2023 Emmy Awards

[screech]

The Primetime Emmy nominations were just announced. As always, some pleasant surprises (James Marsden for Jury Duty, a much deserved Phil Dunster finally getting recognized for Ted Lasso), some eye rolling 'of course' nominations, and some snubs (IMO Evan Rachel Wood was fantastic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and should have been nominated)

Happy to see Jury Duty nominations but surprised they were also nominated for writing! Happy to see Natasha Lyonne nominated for Poker Face but disappointed the show itself did not get nominated. Big time disappointed not to see A Small Light nominated nor its wonderful lead Bel Powley. I thought the limited series was one of the best things I've seen this year. I see both Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik were nominated for hosting Jeopardy.

Some of the shows in the comedy category .

I'm stunned that Tony Shalhoub missed out this time. He had the best scene of his entire run on "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" this season -- possibly one of the best scenes of his career.

I was happy to see Welcome to Chippendales get some love and also a couple of noms for Bad Sisters. I'm glad I don't have to vote in the comedy categories Why is The Bear in the comedy category? I love that show, but it's no comedy.

Phil Dunster was definitely the MVP of this season of Ted Lasso, and his arc was perhaps the most dramatic and satisfying of the whole series. So glad to see him recognized, what he did was really hard and he made it look easy.

Why is The Bear in the comedy category? I love that show, but it's no comedy.

The episode “Fishes” had us tense and angry. I viscerally felt like I was at that dinner and it was not comedy.

Tom Pelphrey is always getting snubbed for worthwhile performances (Ozark!). I thought he was much more impactful in Love and Death than Jesse Plemmons.

I feel the same way about Poker Face honestly. I love it and there is some humour but it's not a comedy.

But also Poker Face deserved more nominations.

I’m happy that Andor got in for Best Drama. I would have liked to see some acting nominations for it but I knew that was a long shot.

Where can I find it in Canada? I looked awhile ago and couldn’t find it.

His friendship with Roy was the highlight of season 3 for me. Jamie Tartt developed so much over the 3 seasons, and where he ended up as a person was just so satisfying. Also, he was iconic this season from the very first episode and how he said 'poop-ay'

Looking at his and Brett Goldstein's instagrams, it's adorable how much those two supporting actor nominees adore each other. Brett jokingly/adoringly refers to him as his boyfriend, and Phil refers to Brett as his 'hunk of a castmate'.

You can tell this cast legitimately adores each other. Once voting opened a few weeks ago, Jeremy Swift (Higgins) was campaigning for Phil to receive a nomination (not even mentioning getting another nomination for himself - he was nominated in season 1).

Not related to Emmys, but while I think this show ended at the right time, can Dani Rojas and Trent Crimm host a youtube series where they give haircare tips?

Totally agree! So interesting the way their relationship evolved, and fun to watch all 3 seasons back to back to back and really see it.

Very gracious post.

Phil's post is hilarious, almost sounds in character in his first sentence!

I don't follow the emmys much these days and only skimmed the list of nominees, but it looks like virtually all are from streaming services, is that right? No nominations for kind of main stream network TV shows?

Where can I find it [Peacock's Poker Face] in Canada? I looked awhile ago and couldn’t find it.

2023 Emmy nominations: HBO is most-nominated network for 3rd consecutive year

HBO and Max’s combined 75th Primetime Emmy nominations total of 127 is their lowest since 2020, but they still jointly reclaimed the title of most-recognized network or platform for the third straight year. A whopping 27 of those bids are for recently-concluded drama series “Succession,” which...

As is to be expected nowadays, the big four traditional broadcast networks were outpaced by paycasters and streamers. They amassed a combined total of 86 nominations, which matches the amount they received in 2022. After dominating this subset last year with 29 bids, CBS has fallen behind ABC (28) and NBC (27) with only 20 this time. With its eight mentions, the American Broadcasting Company’s best performer was “Abbott Elementary.”

@Sylvia quite wonderfully supplied the link. I was a little annoyed that I had to sign up for a free trial to CityTV+ through Prime, both because it feels convoluted and because most Peacock shows have been going on Showcase which I already had access too. But the 30 day trial was handy, I didn't have to rush through and I actually managed to remember to cancel my free trial for once at the end of it.
