Emmy Awards 2020 Predictions and Analysis

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

After several years of, let’s say, improved taste, the Emmy Awards backslid a bit last year. Sure, it was nice to see Fleabag get the recognition it deserved. But that recognition came along with a Game of Thrones final season onslaught that nobody asked for.

With Thrones firmly in the rearview, the 2020 Emmy Awards have a chance to welcome in some new blood. And with an eclectic list of first-time nominees like The Mandalorian, The Morning Show, and Watchmen they may be able to do just that! Below you can find all the major categories that will be announced during the 2020 Emmy Award ceremony at 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 20 on ABC. We have indicated what shows we think will win in bold and what shows should win in italics.

Outstanding Drama Series

Better Call Saul

The Crown

The Handmaid’s Tale

Killing Eve

The Mandalorian

Ozark

Stranger Things

Succession

Who Will Win: The Emmy Awards have a preoccupation with HBO dramas and who could blame them? For the better part of 30 years, HBO has been the go-to spot for brilliant television drama. That preoccupation went too far last year though with the choice of the questionable final season of Game of Thrones. Thankfully, this year’s HBO choice won’t be nearly as onerous. Succession season 2 is a superb year of television.

Who Should Win: Though Succession is a wonderful TV series and a fine choice for Outstanding Drama, the real winner here should be Better Call Saul. Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad prequel just gets better with age and arguably reached its apex with its fifth season.

Outstanding Comedy Series

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Dead to Me

Insecure

Schitt’s Creek

The Good Place

The Kominsky Method

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

What We Do in the Shadows

Who Will Win: The Emmys have largely ignored Schitt’s Creek’s existence up to this point but could no longer do so in its final season. The little Canadian show that could took in an impressive 16 nominations – the most for any comedy in its final season. And the Emmys didn’t hand out all those nominations just to leave the show hanging at the podium. Schitt’s Creek will win big throughout the night, including taking home Outstanding Comedy Series

Who Should Win: We have no complaints with Schitt’s Creek winning Outstanding Comedy Series to honor its contributions to television and comedy for the past six years. But for the purposes of choosing 2020’s best comedy, What We Do in the Shadows has to be it. Shadows was at its absolute best in season 2, a year that contained zombies, witches, and one Jackie Daytona, normal human bartender.

Outstanding Limited Series

Little Fires Everywhere

Mrs. America

Unbelievable

Unorthodox

Watchmen

Who Will Win: Watchmen will win. Obviously.

Who Should Win: Unbelievable is a remarkable piece of work. Mrs. America more than lives up to its potential. But let’s not overthink this one – Watchmen was arguably the best thing on television this past year and will likely be remembered for years to come. It’s the only choice here.

Outstanding Television Movie

American Son

Bad Education

Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings: These Old Bones

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. The Reverend

Who Will Win: The Emmys always like to honor big name film actors like Hugh Jackman when they can. This time they get to do so and select the best TV movie of the year to boot.

Who Should Win: Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings is great but not really a TV Movie and slipped in here as a technicality. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special was wonderfully executed. But Bad Education is as deserving as any.

Outstanding Reality/Competition Program

The Masked Singer

Nailed It!

RuPaul’s Drag Race

Top Chef

The Voice

Who Will Win: RuPaul’s Drag Race has won this honor for the past two years and there’s no reason to believe it can’t be victorious again.

Who Should Win: It would be nice to see Netflix’s charming Nailed It! take home the top prize. And though The Masked Singer is certainly a corny endeavor, one cannot argue that the show hasn’t executed its concept perfectly.

Outstanding Variety/Talk Series

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Who Will Win: At this point, for as long as Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is on television, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be expected to take home the Outstanding Variety/Talk Series trophy.

Who Should Win: And there’s a reason for Last Week Tonight’s dominance. The category has gotten weaker in recent years with many talk shows understandably working on expanding their respective brands into the digital space. Last Week Tonight does the most research, has the best writing staff, and the most appealing host. It’s the best show of its kind on television and will likely continue to be so for quite awhile.

Outstanding Animated Program

Big Mouth

Bob’s Burgers

BoJack Horseman

Rick and Morty

The Simpsons

Who Will Win: The Emmys do enjoy honoring series in their last season. The fact that BoJack Horseman’s last season was truly superb is just icing on the cake.

Who Should Win: Rick and Morty’s creative demise is not as steep as some cultural commentators would have you believe. It would be a decent choice here. As would the relentless charming Bob’s Burgers, which just keeps getting better. But BoJack Horseman deserves this trophy for a pitch-perfect final season that brilliantly blends the series comedic and dramatic impulses.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Jennifer Aniston, The Morning Show

Olivia Colman, The Crown

Jodie Comer, Killing Eve

Laura Linney, Ozark

Sandra Oh, Killing Eve

Zendaya, Euphoria

Who Will Win: At first glance, Aniston seems like a solid possibility for her work on The Morning Show. She has the biggest name recognition and the world’s most valuable company marshaling its resources behind her. But something tells us that Olivia Colman is the surer bet. The Emmys have always been fond of The Crown. And after Colman took home an Oscar for The Favourite, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences might be eager to remind folks what medium Colman is best known for.

Who Should Win: Anyone would be a fine choice here, really. We will go with Zendaya for the degree of humanity she brought to a truly difficult role.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Jason Bateman, Ozark

Sterling K. Brown, This Is Us

Steve Carell, The Morning Show

Brian Cox, Succession

Billy Porter, Pose

Jeremy Strong, Succession

Who Will Win: Billy Porter was a pleasant surprise last year but this time around the Emmys likely won’t be able to resist the allure of Succession. Either Brian Cox or Jeremy Strong are extremely likely to win this. We will guess Cox as his Golden Globe win is likely fresh in voters’ minds.

Who Should Win: Being the lead on a prestige HBO drama often means getting to play with a pretty showy role. Jeremy Strong’s beaten down Kendall Roy is anything but showy and that just makes the actor’s performance all the more impressive. The consequences of a lifetime of outrageous wealth and outrageous paternal neglect play out mostly between Strong’s ears in a superb, subtle performance.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Christina Applegate, Dead to Me

Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Linda Cardellini, Dead to Me

Catherine O’Hara, Schitt’s Creek

Issa Rae, Insecure

Tracee Ellis Ross, Black-ish

Who Will Win: It’s likely to be a big night for Schitt’s Creek but even if it isn’t, all involved can be pretty certain that they’re taking home at least this award. Catherine O’Hara is Schitt’s Creeks MVP and here she becomes the show’s Emmy firewall.

Who Should Win: O’Hara absolutely should win for her consistently larger-than-life performance. It’s a shame we won’t be able to honor Issa Rae with a statue this year though.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Anthony Anderson, Black-ish

Don Cheadle, Black Monday

Ted Danson, The Good Place

Michael Douglas, The Kominsky Method

Eugene Levy, Schitt’s Creek

Ramy Youssef, Ramy

Who Will Win: Look, we’re just betting big on Schitt’s Creek around these parts. Comedy all-timer Levy has won an Emmy for writing but never for performance and that seems bound to change this year.

Who Should Win: We have absolutely no problem with Levy getting his first acting Emmy. But Ted Danson would be the slightly better pick this time around. His performance as Michael on The Good Place is one of TV’s most human creations…despite Michael being a demon.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Cate Blanchett, Mrs. America

Shira Haas, Unorthodox

Regina King, Watchmen

Octavia Spencer, Self Made

Kerry Washington, Little Fires Everywhere

Who Will Win: Lock this one in. Empty out your savings and 401k and take it all to the betting markets.

Who Should Win: Duh.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Jeremy Irons, Watchmen

Hugh Jackman, Bad Education

Paul Mescal, Normal People

Jeremy Pope, Hollywood

Mark Ruffalo, I Know This Much Is True

Who Will Win: It’s tempting to make fun of the Emmys preoccupation with big name film talent as a reason for giving Mark Ruffalo this award. In fact, this award in recent years has been all but reserved for film stars “slumming it” on television. But the truth is that Ruffalo gives a spectacular performance in I Know This Much is True and is certainly worthy of recognition.

Who Should Win: Also worthy of recognition in Paul Mescal for his warm, human performance on Normal People.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Laura Dern, Big Little Lies

Meryl Streep, Big Little Lies

Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve

Julia Garner, Ozark

Sarah Snook, Succession

Helena Bonham Carter, The Crown

Samira Wiley, The Handmaid’s Tale

Thandie Newton, Westworld

Who Will Win: Julia Garner won this award last year and has done nothing to lose it since. But if Succession is destined for a big night, Sarah Snook is likely to be a part of it.

Who Should Win: Snook should win anyway for her performance this year. Until Kendall pulls off his major finale maneuver, Snook’s Shiv is undoubtedly the character who grows the most in Succession’s second season.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Giancarlo Esposito, Better Call Saul

Nicholas Braun, Succession

Kieran Culkin, Succession

Matthew Macfadyen, Succession

Bradley Whitford, The Handmaid’s Tale

Billy Crudup, The Morning Show

Mark Duplass, The Morning Show

Jeffrey Wright, Westworld

Who Will Win: Look, Succession is really good. And Kieran Culkin gets to play one of the show’s flashier characters.

