It seems like this could be one of the most interesting Emmys in quite a while as we don’t have nearly as many ‘locks’ as we normally do right up to the weekend before the big show. Game of Thrones, which sat out last year, was the big winner at the two nights of the Creative Arts Emmys, winning eight. …

Probably the most anticipated categories of the Emmy awards, even more than series, are the acting cats. With so many returning winners, first-time nominees and those looking for a first win after multiple nominations, there is someone for everyone to root for. But who’s gonna win? Right up at the top, the lead acting categories for drama series feel very …

Unlike the series categories, there are no ‘returning champs’ in the Limited Series/TV categories…well, not exactly. Anthologies such as American Horror Story feature returning actors (like Sarah Paulson, below) but not necessarily in recurring roles. Then there is the case of Elisabeth Moss in Top of the Lake. While not an anthology, but a continuation of a short-form miniseries, she …

This year’s Lead Actress in a Drama Series race is shaping up to be a true battle royale. Packed with previous Emmy winners and nominees plus a handful looking for their first, this might be the toughest race of the year. Let’s take a look at the strongest contenders. The Returning Champ After seven Emmy nominations and no wins (six …

The first 10 minutes of episode one of season two of the Emmy-winning series are among the most harrowing I’ve ever seen on television. As Kate Bush’s “Woman’s Work” plays, discarded handmaids are led into a rundown Fenway Park to a scaffold of hangman’s nooses. “You shall feel the pain of his judgement, for that is his love” exclaims Aunt …

The 24th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are this Sunday, January 21st and here are my winner predictions in Film and Television. Between late screeners, coded screeners and DVD vs online-only, winning a SAG award, especially for film, can be tougher than you think. Studios pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get screeners out to the approximately 160,000 members …

  The future of TV is female. Every single winner of the top programs of the Emmys – Comedy Series, Drama Series, TV Movie and Limited Series – was a female-led show that also resulted in multiple acting and technical wins (from last week’s Creative Arts Emmys), giving us a ‘the future is female’ outcome that was realized at Emmys …

There hasn’t been a more up in air year in quite a while than in the Drama categories this year, Drama Series in particular. No less than five of the seven nominees are freshman shows and four of them (maybe all five) have a legitimate shot at the top prize. It’s ironic that the only two returning shows here, Better …
