiler (From Scratch) Netflix 8) Margo Martindale (The watcher) netflix 7) Toni Collette (The Staircase) HBo MAX 6) Chloe Sevigny (The Girl From Plainville) Hulu 5) Jennifer Coolidge (The Watcher) Netflix 4) Moses Ingram (Obi-Wan) Disney Plus 3) Juno Temple … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Supporting Actress In A limited Series

All of these films have audio description, so you can enjoy every single performance. But, without further adieu, I will likely butcher someone’s name. but here we go. 10) Marlowe Barkley (Slumberland) Netflix 9) Vanessa Burghardt (Cha Cha Real Smooth) Apple Plus 8) Ruby Wood (Better Nate Than Never) Disney Plus 7) Madeline McGraw (The Black Phone) Peacock (and Amazon?) 6) Walker Scobell (The Adam Project) 5) Alicia Weir (Matilda The Musical) 4) Banks Repeta (Armageddon Time) 3) Jamila Gray (On The Come up) Runner Up: Jalen Webb (Armageddon Time) Winner: Mason Thames (The Black Phone) Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Performances By A Child Actor In Film

If you guys have followed my roundups, you know I watch a lot of television. To me, when I talk about an ensemble, i often talk about a deep bench. To me, a show like Pam and Tommy, where you can pretty much highlight the performances that make the show work in three or four names, that isn’t really an ensemble. but, when a show has so many rich characters, it starts to become hard to figure out who is doing the most work, that is where this comes into play. 10) The Dropout (Hulu) English Audio description?: Yes This … Continue reading Best of 2022: Top 10 Ensembles For A Limited Series

Sometimes It’s fun to make these lists, and sometimes it’s not. So, to speed things along, i gender neutrales this category, and some spots go to multiple people. 15) The Cast Of After Ever Happy Basically, everyone in this film was some shade of awful. Mira sorvino deserves better films. She has an Oscar. Why was she in this? 14) Alyssa Milano (Brazen) I should blame the whole cast here too, but the failure of the film happens to rest with the star, who if she had not signed onto the project, I’m not sure anyone would have seen this … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Worst Performances Of The Year (Film)

The Globes are on Tuesday. It’s a nice little promotional push for some movies that are looking for a boost. A surprise here could put someone on the radar, or do nothing. There isn’t an overlap of voters so these awards could go across the board to the least likely, and it would totally make sense. one thing has typically been true of the Globes in years prior. They love stars. They love to make them, but they also can easily be schmoozed. Campaigners can prevail. That’s what makes this so hard. But, whether I like it or not, I … Continue reading Golden Globe Final Predictions- Film Categories

I’m behind enough on my reviews, there’s a film on here I haven’t even reviewed yet. but it made the list. Comedy is so subjective. It’s not always the same for everyone. There are films that I saw this year that didn’t make me laugh, or maybe made me chuckle once or twice. But these are the ten films that made me laugh the most, putting a smile on my face in a pretty solid year for cinema. Honorable mentions? I would say the lost potential behind films that released without audio description. Sure, one of the 10 films on … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 Funniest Movies

Yesterday, I put the spotlight on Comedy Series, where I named Breeders the winner of Writing for a Comedy Series. Drama is equally tough. Remember, I will have a third category highlight genre series like House Of The Dragon, Strangers things, The Boys, etc. There is one show in here you might question why it isn’t in the Genre category, and I’ll explain when I get there. As far as honorable mentions go, it did hurt my soul a little bit to leave off Tulsa King (Paramount Plus), From Scratch (Netflix), The White Lotus (HBo), The Last Days of Ptolemy … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Writing For A Drama Series
