Here Are Your Nominees For The 2020 Emmy Awards

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Anthony Anderson, Black-ish
Don Cheadle, Black Monday
Ted Danson, The Good Place
Michael Douglas, The Kominsky Method
Eugene Levy, Schitt’s Creek
Ramy Youssef, Ramy

Anderson or Cheadle. I don’t watch either, so I can’t decide deeper than that.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Christina Applegate, Dead to Me
Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Linda Cardellini, Dead to Me
Catherine O’Hara, Schitt’s Creek
Issa Rae, Insecure
Traces Ellis Ross, Black-ish

Rae or Ross. Don’t watch either.

Outstanding Variety Talk Series
The Daily Show
Full Frontal
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Last Week Tonight
The Late Show

All are properly anti-right, so this is a toss up. Full Frontal is a woman and extra vulgar against Trump, so I will give that the edge.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Jason Bateman, Ozark
Sterling K Brown, This Is Us
Steve Carell, The Morning Show
Brian Cox, Succession
Billy Porter, Pose
Jeremy Strong, Succession

Brown or Porter. I will edge towards Porter. I only watch This is Us, but Porter is “extra brave”, so you gotta admire him (right?).

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series
Jennifer Aniston, The Morning Show
Olivia Colman, The Crown
Jodie Comer, Killing Eve
Laura Linney, Ozark
Sandra Oh, Killing Eve
Zendaya, Euphoria

Zendaya. Don’t watch.

Outstanding Competition Program
The Masked Singer
Nailed It!
RuPaul’s Drag Race
Top Chef
The Voice

RuPaul. Don’t watch. Really! I don’t! Seriously! Never seen it! Never!

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Series Or Movie
Jeremy Irons, Watchmen
Hugh Jackman, Bad Education
Paul Mescal, Normal People
Jeremy Pope, Hollywood
Mark Ruffalo, I Know This Much Is True

Invalid category. No viable nominees.

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie
Cate Blanchett, Mrs. America
Shira Haas, Unorthodox
Regina King, Watchmen

King, Spencer or Washington. Likely King.

Outstanding Limited Series
Little Fires Everywhere
Mrs. America

Watchmen

Outstanding Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dead to Me
SNL
Insecure
The Kominsky Method
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Schitt’s Creek
What We Do in the Shadows

SNL or Insecure. While SNL carries the water, Insecure is REAL.

Outstanding Drama Series
Better Call Saul
The Crown
The Handmaid’s Tale
Killing Eve
The Mandalorian
Ozark
Stranger Things
Succession

Handmaids Tale.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Giancarlo Esposito, Better Call Saul
Bradley Whitford, The Handmaid’s Tale
Billy Crudup, The Morning Show
Mark Duplass, The Morning Show
Nicholas Braun, Succession
Kieran Culkin, Succession
Matthew Macfadyen, Succession
Jeffrey Wright, Westworld

Esposito or Wright. Wright gets the nod.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Laura Dern, Big Little Lies
Meryl Streep, Big Little Lies
Helena Bonham Carter, The Crown
Samira Wiley, The Handmaid’s Tale
Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve
Julia Garner, Ozark
Sarah Snook, Succession
Thandie Newton, Westworld

Wiley or Newton. Wiley played a lesbian in prison in another show, so she gets the nod here.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
William Jackson Harper, The Good Place
Alan Arkin, The Kominsky Method
Sterling K. Brown, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Tony Shalhoub, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Mahershala Ali, Ramy
Kenan Thompson, SNL
Daniel Levy, Schitt’s Creek

So much TALENT here. Impossible to guess. Finally a fully legit nomination class.

I will go with Brown here. He had extra struggle.

D’Arcy Carden,
Yvonne Orji, Insecure
Alex Borstein, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Marin Hinkle, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Kate McKinnon, SNL
Cecily Strong, SNL
Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek

Borstein PLAYS a lesbian. McKinnon IS a lesbian. Does that equate to Borstein wearing pink face? McKinnon gets the nod.

David West Read, Schitt’s Creek
Sam Johnson, Chris Marcil, What We Do In The Shadows

I don't watch enough TV to really have a take on this. I need to still finish the Watchmen but I don't remember the acting being a high point. The Crown was better than Stranger Things. Jimmy Kimmel is on the top of his game. I'll watch anything with Anthony Anderson. I need to catch up on Ozark.

Watchmen should get best actress in a limited series and would be my pick for best limited series. It was damn good and Regina King killed it.

 

[DragonfromTO]

No nomination for Tom Pelphrey for "Ozark" doesn't surprise me I guess but damn, how'd they'd miss that?

I do remember really liking episode 5 but I haven't gotten around to finishing it. HBO shows are just slow these days and its just something that I need to factor in when I'm sitting down. I think I've gotten to used to binge watching.

Yep...the supporting actor category was stacked this year and had a number of other snubs (ie., Mike and Lalo from Better Call Saul), but Ben was easily the best character in Ozark S3 and deserved a nod.