Who Should Win: Culkin’s castmate Matthew Macfadyen deserves consideration here but in the end it’s hard to justify anyone other than Kieran winning.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Betty Gilpin, GLOW

Yvonne Orji, Insecure

Kate McKinnon, Saturday Night Live

Cecily Strong, Saturday Night Live

Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek

D’Arcy Carden, The Good Place

Alex Borstein, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Marin Hinkle, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Who Will Win: This might be the hardest award to predict of the night. Though Borstein and Hinkle are wonderful, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel feels like a bit of an afterthought this year. And who knows if Schitt’s Creek’s big run will make it all the way down to the supporting category. Gilpin and Orji are very intriguing but in the absence of a sure thing, this feels like a year in which the Emmys could return to McKinnon.

Who Should Win: It’s hard to think of someone in the TV landscape more deserving of an Emmy than D’Arcy Carden for her work on The Good Place. The actress has taken a Siri-like digital assistant of the afterlife and transformed it (not a girl) into a full-fledged character.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Mahershala Ali, Ramy

Kenan Thompson, Saturday Night Live

Dan Levy, Schitt’s Creek

William Jackson Harper, The Good Place

Alan Arkin, The Kominksy Method

Sterling K. Brown, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Tony Shalhoub, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Who Will Win: This is a particularly stacked category that is hard to pick. And when that happens at the Emmys, a good rule of thumb is to go with recency bias – who has won the most awards recently? Multiple Oscar award-winner Mahershala Ali fits the bill here but Shalhoub and Arkin are also appealing in that regard. Levy could ride the Schitt’s Creek wave as well.

Who Should Win: It’s quite frankly asinine that Andre Braugher has not won an Emmy yet for his nuanced, yet still utterly hilarious performance as Captain Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Portrayals of police officers are particularly fraught this year but Braugher deserves some recognition all the same.

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series

Gordon Smith – Better Call Saul “Bagman”

Thomas Schnauz – Better Call Saul “Bad Choice Road”

Chris Mundy – Ozark “All In”

John Shiban – Ozark “Boss Fight”

Miki Johnson – Ozark “Fire Pink”

Jesse Armstong – Succession “This is Not for Tears”

Peter Morgan – The Crown “Aberfan”

Who Will Win: This is a strong category. Sometimes writing awards can be seen as a consolation prize for excellent series that can’t otherwise pick up the biggest honor of the night. Should that formula hold true, one of the two Better Call Saul entries has a shot, but the allure of Succession will likely prove too strong this year.

Who Should Win: Both Better Call Saul options are worthy of an Emmy. But the writing of season 5’s penultimate episode “Bad Choice Road” is brilliant and absolutely teeming with tension.

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series

Daniel Levy – Schitt’s Creek “Happy Ending”

David West Read – Schitt’s Creek “The Presidential Suite”

Michael Schur – The Good Place “Whenever You’re Ready”

Tony McNamara – The Great “The Great”

Sam Johnson and Chris Marcil – What We Do in the Shadows “Collaboration”

Paul Simms – What We Do in the Shadows “Ghosts”

Stefani Robinson – What We Do in the Shadows “On the Run”

Who Will Win: “Happy Ending” is the platonic ideal of a comedy series finale. It’s perfectly executed with callbacks, humor, and heart. The Emmys will be happy to award it.

Who Should Win: “Happy Ending” is a superb choice but any half hour of television that features Matt Berry living a life as a bartender in Pennsylvania just cannot be allowed to lose. Justice for Jackie Daytona!

Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series or Special

Tanya Barfield – Mrs. America “Shirley”

Sally Rooney and Alice Birch – Normal People “Episode 3”

Susannah Grant, Michael Chabon, and Ayelet Wadman – Unbelievable “Episode 1”

Anna Winger – Unorthodox “Episode 1”

Damon Linelof and Cord Jefferson – Watchmen “This Extraordinary Being”

Who Will Win: A good rule of thumb for this year’s Emmy Awards is that if Watchmen is in a category, it’s going to win that category. Such is the case here.

Who Should Win: “This Extraordinary Being” deserves to win. Lindelof and Jefferson’s script was the starting point for a stunning episode of television that presented an idea so radical (and yet so logical) it inspired Lindelof and HBO to reimagine an already near-perfect graphic novel.

Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series

Leslie Linka Glatter – Homeland “Prisoners of War”

Alik Sakharov – Ozark “Fire Pink”

Ben Semanoff – Ozark “Su Casa Es Mi Casa”

Andrij Parekh – Succession “Hunting”

Mark Mylod – Succession “This is Not for Tears”

Benjamin Caron – The Crown “Aberfan”

Jessica Hobbs – The Crown “Cri de Coeur”

Mimi Leder – The Morning Show “The Interview”

Who Will Win: The Emmys really love Ozark. And they should! It’s a good show. Having said that, the dominance of Succession will likely close off a lot of opportunities for the series this year. But it should be able to at least squeak this one out.

Who Should Win: Ironically, this is the one award that Succession really should win this year above all else. Mark Mylod’s direction of “This is Not for Tears” is a minor miracle, turning a sun-drenched day on a luxury yacht into a tense, paranoid thriller.

Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series

Gail Mancuso – Modern Family “Finale Part 2”

Ramy Youssef – Ramy “Miakhalia.mov”

Andrew Civdino and Daniel Levy – Schitt’s Creek “Happy Ending”

Matt Shakman – The Great “The Great”

Amy Sherman-Palladino – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel “It’s Comedy or Cabbage”

Daniel Palladino – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel “Marvelous Radio”

James Burrows – Will & Grace “We Love Lucy”

Who Will Win: It’s a little weird to see the Modern Family series finale in a category and not be favored to win. For years, the Emmys heaped statues upon this very good but not all-time classic comedy. In the end, the Academy will instead opt to honor the tasteful direction of another series finale in Schitt’s Creek.

Who Should Win: The Great has a real argument here with its drama-level production design assisting director Matt Shakman. But at the end of the day, “Happy Ending” accomplishes exactly what it needs to accomplish and is a fine choice.

Outstanding Direction for a Limited Series or Special

Lynn Shetlon – Little Fires Everywhere “Find a Way”

Lenny Abrahamson – Normal People “Episode 5”

Maria Schrader – Unorthodox

Nicole Kassell – Watchmen “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice”

Stephen Green – Watchmen “Little Fear of Lightning”

Stephen Williams – Watchmen “This Extraordinary Being”

Who Will Win: Watchmen will win this category. It’s only a question of which episode. The premiere, “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice” thanks to the two stunning setpieces guided by Nicole Kassell.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Who Should Win: And “It’s Summer…” is the right choice in the end. “Little Fear of Lightning” and “This Extraordinary Being” are both superb but credit always goes to the premiere director for establishing a visual tone for the rest of a series.

Emmy season is upon us yet again! Emmy nominations were announced Thursday, July 12th, with “Game of Thrones” leading the pack at 22 nominations. As we speed toward the September 17th telecast, Awards Circuit is taking a look at all of the major categories. Each acting, writing and directing nominee must choose one episode to be judged on. The series nominees all submit six episodes. Each Friday, we will watch all the nominated episodes in a given set of categories and provide a power ranking of the nominees.

Another week, another set of categories. The twenty men of the supporting actor races take on a variety of different roles. From medieval battles, a modern murder crime spree or a Thanksgiving in Bakersfield, everyone brings something unique to the table. Past years have seen Supporting Actor go to surprise winners (Bobby Cannavale for “Boardwalk Empire”, Ben Mendelsohn for “Bloodline”) or to zeitgeisty creations (Alec Baldwin for “Saturday Night Live”). Let’s take a look at the nominated episodes and see who will prevail this year.

Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Made for TV Movie

Ricky Martin as Antonio D’Amica in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” – “The Man Who Would Be Vogue”

Plot: The murder of Gianni Versace turns the eyes of the world onto Miami Beach.

Ricky Martin was one of the more interesting casting choices of the latest Ryan Murphy project. As Antonio D’Amica, Versace’s (Edgar Ramirez) longtime lover, the pop star certainly got a role that would put him in the limelight. Or at least it seemed. Martin gets some strong moments early on as he finds his lover gunned down by Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss). However, there’s little interiority to the character. We learn very little about who he is and what his perspective is. In the end, the exercise feels a lot more like stunt casting than anything else. Martin may be the biggest name of the three Versace men. However, it’s likely going to be the other two really vying for votes.

Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” – “Ascent”

Plot: Andrew Cunanan leaves behind a troubled family life, while Donatella struggles to find her role within the Versace empire.

The relationship of the Versace siblings was an interesting element of the show that was only minorly explored. Edgar Ramirez looks the part of Gianni Versace and commands a room with a similar ethos. However, he’s not given much to do to really channel Versace or give a fully three-dimensional performance. The show finds itself more concerned with serial killer Andrew Cunanan. Even in this submitted episode, Ramirez takes a backseat to Penelope Cruz as his sister, Donatella. Versace cuts up a dress as a point in a fight with his sister. It gives him a firework moment, but little else. Voters looking closely at the episodes may be shocked at how little they get of Edgar Ramirez as Versace. This could hinder a win for the titular role of the show.

Finn Wittrock as Jeffrey Trail in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” – “Ascent”

Plot: Naval officer Jeffrey Trail meets Andrew Cunanan for the first time, while Gianni reveals his sexuality to the world.

