2014 is turning out to be a very good year for Emilia Clarke. She had the opportunity to do some serious damage on “Game of Thrones” season 3 (thank her dragons for some of that), star in Broadway’s adaptation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (even if the show did not end up lasting for a particularly […]
Prior to the Emmy nominations announcement on Thursday, we all knew that we were going to see Lena Dunham of “Girls” receive some sort of accolade. But Adam Driver? This was something both new and somewhat unexpected. His performance as the bizarre, aggressive, and at times terrifying Adam has been fantastic since the very beginning […]
Another Emmys has come and gone, and it is another Emmys without “Sons of Anarchy” getting the love that both fans, some critics, and show creator Kurt Sutter believes that it deserves. Over the years, journalists have been able to speak about his post-award shows rants with sensationalism, talking about whether or not his harsh […]
Now that we’ve given ourselves a few moments to complain relentlessly about some of the ways that the Primetime Emmy Awards got it wrong this year, why not take a minute to change things up and focus on what they got right? There were some surprises on the show that we were actually rather thrilled […]
Emmys, Orphan Black, Sons of Anarchy
This year with the Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, we had a ton of predictable nominations. We also had a few surprises, but those are things that we will get to in another article. This is all about trying to figure out where this show got it wrong, and they got it wrong plenty with some […]
Bright and early on Thursday morning (or even so early that the sun is still sleeping for those on the West Coast), the Primetime Emmy Award nominations were first announced. We guess that one of the motivating factors here is that the Emmys get you off to a great or terrible start, and you have […]
Whenever we try to think about who we would want to see nominated in the Reality Host category for the Primetime Emmy Awards, there is one question that always comes to mind: Can we imagine the show working without them? More than any other, the five people that we’ve listed here are really integral to […]
Big Brother, Emmys, The Glee Project, The Voice, Top Chef
We hate to say it, but the past year has not been a great one for singing competitions. Save for maybe “The Voice,” singing shows are starting to dissipate, “Survivor” cast Brandon Hantz for a second time, “So You Think You Can Dance” had an extremely disjointed summer season, and “The Amazing Race” continued to […]
Brace yourself for something that is rather surprising: A Supporting Actor in a Comedy category for the Primetime Emmy Awards that does not include a “Modern Family” star. We thought about originally including at least one of them, but then the nomination possibilities started to roll in, and we realized that there were six people […]
As we start to close out the comedy category in our Primetime Emmy Awards preview series (the pre-nomination edition), we do with a category that is strong across the board, and not just because a woman with Strong as a last name is in it. The Supporting Actress in a Comedy field has been insane […]
