Here, there are really only three locks. Even in its old age, I can’t see Modern Family not getting nominated. I can see Big Bang Theory getting left out, but there are five shows I think competing for three spots, … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Comedy Series
The big question here is will the Emmy voters embrace the ladies of The CW. Traditionally, the CW is ignored in major categories. There’s a solid push for both Bloom and Rodriguez, and they have an equal shot. Odds are … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Actress In A Comedy
Again, I previously lamented how unlikely new blood will be in these categories. It’s a sad, but true fact of how boring and predictable the Emmy’s have become. This category is a bit different from supporting actress, as a few … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Supporting Actor in a Comedy

It’s a foregone conclusion that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be nominated for Veep. And, if Emmy voters don’t get on board with Ellie Kemper in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, then they’re insane. Amy Poehler should get love thrown her way for her … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Best Actor/Actress In A Comedy
Oh, definitely Jon Hamm for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And how could the Emmy voters pass on Mel Brooks for The Comedians? There’s always some SNL hosts in the mix, and Louie CK and Bill Hader could be in the mix. … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Comedy Guest Actor/Actress
As I start my annual Emmy wishlist, I remember that the Emmy voters quite frequently get it wrong and turn their noses up at shows that the public is embracing. In other words, get ready for more Downton Abbey nominations, … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Emmy Best Supporting Actor/Actress In A Comedy
Here are my snap judgements in relation to FOX’s Upfront Presentation today. 1) American Idol is being reduced to about 37 hours next season, down from 60. They are killing the “results show”. Kevin Reilly still believes American Idol will … Continue reading Interesting Tidbits From FOX’s and NBC’s Upfront
