One of the exciting things about the Emmys this year is that in some ways, the race feels fairly open. We do think that there are some favorites in the drama race such as “Mr. Robot,” but there isn’t necessarily one comedy that is standing head and shoulders above the rest. There’s some division there […]
Tomorrow morning, the 2016 Emmy Awards are going to be officially announced! It’s a joyous time, and we’re thrilled to be able to discuss and analyze all of the various nominees that are out there, especially in terms of who got snubbed, who are the favorites, and who are the surprises. For now, we’re casting […]
We’ve covered well over a dozen categories in our 2016 Emmy preview, but today, we’re here to chronicle the very last category of the summer in Outstanding Reality Host. There are six names that we’ve included below that span the spectrum of the genre, whether it be live competition shows, pre-taped strategy games, or skill-based battles starring […]
The Outstanding Reality Competition Program category at the Primetime Emmy Awards is broken. It has been for years. When you look at the nominees, routinely they include “The Voice,” “Top Chef,” “The Amazing Race,” and “Project Runway.” All are good shows, but we suspect at times that the voters aren’t taking the category seriously and don’t […]

Today, we’re posting our final Emmy picks for the year when it comes to acting, and we’re doing so in a field that is especially strong this year: Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. We’ve got in here six incredible women who performed lights-out playing a variety of different characters. Many of them were silly, some of […]
This year, the Emmys are really bringing it in spades when it comes to the Comedy field. It’s more spread-out than it has possibly ever been thanks to streaming services, and with that, it’s also getting harder and harder to come up with just six names. Yet, that’s what we try to do here, and […]
What does it take to make a great Comedy Actress? We really don’t think there is any one element other than that you have to be captivating. Maybe you are incredibly funny, maybe you make everyone around you incredibly funny, or maybe you just create such a warmness in the heart of the viewer that […]
Starring as an actor in a comedy series these days means so much more than being able to say silly lines or being a physical presence. You’ve got to be versatile, you have to be able to tackle serious moments, and above all else, you have to be compelling. Whether you are the straight man […]
We’re now firmly in the age of hyper-competition on TV, and we’re really not sure that there is a single genre that has ultimately felt this more than comedy.
