Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I thought The Good Wife might get nominated as a series but it's been left out the last couple years as well. Christine Baranski had a good season and would be a deserving winner.
:up: to Lizzy Caplan. |

I know Matthew Rhys didn't have a chance with that Murder's Row of nominees (excluding Jeff Daniels, of course), but would have liked to see Keri Russell, Noah Emmerich and especially Annet Mahendru as Nina get some recognition. |

I mean, she's the second name in the show intro. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/280...797/dc4493.jpg They might as well have submitted Woody Harrelson under Guest to give both him and MM a shot at winning for True Detective. I'm sure it was seriously considered. |

actor in a drama will go to Jeff Daniels just to piss everyone off

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
McConnaughey vs. Cranston
True Detective vs. Breaking Bad ...should be interesting. I'm guessing True Detective for actor and Breaking Bad for series. |

Not that the other actresses aren't good - but she's going above and beyond for every episode. |

I actually think Maslany is rightfully not nominated but I've never thought much of Orphan Black as a whole which may make me a little bias (it honestly reminds me of the internet pushing the greatness of Firefly), but she does work her ass off.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Going through the list again and I just noticed Silicon Valley got a nod for Best Comedy. Not sure of it's chances to win but I'm pulling for it.

Not really fair for Broadcast Networks. Easier to have tighter plot/storyline in 10-12 episode seasons compared to 20-22 episodes.

Her performance is a major reason I'm watching the show. She's playing clones and yet while I'm watching I keep forgetting it's all being done by the same actress - and it's not the makeup that's making me forget either. To me that really says something.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
Regarding Treme, I read a post on another forum which said that a series must have 6 or more episodes in a season to qualify for "Best Series" -- and since Treme S4 had only 5 episodes, it couldn't qualify.
Sure seems like there are lots and lots of rules and loopholes shows are using to maximum advantage these days (series vs. miniseries, lead vs. supporting vs. guest actor/actress). |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I think the single biggest loophole is with The Square. I'm not really sure how a movie gets Oscar and Emmy nominations. I would figure one would make it ineligible for the other.

Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
I wonder if the voters even watched BREAKING BAD. For them to ignore Dean Norris after that final season is nearly as hard to believe as them omitting Esposito for Gus Fring. I think it's just lazy voting. They pick the usual names.
If HANNIBAL was on cable or Netflix it would have a dozen nominations by now. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
They went with Aaron Paul, though since Esposito and Paul were nominated at the same time a couple years ago it does seem odd.

Jehane Noujam's gripping documentary about the Egyptian Revolution, centered around Tahrir Square, was nominated for a deserved Oscar, which logically should preclude it from a TV awards ceremony. But because it was released on Netflix, which blurs the line between TV studio and film platform, it's also up for four Emmys—Outstanding Documentary Special, cinematography, editing and directing. |
Re: 2014 Emmy Discussion Thread
+ Breaking Bad Would like to see this one sweep all major awards
+ Key & Peele, Inside Amy Schumer for writing - I've given up that The Middle will ever get a chance to shine much like the other celebrated ABC sitcom, and if Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated for the past two seasons of Orphan she ain't gonna get one for the show in the future. Boo. - no Hannibal or best series nom for The good wife with its best season?? Wow. That CBS anti-cable emmy campaign must've backfired. - no spot in TV movie for An Adventure in Space and Time I didn't care for The Spoils of Babylon but :lol: @ Kristen Wiig getting a nom for that spoof of big epic event miniseries/movies. |

One wonders if his hammy performance in Under the Dome hurt him. Of course, Jon Voight's hammy performance in Ray Donovan didn't stop him from getting nominated for that show. |

Wrong season. The second name is Laura Prepon, Uzo isn't listed during the main credit sequence in Season 1. (Cut off is May 31st, Season 2 of OITNB will be eligible for next years Emmys). These nominations are all for S1 of OITNB.
