re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I know GoT got a lot of heat this season but it's good to see it go out with a little bit of Emmy love. The Best Actress - Comedy line-up is fantastic

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I hope Christina wins it.

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

:up: Fantastic show and she was amazing on it. Shame it wasn't also nominated for Best Comedy.
But let's be honest -- JLD won that award SIX TIMES for playing Selena Meyers before announcing she was battling breast cancer. There is zero way she doesn't win it again in her final year.

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I'm surprised Linda Cardellini didn't get a nom, she crushed her role. Cool that Natasha Lyonne got a nom, I thought she was fantastic in Russian Doll.

I also didn't realize Russian Doll has 12 nominations.

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I like Netflix's chances in this category.

If Springsteen wins, he will win the kinda EGOT.* Like Barbra Streisand, he won his Tony in an honorary, out-of-competition award.

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I don't know if Cardellini was considered a Lead Actress or a Supporting one. She was great, but I can't think of any of the six Lead Actress nominees that I would say were less deserving than she was. And once again Alison Brie gets "snubbed" for GLOW.
It was truly the murderer's row of categories.

re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...728ad69960.png

True, I was thinking Supporting but she probably had more screen time than Applegate.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

BTW : Props to Patricia Arquette's publicist for getting her work in The Act put in the Supporting Actress category so that she wouldn't be competing against herself. No way on earth that was a supporting performance.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I know that with Oscar you can't be a double nom in 1 category,which is why Jamie Foxx submitted as Supporting for Collateral. the year Ray came

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

You can't compete against yourself in an Acting category at the Oscars. You can in any other category (Steven Soderbergh famously beat himself in the Best Director category for Traffic in 2000).

Can't find out if an actor can compete against himself as a dual nominee. Not finding that info on Google. But did discover that the actor themselves can decide if they are a Lead or Supporting performer here (unlike the Oscars). There aren't any definitive rules for that -- though there are for Guest Stars.

Speaking of Supporting performers - I'm as big a Game of Thrones fan as anyone, but there is no way that FOUR actresses (not counting Emilia Clarke) should be competing against each other for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama while Better Call Saul's Rhea Seahorn has never been nominated for an Emmy (or even for a Golden Globe Award)! Nobody gave a better performance on TV in the past year, IMHO.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I thought that was pretty impressive in this day and age of Netflix, HBO, other streaming and cable channels, and the "classic" networks. Back in 1981, all five supporting actor nominees were from Hill Street Blues, a feat I think will never be equaled since we're long past the days of just three networks. But this came damn close.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

It's not too far a stretch, as her screen time was a lot shorter the last 3 episodes.

Nice to see Joey King get nominated. I thought she was great.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

Some of those GOT nods are laughable. Then again, I hope Lena Heady wins so she can go up on stage and say "Stand around and drink wine...that's all I needed to do to finally win one of these?!" :lol:

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

Alfie Allen?!? :hscratch:
I mean he had a nice scene where he shared a bowl of soup with Sansa in Episode 2, I guess. ..

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

i hope GoT goes 0/32. that last season was a POS and i can't believe it was recognized this way...

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

Alex Borstein has a solo nom for TMMM but Family Guy still got nothing. lol

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I believe Chernobyl will win best limited series. Want to see Jared Harris win but I think Mahershala Ali get it.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

If those writers win for this abysmal last season...

Also, I'm glad to see Schitt's Creek up there. It's one of my favorite shows, and I wish it got more love here.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

Agreed. By far the biggest snub this year.

Re: 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards Discussion (9/22/2019)
 

I think Chernobyl is practically a shoo-in for Best Limited Series - it will be a huge upset if anything beats it.

The 2019 Emmy Awards --> FOX --> 8pm est, Sun 9/22/19
 

They say GoT will win a lot (being last season and all), but i think it would be a travesty.

anyway, show tonight, no host on FOX. i don't know. but, GoT doesn't deserve any for this imo terrible season and do think it would be in ill form to honor most popular rather best.

let's discuss...