Of the three “Versace” men, Wittrock gives the best performance. As a closeted Naval officer, Wittrock brings to life Jeffrey’s internal struggle while he wrestles with the conflict between his job and sexuality. All of this culminates in a toxic meeting with Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss) that ultimately leads to Jeffrey’s death. It’s a full, complete performance that’s hard to shake. That said, Wittrock is also the least famous of the “Versace” trio. While his talent puts himself over Ricky Martin, which seems to be more of a stunt nomination, it may be hard for him to win out over Ramirez as the titular Versace. Both will get a good number of votes, but they could end up splitting. This clears the way for someone else to walk away with the win.

Predicted Ranking

Jeff Daniels – “Godless”

Finn Wittrock – “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”

Edgar Ramirez – “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”

Brandon Victor Dixon – “Jesus Christ Superstar”

Michael Stuhlbarg – “The Looming Tower”

John Leguizamo – “Waco”

Ricky Martin – “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”

BEST LATINA ONLYFANS ACCOUNTS: Check Out The Top 10 Best Latina Accounts Featuring Some Of The Best South American Beauties The Internet Has To Offer

BEST LATINA ONLYFANS ACCOUNTS: Check Out The Top 10 Best Latina Accounts Featuring Some Of The Best South American Beauties The Internet Has To Offer Check out the 10 best Latina OnlyFans accounts including some of the best Latina accounts OnlyFans has to offer. The entertainment industry has been criticised for its lack of diversity and inclusion. There have been protests hitting awards shows like the Oscars and the Emmys. It is clear that some of this criticism is well founded. And that many in Hollywood have been reluctant to give Latinas their due even when they demonstrated their many talents over and over again. When the startup social media site OnlyFans first hit the internet less than a decade ago, some critics worried that it would soon reflect the lack of diversity that existed in many other parts of the internet. BEST LATINA ONLYFANS ACCOUNTS But those naysayers could never have predicted the turn the platform would soon take. While some creators of the OnlyFans platform first envisioned the site as a place where mainstream content creators could show off their talents and make some extra money it didn’t pan out that way. This is because the owner Tim Stokely and co-owner Leo Radvinsky are both very heavily involved in pornography. And it is widely believed OnlyFans was started in 2016 at the same time as Facebook purged adult content from its platform. Before long the OnlyFans platform was populated with porn stars, strippers and nude models, much to the delight of horny guys everywhere. Now that the dust has settled on the recent OnlyFans porn ban, it is also clear that the early worries about inclusion and representation on the site were not rooted in reality. Even as the site made its NSFW turnaround, it began to welcome an entirely new universe of stars, including some of the hottest Latina OnlyFans pages on the web. In fact, there are so many great Latina OnlyFans content creators that the hardest part was narrowing down the list to only 10. The fact that there is only room for the top 10 Latina OnlyFans stars on the list should not stop fans from exploring further afield and adding their findings and links in the comments. When compiling the list, attention was paid to a number of statistics, from the reviews these hot Latina goddesses have compiled to the number of subscribers they have attracted to the amount of content they have posted. And whether fans agree they will have a wonderful time looking around. BEST LATINA ONLYFANS: THE TOP LATINA ONLYFANS GIRLS OF 2021 #1. Vienna Black – Hottest Latina Goddess If fans are looking for a hot Latina OnlyFans girl who will look after them and their every need, they have come to the right place. Ever since she first set up her OnlyFans page, Vienna Black has been dedicated to the wellbeing, and the satisfaction of her fans. And she has always made subscribers her priority. Vienna clearly knows where her bread, and her paycheck is buttered. But she also views her presence on the site as more than a mere business. Instead, the hot Vienna Black sees her OnlyFans presence as a natural extension of her self-expression and as a great way to connect with the wider words. Vienna works very hard to achieve her smoking hot body, and now she is anxious to show off the results to the world, or at least her many subscribers. Throughout her time on the platform, this OnlyFans Latina has offered some exceptional discounts. This is including teaser rates that provide inexpensive previews of all the great things taking place behind the scenes. #2. Kailani Kai – Best Tits It is not often you see tits like these, but Kailani Kai has two of the biggest, baddest and most lickable assets fans will ever see. This buxom beauty is the perfect girl to fuel her fans innermost fantasies, and her Latina OnlyFans page is sure to please. Like many other Latina OnlyFans content creators, Kailani loves to show off for the camera. And she sees her presence on the site as the natural extension of her talents and a great way to express herself in the most enjoyable way possible. For fans of this hot Latina goddess, her two most obvious talents are always front and center, but that is far from all she has to offer. In addition to staring at those amazing jugs, subscribers to her Latina OnlyFans page can see the glorious Kailani Kai in all her sexually adventurous glory.

These are including specialties like anal, gangbang and interracial action, along with plenty of boy/girl and girl/girl action. Fans will find plenty here to get them hot and bothered, and plenty more to leave them satisfied and satiated. #3. Miss Raquel – Most Generous Some Latinas OnlyFans accounts are better than others, and the fact that Miss Raquel has made it to number two on the list tells fans everything they need to know. The owner of one of the top Latina OnlyFans accounts is happy to interact with her many subscribers, and she is always striving to provide them with greater and greater value. Miss Raquel also recognizes that her fans are not made of money. And that is why she regularly offers discounts and exceptional specials; all designed to whet their appetites and keep them coming back for more. The OnlyFans platform is always a value proposition, and it is clear that Miss Raquel wants to give her subscribers the most content for the least amount of money. So why not stop by and see all the great things she has to offer. #4. Cassidy Banks – Most Spectacular Ass The OnlyFans Latina universe is large and wide ranging, and Cassidy Banks is clearly one of its rising stars. This hot Latina goddess had already established a robust presence on more mainstream social media sites like Instagram and Twitter. And she parlayed that online fame into a very successful launch of her Latina OnlyFans page. While she still loves to engage on those other sites, Cassidy saves her hottest and smokiest content for her growing legion of OnlyFans subscribers. Cassidy Banks is known for her amazing assets, including her spectacular ass and her amazing tits. These assets she is proud to show off and eager to share with her subscribers.

An exhibitionist by nature, Kiara Mia clearly has a certain comfort level in front of the camera, and her video content is both smoking hot and highly polished.

With more than 250 pieces of exclusive content already posted and more being added all the time, this hot Latina OnlyFans superstar clearly provides a lot of bang, and banging, for the buck. #7. Alexis Zara – Hottest Camgirl When the worlds of Latina OnlyFans account holders and the worlds of cam girls collide, they do so in the most delightful ways. And the amazingly hot Alexis Zara is a perfect example of this happy combination. By the time she set up her account on the OnlyFans platform, this hot Latina goddess was already very comfortable in front of the camera. And that confidence shines through with every video she posts and every private show she does. In addition to her cam girl work, this hot Latina beauty has also worked as a model, When fans get a look at her smoking hot body, they will quickly see why modelling agencies and photographers simply cannot get enough of her.

With more than 150 pieces of content already to her name, this hot Latina OnlyFans star is also a prolific poster. And she is always giving her subscribers a reason to come back to her site night after night. #10. Diamond Kitty – Most Sparkling Pussy (Cat) The diamond is the hardest material known to science. But there is nothing hard about the stunning Diamond Kitty, except, of course, for her amazing hard cord content. Latina Only Fans sensation Diamond Kitty is clearly well named, and her sparkling wet pussy has been the star of many a hardcore video.

Even in 2020, a double standard is still applied to women in the spotlight

British Columbia's Chief Well being Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry offers an replace on the coronavirus pandemic on Sept. 20. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chad Hipolito

We’re improper to assume the Trump period of assaults on ladies’s management, credibility and character is new, and even remoted to a polarized political local weather south of the border.

Girls’s management, particularly as a voice for change, is taken into account by some to be barely tolerable: from Shirley Chisholm, Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard, to the newest assaults on vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris and the present tales about Governor Basic Julie Payette.

Learn extra: Julia Gillard hits again at an extended historical past of sexism in parliament

The forces resisting change quickly mobilize, and character assassination — usually wielded anonymously — is simply too usually the weapon of alternative.

Even within the midst of a pandemic, when Canadians are exhorted to deliver their finest selves to the desk and “be stronger collectively,” the double normal endures as witnessed by the latest private assaults on British Columbia’s Chief Well being Officer Bonnie Henry.

In the middle of responding to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, B.C.‘s Chief Well being Officer Bonnie Henry says she has acquired demise threats.

Increased stakes

Viola Davis, the primary Black actress to win an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama in 2015, just lately spoke in regards to the even increased stakes confronted by ladies of color:

We all know as ladies, once you converse up, you’re labelled a bitch — instantly. Unruly — instantly. Simply as a girl. As a girl of color, there’s very, very, little or no you must do. All you must do is possibly roll your eyes, and that’s it.

What’s seen as robust and proactive management from the normative group — usually white and male — is decried as strident and overly demanding in reference to others whose look or background doesn’t match the norm.

