Chelsea Handler officially joins Netflix – Remember those supposedly-false rumors about Chelsea Handler teaming up with Netflix? Well, they certainly do not appear to be anywhere near as false anymore! The soon-to-be-ex-host of “Chelsea Lately” will launch a talk show with the streaming service in early 2016, and that comes after she will do four “docu-comedy” […]
If there was a category for the Primetime Emmy Awards that we feel is in a big need of a shakeup, it’s the Supporting Actor in a Comedy field. There are about 20 or so great people who are worthy here, and many have either been brimming under the surface for some time, or just […]
Do shows targeted towards teenagers and young adults tend to get the shaft when it comes to major awards? They are certainly at a disadvantage in that while children’s series tend to have their own categories, they do not. Also, the majority of Emmy voters have probably not seen an episode of “Teen Wolf” or […]
At this point maybe two years ago, the majority of the Emmy Comedy Series categories were almost a given to go to “Modern Family.” The only real exception to that were Lead Actor and Actress, since none of the stars would submit in the category. This at least left these two fields wide open for […]
Sometimes, you have Emmy categories that are pretty easy to call, and sometimes you have some that are pretty easy to call even though you wish that they weren’t. The Actor in a Comedy Series race is typically the latter. Take, for example, the fact that you will probably see Jim Parsons, Louis CK, and Don […]

The guest actor categories are traditionally some of the most open-ended ones for the Emmys. There are hundreds of options, and much of it comes down to personal taste unless you have a case like when John Lithgow won for “Dexter,” and the winner is obvious to almost everyone. We feel like when it comes […]
We always enjoy Emmy categories where it does not necessarily feel like there is any defined favorite, and that is the sort of position that we are in here for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Anna Gunn is probably the favorite, but will voters feel like the “Breaking Bad” victory tour has already gone […]
Today is the last day that we are profiling performers from the drama category for our 2014 Emmy wish list here on CarterMatt, and we’ve once again got a list of people who run the gamut of great shows. Like with the Guest Actor in a Drama category, though, it is hard to pin down […]
Well, things are getting interesting when it comes to the 2014 Daytime Emmy Awards; ironically, it’s become more like the short-lived “One Life to Live” and “All My Children” revivals. For the first time, the annual ceremony is going to not air on a major network (it was on HLN the past two years), and […]
