Yup.

Not surprised that Empire didn't get a Drama nomination. Looks like Better Call Saul was the surprise nomination. I am surprised that Terrence Howard didn't get a nomination. I thought for sure he'd get one.

I think Viola is going to win Best Actress.

I was quite surprised Jim Parsons didn't a nom, . Modern Family gets another nom for Best Comedy? I think of many better comedies that deserved that slot over them.

I'm glad Allison Janney got another nom for Mom. I wish Mom got nominated for awards. It's a great show and not a typical Chuck Lorrie show.

Which, let's be real, we REALLY needed!

I love that AJanney gets a nom for Mom AND one for her other work. She's also nominated for Master's of Sex on SHO.

Andre B. nominated once again and I am so happy -- I just love him as Captain Ray Holt.

Niecy Nash too! So happy for her and she is beyond amazing.... sad this is Getting On's last season.


Former AMC alum Finn Wittrock has an Emmy nomination as well for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Limited Series Or A Movie. SO pleased for him and how far he's come post AMC, loved his little guest spot on Torchwood: Miracle Day, when Gwen kept saying his character was gay and he kept trying to deny it but she'd have none of that.

Yeah, he has his four wins to tie Michael J Fox, Kelsey Grammer, and Carroll O'Conner for the most wins in Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, time to move on to new blood. I still want BBT to take the big prize some point before it ends. It helped keep the traditional sitcom alive and feel it needs to be recognized for that, plus it's still quite funny.

Hope Lena Headey takes Supporting Actress. She was amazing in the season finale.

I'm still behind on this season (about half way through) but I'm happy too. He's great on the show.


You need to give that up! It not's happening. LOL tongue.png

Empire was never going to be nominated for Best Drama. They MIGHT have snagged a nom just for being the watercooler show ala Desperate a Housewives but yeah it wasn't going to win anyway.

Viola better win Best Actress. I'm going to rewatch the episode she submitted again later. The performance she gave as she tried to convince the courtroom that her client didn't deserve the death penalty gave me chills the first time I watched it. If not her then I think Robin Wright will win.

Oooooo, how can you tell which episodes they submitted? I would love to see what Taraji did for Empire.

Toups, I'm not surprised about TH not getting a nom. as much as I love him, he doesn't captiuvate me with his portrayal and line delivery like Taraji... simply put she's why a good majority of people tune in. Their chemistry is explosive but I can laugh at Terrence when he does lines or certain things ... but I think that more or less has to deal with people like Jamie Foxx making fun of his voice and now I can't unhear it when he talks.

Wow that Best Actress in a Comedy category looks tight! Stacked with more than one Emmy and critical darling in the bunch.

Last chance for Mad Men. I wonder if they'll get it just because of that, even though I feel like they went out with a whimper. Their last few seasons fell quite short IMO.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Jeffrey Tambour snagged the Emmy for Transparent. He and Judith Light are the best things about the series and when you think of the zeitgeist of the moment, I think he will be on the Emmy radar right up to the awards show.

Hopefully Viola Davis will get some love from the Emmys. I've lost track of that show (I hope they don't count the show's quality against her) but she's put in some stellar performances and she's the only reason that show is still on air. Her scenes with Cicely Tyson...just absolute perfection.

Really rooting for Jonathan Banks and Anna Chlumsky.

JB was heartbreaking on Better Call Saul; if he submitted the episode about his son's death, then he is an absolute shoo-in.

AC was hilarious when portraying Amy's meltdown; again, if that's the show she submitted, then it's hers to lose.

Fingers crossed for both of them.

Thrilled for Taraji and Niecy Nash.

I'm not surprised Terrence Howard didn't get nominated - nobody is tuning into Empire for him. Much as it might pain him to admit he isn't JR Ewing. Empire is definitely Dynasty in terms of cast impact: it's all about Cookie.

    • Come thru, Anita's backstory!!! Enjoy TT having her moment.    
    • Leslie is not being a very good criminal. All this asking questions of everybody is only making her look more obvious. The problem for Hayley is that she has failed to actually connect with Bill on anything other than going to bed or him buying her things. She acts like she is still the mistress and not the wife. It's fine that Vernon supports his wife, but he was making too many excuses for her and she was right to tell him to knock it off.  
    • HAHAHHAHA!!! @kalbir being right on the money...right down to the music.

          Nosy Nurse!!!   OMG!!! Not Nosy Nurse vs Silk Press Sheila!!!   And it's a Sara day!!!    
    • Very true - AMC was a good ensemble show in the 90s (until Kendall/Zach/Greenlee/Ryan took over in the mid-2000/2010s). Glad you liked the 1994 tornado and 2006 Mardi Gras ball too

        I'll have to go watch those Mardi Gras ball scenes this weekend. I think I actually have them on VHS somewhere in some boxes haha, but I don't have a VHS player anymore.
    • As far as I know it's true that they wanted Judi all along & she wasn't available at first. And, it honestly doesn't matter to me. No preference.  But thanks for the geography lesson. It defeats me.  
    • Oh my gosh, what a great memory this is. My mom and I were so sad when this happened, not believing that Maria really died and would no longer be on our screens. So shocked.  I didn't remember Jim being there with Brooke as Maria and the plane go over the cliff. Julia Barr is a gem!
    • Honestly, this shouldn't need Mona OR Shanice. You mean to tell me there aren't other cameras in the hospital that would've caught her in the parking lot or the nurses station? They would've been better off saying she flirted with security and deleted the footage because this doesn't add up in 2025.
    • I had always heard 1985 was a rough year for the show.  A shame as we hear so much about bad producers and how they ruin a show. It would have been nice to see a good producer exhibit great results. The 1990 episodes currently uploaded bring back a lot of memories. I really enjoyed the Sharlene/Sharly storyline and Holbrook was fantastic.  Another example of someone overlooked for her superlative work although the Emmy voters would later rectify that. I also got a kick out of Taylor Benson and how she tortured Sharlene. I always wanted that story to go on longer than it did.  I'm again reminded how the Amanda/Sam/Evan story just collapses when RKK left. I don't know what the writers were building to (if anything) but that storyline is a dud now. Cali Timmins was perfect as Paulina. Seeing her again makes me even madder that she was replaced with Judi Evans. 
    • I have never liked the slapping thing. I don't care who's doing the slapping.  I went back to some GL episodes and it does seem like the writers were setting up something for Sonni and Roger in July 1989. I don't remember if anything came of it. A real shame as they had a lot of chemistry, but then both could have chemistry with a block of tofu.  
    • I hope they don't mess up Naomi and Jacob this early. The show needs one stable couple (Ashley/Derek don't count) without secrets and lies between them. At least for a while. Maybe down the line the show can explore Kat and Jacob. Right now, she seems way too immature for him.