Physicist Marie Curie was by no means elected to French Academy of Sciences, regardless of profitable two Nobel prizes. (Shutterstock)

This isn’t a difficulty confined to the excessive stakes platforms of politics and Hollywood: faculties and universities usually are not immune. The intransigence of the French Academy of Sciences that ensured Marie Curie was by no means elected to the academy, regardless of profitable two Nobel prizes, is well-known. What’s much less recognized is the accompanying vilification and anti-Semitism within the press that painted her as a foreigner and atheist and incited a mob exterior the house she shared, as a widowed mom, together with her two younger daughters.

Insidious biases

Practically 100 years later, on June 4, 2020, the publishers of Angewandte Chemie, one of many main journals in chemistry analysis, needed to quickly distance themselves from a paper they’d printed by a Canadian educational, citing his use of “offensive and inflammatory language aimed towards folks of various genders, races and nationalities.” The bigger query is how, within the first place, did such a biased opinion piece make it by peer assessment, previous senior editors and right into a top-tiered journal whose mandate is the publication of scientific outcomes?

There’s a widespread thread. The issue is extra than simply trolls blocking passage over the bridges of management. In mainstream platforms, the issue is exacerbated by insufficient impartial investigation and peer assessment, disregard for reality verification, the failure of efficient editorial oversight and an growing “tabloid” tradition that manifests as a vested curiosity in damaging or controversial tales “that promote.”

At present charges of progress in academia it’s predicted that gender parity will take 60 years for math and 258 years for physics. Progress for different under-represented expertise swimming pools is much more glacial. Progress will proceed to be sluggish so long as mainstream platforms propagate the assaults and double requirements.

Eliminating double requirements

We maintain a collective accountability. As United States Senator Elizabeth Warren notably stated: “You don’t get what you don’t battle for.” It’s nicely previous time for us all — whether or not in media and journalism, politics, arts and leisure or academia, to demand higher.

We should take a tough have a look at societal attitudes in direction of management. To deal with the urgent challenges of our nation and the world, we’d like management that displays the total variety of excellence — inclusive of gender, sexual orientation, race, tradition and language.

Our skill to recruit and retain breadth of management is undermined when ladies in energy, and various leaders on the whole, are nonetheless so readily subjected to non-public assaults and to being labelled as “unruly,” a “damaging affect,” or as under-qualified or unfit for service.

Now greater than ever, the extent that ladies in positions of management are subjected to a double normal that’s not current when male leaders are assessed ought to be a query each considered one of us, and particularly each considerate educator, journalist and media group asks themselves. Recognizing the patterns and double requirements is step one in committing to battle and remove them.

Actor – Limited Series or Movie Here’s where the limited race gets interesting. Courtney B. Vance, of FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” already has an Emmy for his indelible portrayal of Johnnie Cochran and should be the favorite. But Tom Hiddleston lands his first-ever Globe nom as the suave spy at the center of AMC’s “The Night Manager” and is exactly the kind of likable rising star HFPA voters love to celebrate. Remember, Oscar Isaac won the category last year for HBO’s “Show Me a Hero” before missing out on an Emmy nom. At the time, he was also on the big screen in the latest “Star Wars” movie, which could benefit another nominee this year: “Rogue One” player Riz Ahmed, up for HBO’s “The Night Of.” Ahmed’s co-star John Turturro is also nominated for his much-praised work in the acclaimed examination of the criminal justice system. And then there’s Bryan Cranston, who collects Globe nom number seven for a powerhouse portrayal of political icon Lyndon Johnson in HBO’s “All the Way.”

Prediction: Tom Hiddleston (“The Night Manager”)

I like the way you think, Variety... Fingers crossed.

The 7 Most Awkward Emmy Speeches of All Time

Now Playing

Emmys: Every Best TV Drama Since 1970

The Emmys are about excellence in television, and as nerve-wracking as it must be to stand in front of thousands of people gawking and clapping at you like so many Nicole Kidmans, viewers want nothing more than to see winners nail that acceptance speech — to soak up the glory under the spotlight and sail through a gracious speech with ease. This seems like not that big of an ask for people who literally get paid to read lines for a living but god bless those precious celebs, not everybody gets it right. Though truly terrible Emmy acceptance speeches are rare to non-existent, there have been some seriously uncomfortable ones over the years. TV Guide dug through the archives and found the seven most cringe-worthy.

7. Bertram van Munster, 2014 The speech The Amazing Race co-creator gave for winning Outstanding Reality Competition was short and mostly fine — at first. But he ended a boilerplate statement about the joys of travel with, "The world is not a bad place and you can travel safely." Say what now? It was just bizarre.

The Best Emmy Speeches Ever

6. Kathy Griffin, 2007 In accepting her Outstanding Reality Program trophy for My Life on the D-List, Kathy played off the worn awards show trope of thanking Jesus by uh, not thanking Jesus and instead saying, "Suck it Jesus, this award is my god now!" Hmm. Kathy does edgy and confrontational like nobody else in Hollywood, but disrespecting some 173 million Americans' sacred figure veered off the cliff from edgy into the deep depths of awkward.

5. Chevy Chase, 1976 Chase won Best Supporting Actor in Comedy for his work on Saturday Night Live, but Chase's time was already short since he and fellow nominees ran up on stage in a silly bit. By the time he got to his speech, if you can call it that, Redd Foxx was giving him the "Hurry it up" sign. Not really known for being a gentle sweetheart, Chase joked that his win was "totally expected" (how humble!) and mumbled out a few seemingly sincere thanks before leaving the stage. Granted, this was the anything-goes '70s and everything about that period was awkward, but still.

2018 Emmy Nominations by the Numbers

4. Jon Stewart, 2012 In his win for Best Variety Show at the 64th Emmys, Jon Stewart came to the mic panting, out of breath after doing a bit with Jimmy Fallon, and then huffed, "Free. Sandwich." Uh, okay then? After congratulating peers including Stephen Colbert, he joked that after Earth had burned, people would "find a box of these [statues] and they will know just how predictable these f---ing things" were in moment that kept censors on their toes. Not only did Stewart get bleeped, his hard-working, anonymous (to people at home) team went unacknowledged while he acted silly. This isn't the Golden Globes, Jon. Calm down.

3. Sally Field, 2007 Yup, one of the most memorable speech-makers of all time — Ms. "You like me!" — Sally Field started out on a poignant note in winning for Lead Actress on Brothers & Sisters. But after starting her speech talking about the value of moms and women, she started discussing women waiting for their children to come home from war and then lost her place as the audience clapped. That prompted a mini-freakout, more stammering and her shouting, "If mothers ruled the world there would be no goddamned wars in the first place," which may be true (here's hoping we get a chance to the theory) but on the whole, it was all very clumsy.

Emmys 2018: Stars React to Their Nominations

2. Patty Duke, 1970 Winning for the TV movie My Sweet Charlie, Patty Duke gave an acceptance speech that included long dramatic pauses and seemingly unconnected ideas like when she said, "I've always been told not to say thank you for too long but the best words I ever learned were hello, enthusiasm and thank you." Some people at the time speculated that Duke was on drugs or drunk, and the moment had a small affect on her career. However, Duke's career didn't suffer too much in the long run. In fact, she went on to win two more Emmys and she became a prominent mental health advocate after she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1982.

1. Allison Janney, 2004 Everyone loves Allison Janney; it's a fact. But few people love her acceptance speech when she won Lead Actress in a Drama for The West Wing in 2004. Accepting her fourth Emmy (she's got seven now) Janney said she'd spoken to her competitor, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Mariska Hargitay, before the ceremony and promised she'd give her Emmy to Hargitay if she won. Once Janney got up to the podium, though, she realized how silly that would be in the moment (her words) but asked Hargitay to come on stage with her nonetheless. Cut to Hargitay, wearing a "Durr, I guess?" expression, getting out of her seat only to stand awkwardly at the margins of the stage while Janney finished her speech. It almost made sense, but when Janney then said she'd love it if Edie Falco and the rest of the nominees would join her on stage too, you realized that no, none of this makes sense. "I'm serious," she persisted, while the others very wisely stayed in their seats. Janney certainly gets points for humility and trying to foster a sense of community, but she didn't think this through. Who'd want to stand on stage doing nothing as the winner drinks in applause? Inviting all your homies on stage might be cute at the BET Hip-Hop Awards but at the Emmys, Allison, it's super awkward.

Ready to see who'll deliver the next bad Emmy speech? The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards will air Monday, Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.

Schitt’s Creek Gets Its First Emmy Nods, and Other Highlights From This Year’s Nominations

Emmy nominations in recent years have become a bit of a drill, with Game of Thrones, Veep, Better Caul Saul and This Is Us predictably scooping up most of the nods. This year, though, had some wildcard energy, with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominating a bunch of fresh names and faces: Natasha Lyonne’s Russian Doll got some love, as did Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag (all five of its leading/supporting/guest actresses got noms but Andrew Scott’s Hot Priest didn’t, which, blasphemy!), and Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us. Beloved Canadian sitcom Schitt’s Creek FINALLY got its due, with nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series, Contemporary Costumes, and nods for both Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara.

The Emmy nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 12, and Penelope Cruz (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace”) maintains her lead in our Emmy predictions for Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress, but she shouldn’t get too comfortable. This is one of the most divided races at this year’s awards, according to our Experts, who point to five women who could overtake her.

