Wow, there are a few surprises here: Keri Russell, Kit Herrington, Maisie Williams, Unreal.

 

I don't understand why they keep nominating Kevin Macey.

 

They completely snubbed Orange Is The New Black? Or is it outside the eligibility period?

Same old undeserved GoT nominations (aside from Lena Headey, who does deserve hers). The only new one is Kit Harington, who is more than capable and an underrated talent, but I can't say I'd call him Emmy-worthy. I also have no idea how he is supporting. The people who deserve nominations from that show never got them and never will.

 

At least this time they managed to not nominate Diana Rigg for popping up in three scenes and delivering arch "witty" one-liners before disappearing again.

!@#$%^&*] yes! The Americans! Finally, the little show that could! The cast and showrunners - especially Russell and Rhys - are unbelievable and both should take it.

That being said, Sophie Turner was robbed at GOT. They've frontburnered her while Maisie had relatively little this year, but she's more popular with the voting pool.

I don't watch The Americans but I love Keri Russell. Congrats to her!   So happy to see Constance Zimmer from UnReal get a nod, too. Well-deserved. 

 

WTG RuPaul! That's awesome. I also enjoyed so many of the performances on The People vs. OJ Simpson (yay Sarah Paulson!) so I'm glad to see such a fantastic turnout for them.

Sarah Paulson has been slaying on AHS for years, and her Marsha Clark was outstanding.   Constance Zimmer has been giving outstanding performances for years, glad to see her in the mix. 

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys have been doing Emmy worthy work from the beginning. I've watched the slow burn of each episode from the first. My late father never missed an episode.

Woohoo!

Meh to Turner.

Keri's nomination is great though. It couldn't have happened for a better actress. She's been great 1998 with Felicity, and she has so many well done lived in, consistent and sensitively thought out performances through out her career: Waitress, August Rush, Austenland, etc. She's a phenomenally under sung talent.

Forever rolling my eyes at the fact that Shameless still submits for comedy and that William H. Macy is the only performer that the nominators seem to notice or care about. I'd rather the show just be shut out every year than get represented by the quintessential "Oh, we know him and like him" nom.

    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

    • It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).
    • LOL!  He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.   
    • Fantastic show today.   Tamara has me weeping and she was right when she said the story would be unexpected.

      date: Tuesday, June 3 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Anita is too emotional for an artefact of the Articulettes? What the Hell happened?! Child bride, what in the Hell are you doing at Dani's home? Put your pee-pee stick away, please. No one cares. Dana is seeking a restraining order against Katherine, yet approaches her at Orphey Gene's? Delulu to the highest of extents, ma'am! Of course Bill would want Tomas to spy on the Dupree family for him via his [new] relationship with Katherine. That's low, Bill. Do not do it, Tomas. Not even to get yourself ahead; I'm sure the Duprees will help you open your own law firm. Yes, child bride, take the test in front of the superior Hamilton wife. Do it. I dare you. What have you got there, Anita? A letter to "Anita Williams Articulette"? What's this about? Dani's line about sharing a husband and the child bride spreading her legs for her is brilliant. Poor Andre, having to see Ashley make out with the man she shouldn't even be with. Go fight for your woman, Andre! But the second choice is always there. Oh, so much like the Supremes, there was a fourth Articulette at some point? Interesting. Nice detail. Ashley versus Dana? Oh now this is some juicy, juicy development I needed! Yes, let this happen. But Derek, sit your useless ass down. Maybe go save another cat from another fire. While I appreciate Katherine's persistence, Tomas continues to bring up brilliant points from a legal point of view. Ms Dana, go ahead and take Derek off of Ashley's hands, please. Time you got yourself someone new, although you want things you're not meant to have. It's your character trait. Bill is definitely beginning to give signs of something very serious; is it epilepsy? Oh shït is hitting the fan, re: the Anita storyline. She knows this letter, back to front. Wow. Damn... so the fourth Articulette unalived herself? That's a strong reveal, and not at all what I would expected! Notes: Once again, Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to eat up the dialogue written for her and delivers it so effortlessly. I've noticed this several times in the past month, but Alex Alegria's (Tomas) jackets, from my perspective, seem to be tailored too tight in his arms, or Jeresa Featherstone is buying things to fight the other parts of his upper body. The smarter thing to do would be to buy something that fits his more athletic upper arms and tailor in the sides of the jackets. Because the ones he's been wearing recently do not fit him properly, they should not be bunching at the shoulders like that. Tamara Tunie (Anita) just earned herself the Emmy! Give it to her right now.
    • Bill right now

        so there was a 4th Articulette and she killed herself bc of Anita? Im confused
    • Question.  Why is the list on-screen of writers so small for GH?  Are there really that few writers for this show, or does the show employ uncredited "extra help" to save money?
