I think this is the year I finally get it through my thick skull that Emmys are meaningless, because not one of these categories excite me even a little bit. And did I hear right that smarmy Andy Samberg is hosting? Ugh.

I think the award nominations were okay. That being said the nominations weren't based on reels. There is another round of voting still to go. Per the Emmy website:

http://www.emmys.com/sites/default/files/Downloads/2015-primetime-emmys-calendar-v3.pdf

Here are the dates:

Week of August 3 Final round videos available for viewing

August 17 Final round voting begins

August 28, 10:00 PM Final round voting ends

So basically the long list to the final nominees, is based on what people saw based on screeners or watching "normally".

I'm not at all surprised about Better Call Saul getting nominations. The only thing that surprised me is that there were less head shakers than normal.

It is a travesty that Rick Hoffman who plays Louis in SUITS isn't even nominated in the Supporting Actor Drama category. Not that the Emmys would ever give SUITS anything but, man, Hoffman's work is beyond excellent. I have no idea how his performance for something like season 4's "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner" isn't worthy of recognition, in either Comedy or Drama (because he does both so excellently).

On the other hand, glad to see Ben Mendelsohn nominated. I don't think there's even a chance he won't win. He was thrilling from beginning to end in BLOODLINE.

Here are the episode submissions: http://www.goldderby.com/forum/topics/view/11942

 

I'm very happy with Homeland's episode submissions for Best Drama.  Those were the best 6 episodes of the season.  I would not be surprised if Homeland upset Mad Men.   Go Homeland!! 

 

Las Vegas have Homeland with the worst odds to win. LOL

Im extremely upset Homeland was shut out like that. WTF was Game of Thrones really that good? Which season is being recognized, 4 or 5? I can never remember. I've yet to begin season 4.

 

I was ecstatic for V, Regina & especially Uzo who always manages to force tears out of me w/her genuinely stricken reactions. Just wonderful!!

I must say it is a treat to learn that Jeffrey Tambor and Bill Murray were honored tonight.  I have liked both actors for a long time.

 

TBH, though, I feel as if Jon Hamm's win was just the voters' way of sparing him further embarrassment.  Because, the truth is, I never felt like he actually DESERVED to win.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