As of this writing 10 of the 18 Expert journalists we’ve polled from top media outlets are predicting a victory for Cruz: Eric Deggans (NPR), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Pete Hammond (Deadline Hollywood), Chris Harnick (E!), Matthew Jacobs (Huffington Post), Lynette Rice (Entertainment Weekly), Robert Rorke(New York Post), Anne Thompson (IndieWire), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) and Adnan Virk (ESPN).

Cruz has never been nominated for an Emmy before, but she’s an Oscar winning movie star and Emmy voters often love those. She also plays a recognizable real-life figure, fashion designer Donatella Versace, which required the Spanish actress to speak English with an Italian accent. But it’s far from an open-and-shut case.

Two Experts say the Emmy will go to Laura Dern (“Twin Peaks: The Return“): Lynn Elber (Associated Press) and Glenn Whipp (LA Times). Dern just won this award last year for “Big Little Lies,” and voters will also be watching her this year in the telefilm “The Tale,” for which she’s the front-runner for Best Movie/Mini Actress. All that plus her recent role in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” has made her a Hollywood darling in the last 12 months.

Another two Experts are predicting Nicole Kidman (“Top of the Lake: China Girl”): Debra Birnbaum (Variety) and Ken Tucker (Yahoo). Like Dern, Kidman was an Emmy winner last year for “Big Little Lies” (Best Limited Series and Best Movie/Mini Actress), so she too is on a hot streak.

Two more Experts are betting on Angela Lansbury (“Little Women”): Tom O’Neil(Gold Derby) and Matt Roush (TV Guide Magazine). Lansbury is long, long, long overdue with no wins out of a whopping 18 past nominations. In a divided field, voters might decide it’s a good time to finally reward the 92-year-old acting legend.

Debbie Day (Rotten Tomatoes) is going out on a limb for Cruz’s “Assassination” co-star Judith Light. She’s a two-time Daytime Emmy winner for her role on “One Life to Live” (1980-1981) but she has never won in primetime despite three past nominations.

And our last Expert, Ben Travers (IndieWire) thinks Merritt Wever (“Godless”) will surprise. It wouldn’t be the first time. Wever was an upset Emmy winner in 2013 for Best Comedy Supporting Actress for “Nurse Jackie.”

Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn

Turner Sports’ Presentation of Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs. Phil PPV Event – Friday, Nov. 23, at 3 p.m. ET – to Incorporate First-of-its-Kind Innovations for Live Golf

PPV Broadcast to Include First-Ever Use of Predictive Data for Each Hole;

In Addition to Proprietary Data Stream Provided by MGM Resorts Race & Sports Books

Live Drone Coverage Presented by AT&T & Unprecedented Access to Woods & Mickelson Among

Innovative Technologies Bringing Viewers Inside the High-Stakes $9 Million Match Play Competition

Turner Sports’ exclusive coverage of Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs. Phil, the blockbuster pay-per-view event featuring the iconic Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, will incorporate a number of innovative concepts into the live golf presentation including first-of-its-kind integrations centered on predictive data. The match will take place Friday, Nov. 23, at Noon PT / 3 p.m. ET with a suggested retail price of $19.99.

The broadcast will include real-time, hole-by-hole statistics that will be displayed on screen to forecast the probability of certain outcomes during the match. The data is based on a model and algorithm that combines ShotLink Intelligence with characteristics of Shadow Creek to calculate the likelihood of various scenarios to occur. Separately, after a hole has concluded, the broadcast will integrate aproprietary data stream provided by the MGM Resorts Race & Sports Books – in association with the MGM/GVC Interactive Gaming Joint Venture – to deliver odds, moneyline and other information associated with the golfers’ performance.

Both Woods and Mickelson will selectively make side challenges against one another during the live competition. For instance, Woods or Mickelson could raise the stakes by challenging the other to get closest-to-the-pin; whether one of them can make a crucial putt from 10-feet away; the chances of getting “up-and-down” from a certain location on the course or similar competition during a hole as they play their match, with money being donated to the winning golfer’s charity of choice.

Live PPV coverage will also integrate enhancements that will provide fans with unprecedented access to Woods, Mickelson and Shadow Creek including:

Woods and Mickelson, along with their caddies, mic’d throughout the entire event, to capture the strategy and competitive banter that takes place during the winner-take-all $9 million match play competition; Live state-of-the-art drone coverage – “Drone View by AT&T” – delivering camera angles that have never been seen before for a live golf event; Data elements from Toptracer, presented by Capital One, that will display real-time trajectories and flight path for each shot; The use of Virtual Eye real-time golf animations; A variety of super slo-mo cameras to provide more defined coverage of specialty shots on the course.

As previously announced, Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs. Phil will be available on PPV through Turner’s B/R Live (available now for purchase), AT&T’s DIRECTV and AT&T U-verse. The PPV event will be distributed to other cable, satellite and telco operators including Comcast, Charter, Cox, Verizon and Altice in the U.S. and Rogers, Shaw and Bell in Canada through In Demand and Vubiquity(an Amdocs Company). AT&T is the official 4K sponsor of The Match, which will also be broadcast in 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) on DIRECTV channel 106 for $29.99*. Turner International will facilitate the distribution of live PPV access outside the U.S. and Canada.

In addition to live pay-per-view event coverage, accompanying content will be distributed across wide-ranging Turner, WarnerMedia and AT&T platforms including:

HBO Sports and its groundbreaking 18-time Sports Emmy ® Award-winning 24/7 reality franchise will capture all the excitement leading up to the match when it airs Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 10 p.m.; Bleacher Report and its wildly-popular House of Highlights, which recently surpassed 10 million followers on Instagram, will offer comprehensive highlights and behind-the-scenes content; Turner’s TNT will also televise programming with select content from the event a week following the live competition.

The media rights agreement with Turner was completed in partnership between CAA Sports, Excel Sports Management and Lagardère Sports. Excel and Lagardère Sports, who represent Woods and Mickelson respectively, are also the event organizers for The Match.

Emmys Predictions: Who Will Win and Who Should Win in 2018?

The 2018 Primetime Emmys are just a few days away, so it’s time to take a look back at the last year in television to see if “Game of Thrones” will dominate again, and who will step up in the comedy categories with “Veep” out of contention this year.

Last year, it was HBO’s blockbuster fantasy series that was ineligible, opening the door for a dominant showing from Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” This year, the two shows will be competing against one another.

Meanwhile, on the comedy side, three-time Outstanding Comedy winner, “Veep,” took the year off. This means that six-time reigning champ Julia Louis-Dreyfus was also ineligible, opening up the competition for the first time in more than half a decade. Can Tracee Ellis Ross finally rise to the top, or will the buzz of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” push Rachel Brosnahan above her.

Other shows anticipating a big night include “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” which is looking to virtually sweep the limited series category, and “Saturday Night Live,” which saw more acting nominations this year than in its entire history.

All eyes will also be on “The Americans,” the critically acclaimed Russian spy series in its last year of eligibility, as well as “This Is Us,” slowly creeping more and more into the spotlight and trying to bring even more Emmy gold back to network television. Perhaps an Oustanding Dramatic Series win to match its SAG Award earlier this year?

No matter what happens, TooFab is sure to disagree with some — or all — of their choices. So we’ve made our own predictions on who will win, and who should win.

Outstanding Reality-Competition Program

“The Amazing Race” (CBS)

“American Ninja Warrior” (NBC)

“Project Runway” (Lifetime)

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” (VH1)

“Top Chef” (Bravo)

“The Voice” (NBC)

Not much changes in this category year after year, with both “The Amazing Race” and “The Voice” dominating the category, and the latter taking the award the past three years running. It definitely seems like the shine has worn off of “Race,” which continues to be nominated every year that this award has existed. While we’d love to see “RuPaul’s Drag Race” win it in its second year of contention for being the funniest and most innovative reality show on telveision, “The Voice” added Jennifer Hudson in Season 13 and fellow “Idol” alum Kelly Clarkson in Season 14, Both moves proved incredibly popular with fans and critics, keeping the show in the spotlight and re-energizing it, making “The Voice” likely to win for the fourth straight year.

Should Win: “RuPaul’s Drag Race” (VH1)

Will Win: “The Voice” (NBC)

Outstanding Variety Sketch Series

“At Home with Amy Sedaris” (truTV)

“Drunk History” (Comedy Central)

“I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman” (Hulu)

“Portlandia” (IFC)

“Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

“Tracey Ullman’s Show” (HBO)

In only its fourth year as a distinct category, the variety format was largely dominated by “Saturday Night Live,” which continues to experience a renaissance largely in part to the Trump White House and Alec Baldwin’s recurring performance as the Commander in Chief. Amy Sedaris and Sarah Silverman injected new blood into the category, but their shows don’t feel as fully realized yet as the returning nominees. Honestly, it would be nice if “Portlandia” took home a trophy in its final year as one of the most consistently funny and unique sketch shows in the history of the format. Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein went largely under-appreciated for eight years in this gem, but there’s no way they’re going to stop the “SNL” juggernaut, riding more acting nominations (nine total) this year than ever before.

