<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Last year, Tony Hale’s surprise win was one of the very best moments. Everyone loves Baby Buster, and he’s the easiest pick for the lazy voters this year because of that moment. (He also would definitely deserve it, because he submitted the nosebleed episode.) Andre might sneak in to win it, as his foray into comedy is what made B99 a success thus far. The “Modern Family” nominations are driving me absolutely bonkers and I can’t deal with them any longer. Stop it. I’m excited for Adam Driver but not for this past season. Maybe for next season. And who doesn’t like Fred Armisen (I mean I’m sure tons of people?) but…who besides vegans watches “Portlandia”? <\/font>
Who deserves to not only be in this crowd but to win? Danny Pudi <\/strong> for “Community”. Seriously, what does this guy have to do? For five seasons, he has created one of the most original, brilliant, and lovable characters. It should actually be considered a crime that he is missing here, like with arrests and jail time, that kind of crime. He is pure genius as Abed. His work both inside and outside the Dreamatorium makes him already one of the most important characters in Television comedy history. <\/font>
Who else deserves a nomination ffs? Ron Swanson<\/strong>, I MEAN HELLO???<\/a> He stands out in the most perfect ensemble of “Parks & Rec” and that is no easy feat. <\/font>
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n\nBEST DRAMA SERIES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n- <\/span>“Breaking Bad”<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- “Downton Abbey”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “Game of Thrones”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “House of Cards”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “Mad Men”<\/span><\/li>\n
- “True Detective”<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Lazy lazy lazy, stick your head in gravy, ashes, ashes, you should all fall down. “Downton Abbey”? Give me a f-ing break! The first two seasons, sure, they were deserving of a nomination. But no more! Please, no more! America! You must get over this blind obsession with all this British! Ugh! Also, it’s a comedy. Watch it as a comedy and your mind will be blown. It should switch places with OITNB because the latter deserves to be in this category.<\/span> Anyway, I know people loved “True Detective” but I couldn’t get through it. Boring! “Mad Men”? Boring! GOT? Great, glad it is nominated, but I’m bored with that too! “House of Cards” would be my pick out of this group, but “Breaking Bad” must win for its final season. There’s no way voters would let it go unrecognized, even though it has some awards from past seasons. What should have been nominated? “Orphan Black”, the best drama on Television and the second best show out there period. If you haven’t watched it, I suggest you go do that now (and then once you finish both seasons finish reading this post). I can’t even begin to explain how good it is. Yes, the main selling point is that Tatiana Maslany plays a shittonne of characters, but aside from that it’s still a brilliant, original, captivating show. I can’t even deal. What else should have been here? “The Good Wife”, which had a surprisingly incredible comeback of a season, and “Scandal”, which is the most fun EVER. Seriously, who doesn’t watch and love “Scandal”? Any show that Retta live-tweets (and her faves seem to be “Scandal” & “Good Wife”) deserves to be nominated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n BEST ACTRESS IN A DRAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- <\/span>Lizzy Caplan, “Masters of Sex”<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Claire Danes, “Homeland”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Michelle Dockery, “Downton Abbey”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Kerry Washington, “Scandal”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Robin Wright, “House of Cards”<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Oh man are you as sick as I am of the lazy Michelle Dockery nomination every year? I just don’t get it. And “Homeland” gosh it feels like that hasn’t been on for years. That of course shouldn’t determine anything, but Claire has won a bunch and I like socialism in my awards. Julianna Margulies and Robin Wright are consistently awesome, but I just don’t see either of them winning. My vote would be for the ridiculously amazing and gorgeous Kerry Washington, who last year made cryface even better (and more often!) than Claire Danes. She should have won last year, especially after her co-presenter Diane Carroll pretty much said “Hey babe you’re gonna win later tonight” and then she LOST. That’s embarrassing. But I think Lizzy Caplan gets it this year because she’s on a new buzzy show that probably won’t win elsewhere (because it’s not nominated elsewhere). And come on, who doesn’t want Janis Ian to win? <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n BEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- <\/span>Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Jeff Daniels, “The Newsroom”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Woody Harrelson, “True Detective”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Matthew McConaughey, “True Detective”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Kevin Spacey, “House of Cards”<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span> Oh my god, if Jeff Daniels wins again I think every head in that theatre will explode. How crazy was that last year? And not good crazy. Crazy<\/em> crazy. Woody Harrelson deserved a nod for his stint as Nathan “I’ve got my spleen money” NoLastName on “Will & Grace” but I don’t feel it here. And how ni<\/span>ce would it be if Jon Hamm, always excellent but always a bridesmaid, finally finally won? He won’t though. Kevin Spacey deserves a win, but this race is between Cranston and McConaughey. Honestly, if McConaughey wins an EMMY the same year he won an OSCAR (over Chiwetel FFS!!!) I think my skin may just fall off. I guess we’ll see, because there’s actually a strong chance he’ll beat the favoritest Cranston for his final season as the most lovable (?) meth dealer in history on “Breaking Bad”. BB will either sweep its categories in a wave of final respects, or it’ll lose all its categories. Or something in between. <\/span> Who should have been nominated? Well WTF happened to Damian Lewis on “Homeland”? It was HIS last season too! Did people forget? He died well. And Matthew Rhys on “The Americans” (not that I watch it but I hear things)? And even Michael Sheen on his footcycle was snubbed! I’m sorry, velocipede. Sigh. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- <\/span>Anna Gunn, “Breaking Bad”<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Maggie Smith, “Downton Abbey”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Lena Headey, “Game of Thrones”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Christine Baranski, “The Good Wife”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Christina Hendricks, “Mad Men”<\/span><\/li>\n
- Joanne Froggatt, “Downton Abbey”<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span> Ok. Deep breaths. Yes, Frogwoman and McGonagall are inexplicably nominated AGAIN for that show about annoying Brits. Jesus H! Maggie Smith has like 3 lines per season. I love Maggie so much, who doesn’t, but come the f on. 3 lines. And she’s won for this show like multiple times! And she’s never there to accept it! Move onnnnn Emmy voters! Move onnnnnn! Stop worrying if your vision is new\/let others make that decision\/they usually do\/just keep moving onnnnnn!<\/span> Cersei and Baranski are totally deserving here of nominations and I’m relieved they’re in there. Christina Hendricks is always nominated and Elizabeth Moss isn’t and that makes me ragey. So I think we will see a repeat performance by Anna Gunn in the final-season-sweep by “Breaking Bad”. Honestly, if she gets bested by Maggie Smith I will probably break one of the seven tv’s in my living space. Whose omission is particularly egregious? Monica Potter (yes the same one from that awful Freddie Prinze Jr. movie about models) from “Parenthood” for sure. And<\/span> Emilia Clarke, as much as she embarrassed Broadway, deserves to be in there too for her best season on “GOT” (at least what I got through).<\/span> Ughhh thinking about lazy automatic “Downton Abbey” votes that got in instead of these really upset me. I need to go lie down for 45 minutes. NO, AN HOUR. A FULL HOUR. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n |
