Seriously though

A character who is not the main protagonist but upon whom the entire narrative of the season as well as the growth and development of several characters depends is the textbook definition of a supporting role.

An unknown actor coming out of nowhere to give a performance that has been raved about by fans and critics alike and who belongs to a traditionally underrepresented minority not only should be recognized by the industry but also (let’s be cynical here) provides several easy angles to play during awards campaigning.

Someone who combines those two elements? A fricking no-brainer for a network marketing department to push for major award consideration. Not doing so would in fact open them up to rightful criticism.

And yet…

I'm just going to say it: I would do a "For your consideration" for both Assad AND Ben Daniels before I would do one for Sam for season 2. They both gave much stronger, standout performances that voters would probably be more keen on acknowledging. Eric Bogosian was also, of course, great, but it's a less flashy performance which are harder to win for (he would have the "Acting Legacy" element going for him though).

I am pretty sure they or their people could still put them in for nominations though - it doesn't need to be "supported" by the network.

That said, I also wouldn't bother with the Globes, which still have a tarnished reputation. Save your effort for the Emmys (or SAGs or BAFTAs or whatever).

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??

The thing I love best about AMC's IWTV is that there isn't a single ship I can't get on board with.

Loustat? SO BEAUTIFUL I'M UNWELL!

Claudeline? MY BABIES AND I LOVE THEM!

Loumand? FUCK YES!

Lesmand? UGH HOTT!

Nickistat? LEMME SOB IN THE CORNER!

Danlou? YES PLEASE!

Devil's Minion? I DON'T EVEN CARE IF IT'S YOUNG OR OLD DANIEL, GIVE IT TO ME!

We truly are so well fed in this fandom.

Daniel Molloy, 70 year old baby vampire: you know what would piss off both Louis and Armand and be very funny simultaneously?

Lestat de Lioncourt, queen of drama and biggest bitch in any room he walks into: what?

Daniel: if you and I fucked.

Lestat:

Lestat: tell me more.

REBLOGGING THIS POST FROM MONTHS AGO TO SAY I CALLED IT.

I did a very quick watch of 9-1-1 when I first started it, so I’ve been going back for more depth, and I have two observations:

Abby’s ex before Buck was named Tommy. Obviously I now headcanon that it was closeted!Tommy Kinard. I can’t tell you how much I need Abby to come back for this reveal.

I have not, as yet, come across a single instance of Buck calling Eddie “Eds” despite its abundance in fanfic. Gonna need someone to point out even one time of this happening in canon that I might have missed. Otherwise, “making up unnecessary nicknames” will remain on my list of fandom pet peeves.

And (sigh) yes, I’ve started writing fic.

Look, if you're starving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and suddenly someone is like 'oh I have tons of food and it just happens to be meat do you want some lol' you CANNOT act surprised when it's people. You simply CANNOT.