Should Win: “Portlandia” (IFC)

Will Win: “Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

Outstanding Variety Talk Series

“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” (Comedy Central)

“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” (TBS)

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (ABC)

“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” (HBO)

“The Late Late Show with James Corden” (CBS)

“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (NBC)

This is another category that has benefited tremendously from the controversial Trump White House, with John Oliver the two-time reigning champion. “The Daily Show” returns for the first time with new host Trevor Noah, but he wasn’t nearly as strong as Oliver or Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel in their skewering of current events, which will likely determine the winner here. And while it feels very inevitable that Oliver’s well-researched and lengthy breakdowns will win again, there’s definitely something to be said for how well Colbert has revitalized the “Late Show” with a new sense of energy. He’s turned it into one of the smartest and most relevant shows on television, often writing his monologue and bits up to the moment the cameras start rolling, and he does it on a daily show.

Should Win: “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (CBS)

Will Win: “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” (HBO)

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

Jeff Daniels, “Godless” (Netflix)

Brandon Victor Dixon, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” (NBC)

John Leguizamo, “Waco” (Paramount Network)

Ricky Martin, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Edgar Ramirez, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Michael Stuhlbarg, “The Looming Tower” (Hulu)

Finn Wittrock, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Brandon Victor Dixon was a revelation in NBC’s live production of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” easily stealing the show from many of the more known Hollywood stars in the cast. But is that enough to topple the Academy’s clear love for “American Crime Story,” with three total nods? Or Emmy favorite Jeff Daniels, who’s double-nominated this year for his work here in “Godless,” and in the lead role in “The Looming Tower.” We think his villainous turn in the under-appreciated Western is what’s going to bring home Emmy gold, while “ACS” will score elsewhere.

Should Win: Brandon Victor Dixon, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” (NBC)”

Will Win: Jeff Daniels, “Godless” (Neflix)

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie

Sara Bareilles, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” (NBC)

Penelope Cruz, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Judith Light, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Adina Porter, “American Horror Story: Cult” (FX)

Merritt Wever, “Godless” (Netflix)

Letitia Wright, “Black Museum (Black Mirror)” (Netflix)

Letitia Wright is riding high from “Black Panther,” and this nom is more a reflection of her cultural relevance at the moment, while Sara Bareilles is a huge surprise and Adina Porter is representing fading franchise in the Academy’s eyes. Judith Light is a television legend, but Merrit Wever is a modern-day legend when it comes to the Academy. She scored her first win for her work on “Nurse Jackie,” and earns her sixth nomination here. She was fantastic as the widowed mayor’s wife in the gloriously dark “Godless,” but the Academy clearly loved “American Crime Story” and it’s going to be hard to resist Penelope Cruz’s relentless take on fashion icon Donatella Versace … not to mention her movie-star status, which still seems to hold some sway with the Academy.

Should Win: Merritt Wever, “Godless” (Netflix)

Will Win: Penelope Cruz, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

Antonio Banderas, “Genius: Picasso” (Nat Geo)

Darren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (HBO)

Benedict Cumberbatch, “Patrick Melrose” (Showtime)

Jeff Daniels, “The Looming Tower” (Hulu)

John Legend, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” (NBC)

Jesse Plemons, “USS Callister (Black Mirror)” (Amazon)

Plemons was an unexpected surprise for his powerful work in “Black Mirror’s” most popular episode this season (and he could play spoiler here), but this is a category we feel pretty strongly is leaning toward one very deserving performance. Darren Criss fully embodied the twisted serial killer Andrew Cunanan in “American Crime Story” and the performance should and will be recognized for his commitment to it, and the subtle nuances he used to bring the character to sympathetic-yet-terrifying life.

Should Win: Darren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (HBO)

Will Win: Darren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (HBO)

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie

Jessica Biel, “The Sinner” (USA)

Laura Dern, “The Tale” (HBO)

Michelle Dockery, “Godless” (Netflix)

Edie Falco, “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders” (NBC)

Regina King, “Seven Seconds” (Netflix)

Sarah Paulson, “American Horror Story: Cult” (Amazon)

Edie Falco is an Emmy favorite, so if they go with the lazy choice, they might just throw it her way. She’s always solid, but she isn’t the most exciting choice here. Regina King was her usual brilliant self, but she will probably be her usually overlooked self come Emmy night for a show that dropped a while ago and has largely been forgotten. The same goes for Jessica Biel, though she is the most deserving winner her for her stellar work against type in “The Sinner.” Biel was a tour de force, showing greater depth of range and character than we’d ever seen from her, and she owned every episode of the series’ first season. But then there’s Laura Dern, fresh off a win last year for “Big Little Lies,” and an awards-show darling. And while she is solid on “The Tale,” her performance didn’t turn heads and get people talking in the way Biel did.

Should Win: Jessica Biel, “The Sinner” (USA)

Will Win: Laura Dern, “The Tale” (HBO)

“The Alienist” (TNT)

“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

“Genius: Picasso” (Nat Geo)

“Godless” (Netflix)

“Patrick Melrose” (Showtime)

“Patrick Melrose” is a little too stodgy,” “The Alienist” a little too commercial and “Genius” a litle under-baked. Honestly, the category didn’t have a lot of really strong contenders on the year, leaving it largely a two-horse race between the Netflix dark Western and FX’s twisted true-crime saga. The latter had way more buzz on the year, and the kind of star power most creators wish they could bring (and Ryan Murphy always seems to be able to pull off). That said, “Godless” is a tighter and more consistent series, while “Crime Story” suffers some bloat and lag in its middle chapters. But we don’t think voters will care.

Should Win: “Godless” (Netflix)

Will Win: “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” (FX)

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones” (HBO)

Peter Dinklage, “Game of Thrones” (HBO)

Joseph Fiennes, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

David Harbour, “Stranger Things” (Netflix)

Mandy Patinkin, “Homeland” (Showtime)

Matt Smith, “The Crown” (Amazon)

“Game of Thrones” is back to throw a wrench in things, as “The Handmaid’s Tale” absolutely dominated the Emmys with the HBO favorite absent last season. This year, it’ll be a battle between those two heavyweights and “The Crown” in most categories, though we don’t see Matt Smith putting up enough of a fight here, despite a brilliant season. Peter Dinklage is a two-time winner who had a commanding presence this year, while David Harbour could prove a dark horse contender for his more mature and complicated role in “Stranger Things 2.” But no one gave a performance as challenging or chilling as Joseph Fiennes in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” deserving not only of this recognition, but a trophy as well.

Should Win: Joseph Fiennes, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Will Win: David Harbour, “Stranger Things” (Netflix)

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Alexis Bledel, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Millie Bobby Brown, “Stranger Things” (Netflix)

Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Lena Headey, “Game of Thrones” (HBO)

Vanessa Kirby, “The Crown” (Netflix)

Thandie Newton, “Westworld” (HBO)

Yvonne Strahovski, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Another powerhouse category, and last season’s winner, “The Handmaid’s Tale” faces itself … twice, with two winners already. Alexis Bledel moved from guest to supporting and faces off against last season’s winner here in Ann Dowd, but it’s Yvonne Strahovski who had the most powerful year, scoring her first nod for her tortured work. There’s a chance the Academy wills often on “Thrones” this year, as it will have one more year of eligiblity before its over, or there may just be too much competition here. But the edge may go to Thandie Newton, who has confounded viewers and critics for her unapologetic performance as Maeve, a whore robot suffering a major identity crisis.

Should Win: Yvonne Strahovski, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Will Win: Thandie Newton, “Westworld” (HBO)

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Jason Bateman, “Ozark” (Netflix)

Sterling K. Brown, “This Is Us” (NBC)

Ed Harris, “Westworld” (HBO)

Matthew Rhys, “The Americans” (FX)

Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us” (NBC)

Jeffrey Wright, “Westworld” (HBO)

Sterling K. Brown won this category, and awards shows love to hand him trophies, so he could easily repeat. But he’s facing stiff competition from his own show, as Milo Ventimiglia played out his much-anticipated death and made audiences love him even more. “Westworld” brought some amazing work from both Jeffrey Wright and Ed Harris, nominated for the first time for this show, while “Ozark” is still settling into its groove. But the show and performance that deserves some attention is Matthew Rhys for his final turn as a KGB spy in “The Americans.” This show has finally gotten some love in nominations, but is woefully under-represented with gold, considering the consistent caliber of its seasons.

Should Win: Matthew Rhys, “The Americans” (FX)

Will Win: Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us” (NBC)

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Claire Foy, “The Crown” (Netflix)

Tatiana Maslany, “Orphan Black” (BBC America)

Elisabeth Moss, “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Netflix)

Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve” (BBC America)

Keri Russell, “The Americans” (FX)

Evan Rachel Wood, “Westworld” (HBO)

Tatiana Maslany returned to a category she’s done very well, but “Orphan Black” kind of ended with a whimper, so we suspect this is as far as she’ll go. Elisabeth Moss is our returning champ, but she’s facing some stiff competition in Claire Foy. It’s her final season on “The Crown,” and its a performance that has had critics raving for two years now. On top of that, Keri Russell also bids farewell to a critically-acclaimed performance, though she’d be as much a surprise win as her on-screen husband Matthew Rhys for Best Actor. Honestly, we’d love to see both of them go out on top, with twin trophies for six amazing seasons. Or maybe the Academy will just give it to Moss, who was, admittedly, amazing again.

