^ Amen

[stereoman]

The things that various networks & streaming services are doing to campaign for their TV shows during this year's Emmys race.

http://variety.com/2018/tv/awards/emmys-...202816163/

[stereoman]

THR going for a similar angle as to what campaigns are happening but have a 4 minute video on it.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/...hr-1117069

"Family Guy" taking credit for 'predicting' Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein so guess who's next!? They probably know no-one will vote for them, ever since that random Outstanding Comedy Series nomination & being the first animated series to do so, so simply don't care now.

"Barry" has an exclusive phone number you can call for acting advice. "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel" has given out business cards.

[pvdk]

They'd do a separate tribute for Bourdain right

[NUguy514]

I can’t imagine why.

[malcolm1980]

Emmy ballots are here.

Emmy voting begins today. I will be looking over the ballots and revising my predictions accordingly!

[GGPartition]

Anthony Hopkins is submitted in supporting for Westworld, and considering the last couple of episodes, I believe he's in.

TBS probably would have had an easy nominee if they had placed Tiffany Haddish in supporting for The Last O.G. instead of lead but whoever is running their awards campaigns has no fucking clue what they're doing.

[misplaced validity]

I’m seeing some predictions for Freddie Highmore to get in Drama Actor. I’m not criticizing his current show as I’ve only seen 1-2 episodes, but it’s such a great injustice he never got in for Bates Motel...and is now in the conversation because of a CBS procedural.

[dws1982]

It's actually on ABC, but I agree otherwise. He absolutely does not deserve to be nominated for The Good Doctor. I think he's actually really bad on The Good Doctor. I can think of at least twenty actors I would nominate ahead of him, and I haven't even watched anything close to everything in contention.
