The long and winding Emmy Awards season comes to an end finally on Sunday when the Primetime Emmys are presented on CBS. The Queen’s Gambit, Saturday Night Live, The Mandalorian, Ted Lasso, The Crown and others ran up some impressive totals during last weekend’s three Creative Arts ceremonies, but now we are going to…
And now we come to the grand finale of my prediction posts for Emmy’s key contests. The name of this category has evolved over the years — the new name is designed to find someplace other than Television Movie to showcase individual episodes of what are known as Anthology series. After Netflix continually triumphed…
"The world has come to a grinding halt because of the way the economy works and the way the event happened," Y: The Last Manshowrunner Eliza Clark says about what would occur if every mammal with a Y chromosome suddenly died — as happens on the FX on Hulu drama series that premiered this week. 'Essentially, we would…
In terms of past winners that might be in line to take the Outstanding Drama Series crown again, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale is the only one of eight nominees in this category that has won before here — and that was in 2017, for its first season. With an impressive 21 nominations, the show seems to be having an Emmy…
In the past, Emmy voters tended to like one show and then let it repeat for several seasons as the champ in the Comedy Series category. Until very recently, just three series enjoyed multiple runs at the gold: there were three wins in a row for 30 Rock, followed by five wins in a row for Modern Family, then three wins…
Last year, the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted Primetime Emmys was the first major awards show to pull off a ceremony during the pandemic with all nominees featured remotely. This year, only “a handful” of the nominees will be beamed into the show via satellite, said Ian Stewart who, along with Reginald Hudlin, executive produced…
There is history to be made again this year in a category that is as diverse as they get. With Mj Rodriguez aiming to be the first-ever transgender winner here, that could be quite a hard scenario to resist for voters who might want to throw a bone to Pose in its final go-round. Like Drama Series Actor, the winner…
Three past winners in the category meet three first-time nominees in an interesting showdown that does not include an opportunity for last year's winner, Jeremy Strong, to repeat, since his series Succession was delayed by Covid. This means that acting winners from other recent Emmy seasons do have a chance to come…
UPDATED, 9:40 AM: CBS and the Television Academy have revealed the second batch of presenters for Sunday’s 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards: Annaleigh Ashford, Awkwafina, Misty Copeland, Michael Douglas, Ava DuVernay, Taraji P. Henson, Gayle King, LL Cool J, Dolly Parton, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Ellen Pompeo, Yara…
Like the Lead Comedy Actor group, this category only sports five nominees, including veterans Tracee Ellis Ross and Allison Janney, but also two new HBO Max shows providing sensational roles for a couple of TV sitcom veterans. Deservedly, the Emmy last year went to Catherine O'Hara of Schitt's Creek, showing that…
After last year's Schitt's Creek tsunami — the series completely dominated the comedy categories and crushed the competition in its final season, including a well-deserved win here for Eugene Levy — it's more or less back to normal in this category with just five nominees, including several veterans. These include…
An incredibly rich category where, fortunately, no one from the five year old production of Hamilton qualified, leaving room for one of the strongest fields in a long time, boasting a shortlist that cut out the likes of Nicole Kidman in The Undoing, Thuso Mbedu in The Underground Railroad, Kate Mara in A Teacher…