Should Win: Keri Russell, “The Americans” (FX)

Will Win: Claire Foy, “The Crown” (Netflix)

Outstanding Drama Series

“The Americans” (FX)

“The Crown” (Netflix)

“Game of Thrones” (HBO)

“The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

“Stranger Things” (Netflix)

“This Is Us” (NBC)

“Westworld” (HBO)

This is a brutal category, featuring the last two winners facing off for the first time with the returning “Game of Thrones” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Could one of them repeat and spoil things for the other, or will a fresh upstart get in the way. “The Crown” has been in the shadow of slightly buzzier shows since its inception, but had its strongest season yet, while “Westworld” continues to grow in buzz and accolades and confusion. But this could be the year that broadcast television takes a big stand with the most talked about storyline of the past year in the death of family patricarch Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia — also nominated) on “This Is Us.” Every bit as compelling, sharp and smart as its cable brethren, could it be their time? Probably not, just as “The Americans” will probably get overlooked yet again so “The Handmaid’s Tale” can repeat.

Should Win: “This Is Us” (NBC)

Will Win: “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu)

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Louie Anderson, “Baskets” (FX)

Alec Baldwin, “Saturday Night Live” (HBO)

Tituss Burgess, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (ABC)

Brian Tyree Henry, “Atlanta” (FX)

Tony Shalhoub, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

Kenan Thompson, “Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

Henry Winkler, “Barry” (HBO)

Both of the last two winners in this category are still in contention, with Louie Anderson still turning in a uniquely nuanced performance as a put-upon mother on “Baskets.” But that show is getting older now and has little buzz, while last year’s winner, Alec Baldwin, is still bringing Trump to life on “SNL” many times a year. New to the field this year are Brian Tyree Henry, Kenan Thompson and Tony Shalhoub, who used to clean up for “Monk” every year. But the real revelation is Henry Winkler’s dark, hilarious turn as a passionately quirky acting coach on “Barry.”

Should Win: Henry Winkler, “Barry” (HBO)

Will Win: Alec Baldwin, “Saturday Night Live” (HBO)

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Zazie Beetz, “Atlanta” (FX)

Alex Borstein, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

Aidy Bryant, “Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

Betty Gilpin, “GLOW” (Netflix)

Leslie Jones, “Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

Kate McKinnon, “Saturday Night Live” (NBC)

Laurie Metcalf, “Roseanne” (ABC)

Megan Mullally “Will & Grace” (NBC)

What a stacked category, and with two icons from the ’90s returning to the field for the same roles in Megan Mullally and Laurie Metcalf. The “Roseanne” stink might hurt Metcalf, and the Academy seems even less enthused about “Will & Grace.” The Academy is probably not going to show “Atlanta” love outside of Donald Glover, and the “SNL” ladies could run the risk of cancelling one another out. Kate McKinnon is coming off back-to-back wins, making a third even less likely. So we think the Academy is going to notice and recognize “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in this category with a well-deserved win for Alex Borstein, who has been working brilliantly in comedy for years (“Family Guy,” “MadTV”) but somehow still largely under the radar.

Should Win: Alex Borstein, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

Will Win: Alex Borstein, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Anthony Anderson, “black-ish” (ABC)

Ted Danson, “The Good Place” (NBC)

Larry David, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (HBO)

Donald Glover, “Atlanta” (Hulu)

Bill Hader, “Barry” (Netflix)

William H. Macy, “Shameless” (NBC)

Donald Glover scored a victory in this category last year, but he’s perhaps even more relevant this year thanks to his acclaimed return to music. But he has to face the return of sitcom royalty in Ted Danson, who won several times for his work on “Cheers.” And we know the Academy likes a good comeback kid. But the real surprise here might be Bill Hader as a hitman-turned-actor in “Barry.” If the Acadey wants to go bold, they could choose him, or acknowledge the quietly brilliant and relevant work of Anthony Anderson on “black-ish” all these years. He turned in his most challenging work this year as the show took a dramatic turn when marital issues struck the family.

Should Win: Anthony Anderson, “black-ish” (ABC)

Will Win: Ted Danson, “The Good Place” (NBC)

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Pamela Adlon, “Better Things” (FX)

Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

Allison Janney, “Mom” (CBS)

Issa Rae, “Insecure” (HBO)

Tracee Ellis Ross, “black-ish” (ABC)

Lily Tomlin, “Grace and Frankie” (Netflix)

The big news for this category is that after six straight wins for “Veep,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus is not going to win again (but only because “Veep” took the year off). That opens the door for a new face, which could include awards-show fav Allison Janney, still riding that Oscar buzz. But it’s probably going to come down to a battle between Rachel Brosnahan and Tracee Ellis Ross. The latter has been the underdog favorite to win for years, so this could be her chance. But then comes along Brosnahan and one of the most buzzed about shows on television, and Ross might have to settle for a nomination once again. Besides, the real underdog here is Pamela Adlon, who is to the brilliant “Better Things” what Donald Glover is to “Atlanta.” In other words, she is everything, and yet she is again the only thing about this gem even nominated.

Should Win: Tracee Ellis Ross, “black-ish”

Will Win: Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”

Outstanding Comedy Series

“Atlanta” (FX)

“Barry” (HBO)

“black-ish” (ABC)

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” (HBO)

“GLOW” (Netflix)

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon)

“Silicon Valley” (HBO)

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (Netflix)

Another door that’s opened with “Veep” out of contention this year after a three-year victory streak, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has all of the buzz, but “Atlanta” is one of the mosts acclaimed shows on television and might rise to the occasion. Honestly, this might be the toughest category to call with eight nominees. “GLOW” surprised everyone with 10 total nominations, but it just feels a little too out there for the Academy. “Silicon Valley” and “Curb” don’t have the edge they used to, and “Barry” may be too unknown yet. No, it comes down to “Maisel” and “Atlanta.” Last year, Glover had to settle for an acting award last year, and we think that’s what will happen with Brosnahan and “Maisel” this year.

Should Win: “Atlanta”

Will Win: “Atlanta”

In the past few years, the Emmys have become the worst thing of all: predictable.

Ten years ago, if you were in the business of making Emmy predictions, nomination day was inevitably filled with disappointments and confusion, but it also inevitably featured a handful of wild surprises, nominations that came out of nowhere and spiced up otherwise drab proceedings.

In 2018, it might be the march of the Emmy prediction complex toward dominating the half of the awards calendar not already devoted to the Oscars, or it might be the change in Emmy voting rules and the growth of big-money campaigning for contenders (to the degree that Netflix takes over a full soundstage in Hollywood to stump for its shows), but the Emmys feel less and less like the collected whims of a bunch of irascible retired TV professionals and more and more like company voters following a straight corporate line.

This has largely made the nominations more representative of the overall quality of television in any given year — though heaven knows they miss the mark here and there. But they’ve also become slightly duller. Even seeing my beloved The Americans stars nominated for the third year in a row mostly got an approving nod from me. “Good work, Emmys,” I said, and if they had been a small child, I would have patted them on the head.

But even though most of the 2018 nominations were thoroughly expected, some interesting narratives emerged, for better and for worse. Here are the nine winners and six losers at the center of them.

The Crown led Netflix’s nominees with 13 nominations. Netflix

For the last 17 years, HBO has been the king of the Emmy nominations. The network routinely blew away the competition with its ability to compete in all categories, not just a handful. Whether it aired a drama series or a variety special, HBO was sure to at least earn a look from the Emmys.

HBO’s streak has now ended. The network still pulled 108 nominations, down from 111 in 2017, but that number was no match for Netflix’s 112 nominations, which were up a staggering 20 nods from the streaming service’s 2017 total of 92. Like HBO, Netflix can compete in essentially every category. While it’s never won a major series category — something HBO has done multiple times — Netflix’s ascent suggests it’s just a matter of time. (Though probably not this year.)

What’s even more remarkable is how many different programs helped Netflix rack up 112 nominations. HBO’s top two honorees — Game of Thrones with 22 nominations, and Westworld with 21 — accounted for just under 40 percent of the network’s total. But Netflix’s top two — The Crown, with 13 nominations, and then pick either Godless or Stranger Things, which garnered 12 nominations apiece — account for just over 22 percent of its total.

Overall, Netflix has four shows that are each nominated in the double digits, with GLOW’s 10 nominations joining the three programs already listed. And you can go beyond those to look at, say, the assorted nominations for Black Mirror, or the two directing nominations for Ozark (for some reason), or the various one-off nominations the service snagged for less-heralded programs, like a guest acting nomination for Mindhunter and an editing nomination for One Day at a Time and a writing nom (yes!) for American Vandal.

Yeah, there are Netflix shows that deserve more Emmy love. That the awards continue to ignore One Day at a Time in the major categories is ridiculous, and what does BoJack Horseman have to do to get a nomination? Similarly, the once Emmy-approved Orange Is the New Black seems to have completely fallen out of favor. But for one year at least, Netflix is your new Emmy king.

Of course, saying that HBO ceded ground in the Emmy nominations race by only achieving 108 nominations ignores that the network still earned 108 Emmy nominations. That’s a ridiculously good total.

Plus, it’s bolstered by the fact that HBO managed to get three separate shows — Barry, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Silicon Valley — nominated for Best Comedy Series, as well as both Westworld and Game of Thrones nominated for Best Drama Series. Had the network somehow rushed to get Sharp Objects, its critically acclaimed new miniseries, on the air in April, it almost certainly would have retained the nominations crown. (Indeed, the real reason HBO seems to have slipped isn’t that Netflix surpassed it, but that HBO didn’t have a strong Limited Series contender this year, while Netflix had Godless.)

Plus, if you look past the HBO versus Netflix match-up, you’ll find NBC in third place with 78 nominations. Before HBO ruled the roost, NBC was the Emmy king, and the network is also still doing fine, thanks to shows like Saturday Night Live, This Is Us, and Jesus Christ Superstar. The top three nominated networks suggest that when it comes to garnering Emmy nominations, TV is strong across the board.

After eight consecutive nominations for Best Comedy Series — and five consecutive wins from 2010 to 2014 — Modern Family has finally succumbed to the laws of Emmy gravity and slipped quietly out of the comedy series category. What’s more, it only garnered one nomination total this year, for its sound mixing. Bye, Modern Family. It was kind of fun when you won those first few Emmys, and then it became dull and repetitive.

Rachel Brosnahan IS The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Amazon

The comedy turnover of 2018 isn’t quite to the level of five first-time nominees crowding into the Drama Series category in 2017, but this year saw three first-season comedies leap into the Comedy Series category, with all three grabbing 10 or more nominations.

HBO’s hitman farce Barry pulled in 13, Amazon’s stand-up period piece The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel grabbed 14 (and instantly quadrupled the perpetually snubbed Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino’s number of Emmy nominations), and Netflix’s wrestling comedy GLOW landed 10 nominations.

What’s more, with returning champion Veep ineligible (as it aired no new episodes during the eligibility period to let Julia Louis-Dreyfus undergo treatment for cancer), you could make an argument for one of these programs winning — especially the very Emmy-friendly Maisel, which could easily be described as “Mad Men with harder jokes.” Except I think the winner is going to be…

The 2017 Emmys brought an impressive influx of new shows, with five new dramas nominated and Atlanta breaking into a very competitive comedy series category. And though three of those dramas saw their nominations totals dip a bit — Westworld fell from 22 nods to 21, Stranger Things from 19 to 12, and This Is Us from 10 to eight — all of them hung around in their respective categories and even kept up some of their big nominations in other categories. (Westworld managed five acting nominations, for instance.)

And then there was Atlanta, which leaped from six nominations to 16, the highest tally earned by any comedy series. It received two writing nominations, two directing nominations, and four acting nominations, three of which were for members of its regular cast. (The fourth was a guest acting nomination.) Atlanta’s success further cemented Donald Glover’s takeover of the pop culture landscape, and it only underlined the FX series as one of the best shows around.

On the drama side, the two other second-season drama series’ nominees also fared very well. The Crown matched its season one total with 13 nominations. And then there was The Handmaid’s Tale.

Yvonne Strahovski received a well-deserved nomination for The Handmaid’s Tale. Hulu

The Handmaid’s Tale made the leap from 13 nominations to 20 nominations, only barely trailing Game of Thrones and Westworld. When you consider that The Handmaid’s Tale doesn’t boast the massive effects sequences that those two HBO dramas do, it becomes even more impressive that the series was able to garner so many nods.

It did so thanks to one big strength: its cast. The Handmaid’s Tale garnered eight acting nominations, which isn’t quite a record (The West Wing once pulled in 12) but is, needless to say, an incredibly difficult feat in an age when there are so many different TV shows on the air. What’s more, Handmaid’s dominated the Supporting Actress and Guest Actress categories, grabbing three nominations in each. Even Kelly Jenrette, the woman who played the first wife of Luke in a flashback, was nominated, something that I, for one, would never have predicted.

It’s vaguely remarkable that Handmaid’s managed so many nominations after a second season that was more polarizing than its first. (Then again, since voting closed well before the season’s most divisive episode — its finale — aired, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.) But considering that level of Emmy voter support, particularly from the Television Academy’s actors, The Handmaid’s Tale has to be considered a strong bet to win its second Drama Series crown.

There weren’t a ton of surprising “snubs” this year — in which performers or series that are considered shoo-ins go unrecognized — because, again, the Emmy-nomination prediction complex grows with every year.

But two assumed nominees who were unexpectedly passed over were Alison Brie and Marc Maron, who had both managed several nominations from other awards bodies for their roles on GLOW but weren’t nominated by the Emmys in favor of other performances.

Considering those performances were probably Insecure’s Issa Rae (over Brie) and Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry (over Maron), we can’t be too upset. But Maron still would have been a much better nominee than Saturday Night Live’s Alec Baldwin. Speaking of which…

For the second year in a row, Saturday Night Live is one of the top nominated programs, with more than 20 nominations. Its 21 nominations, compared to 22 in 2017, are ever so slightly down, sure, but the show still continues to haul in nominations for essentially everything it does.

I’m not going to begrudge guest nominations for Donald Glover or Tiffany Haddish or Bill Hader from when they hosted the show. Nor am I going to be upset that, say, Kenan Thompson finally earned a nomination for his long-running, frequently brilliant work on the series.

But it is galling to me that Baldwin was nominated yet again for his smugly horrible sleepwalk of a Donald Trump impersonation, which is not in the 100 worst things about the Trump administration but is surely in the top 200 somewhere. Right? It has to be. Right? Moving on.

I am delighted that comedy writer and Twitter jokester Megan Amram is now a two-time Emmy nominee for the short-form program An Emmy for Megan, whose title is now almost prophetic.

He is the FBI! Showtime

The Limited Series categories are a bit of a mixed bag this year. On the one hand, the bold FX series The Assassination of Gianni Versace managed 18 nominations, despite being more polarizing than its People vs. O.J. Simpson predecessor. On the other hand, a bunch of nominations went to Godless, which was okay, I guess, but not 12 nominations okay. And then you come to projects like Genius: Picasso, which was genuinely awful, and The Alienist, which was fine, and Patrick Melrose, which I liked but feels like it’s taking up space.

All I can think when looking at the 2018 Limited Series slate is: There were so many better options! Including Twin Peaks: The Return, which was perhaps the best TV series of 2017. Sure, the show managed several technical nominations, as well as nods for its writing and direction, but nothing for its cast or for the series itself. This is unconscionable — even if you could see the snub coming from a mile away, since Twin Peaks is so strange and esoteric as to actively turn off as many voters as it attracts!

But at least I can be happy about the handful of nominations Twin Peaks did get. My other favorite in this category, AMC’s The Terror, received zero nominations, despite being a genuinely brilliant and unsettling dive into survival horror, the likes of which TV hasn’t really seen before. The show didn’t even get nominated for its sets and costumes, which feels like the Emmys deliberately ignoring it. C’mon, Emmys!

It’s been nice to see The Americans, once a perpetual Emmy snub waiting to happen, quietly become a nominee. It’s been especially nice to see stars Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell (who better win, I swear!!!!) receive nominations in the lead acting categories.

But you know what? The snub I’m most sad about is Noah Emmerich, who richly deserved a nomination for his deconstruction of FBI agent Stan Beeman in the show’s final season, if only for what he does in the series finale alone. And with the supporting actor category being a little weak this year, I thought it might actually happen.

But no, it didn’t. Emmerich will never receive an Emmy nomination for his work on The Americans, and that’s too bad.

On the other hand, Sandra Oh broke through in the ultra-competitive Lead Actress in a Drama Series race, with her sizzling work on Killing Eve, snagging one of just two nominations for the hot new series. (The other was for its pilot script.) Oh was nominated several times for her past work on Grey’s Anatomy in the supporting category, but this is her first lead nomination — and the first lead nomination period for an Asian actress in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.

Yeah, this show was never going to be nominated, but it should have been. It was one of the best dramas of its era, and its complete lack of Emmy love will always be disappointing.

There aren’t a ton of EGOT stories waiting to happen at this year’s Emmys, but there is one: John Legend, who could complete his collection of the four biggest trophies in entertainment by winning either of his two nominations for NBC’s live concert version of Jesus Christ Superstar. (Legend already has 10 Grammys, an Oscar for writing the song “Glory” for Selma, and a Tony for producing a revival of the play Jitney.)

His nomination for his Jesus Christ Superstar performance seems out of reach — he’s up against everybody from Darren Criss to Benedict Cumberbatch to Jeff Daniels — but he was also a producer of the special, which gives him a much easier path toward a win. All Superstar has to do is beat the Grammy Awards, and who cares about those?!

Yes, there were some nice surprises at this year’s Emmys. Rae’s nomination for Insecure, as well as Ted Danson’s for The Good Place, are both richly deserved and hopefully presage further Emmy love for both programs. There were also some inexplicable surprises, like Jason Bateman being nominated for his work on Ozark (over several much more deserving potential nominees) while his co-star Laura Linney (who was just as good, if not better) was not.

But, really, this was a fairly expected Emmys, to the degree that I, a casual prediction-maker, got almost everything right.

Maybe this is indicative of the fact that I put way more effort into thinking about the Emmys than most people, but the same reaction seems common across the internet. The Emmys can be infuriating, but I almost rather they’d be infuriating instead of boring. So there’s only one solution here: Bring back Modern Family!!!
