It’s that time of year where the entertainment industry starts handing out awards like candy and that means two things, darlings. Arguing about the nominations and judging the promotional poledance fashion. Let’s see how your faves and not-so faves did.

 

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
MAHERSHALA ALI / Wayne Hays – “TRUE DETECTIVE”
RUSSELL CROWE / Roger Ailes – “THE LOUDEST VOICE”
JARED HARRIS / Valery Legasov – “CHERNOBYL”
JHARREL JEROME / Korey Wise – “WHEN THEY SEE US”
SAM ROCKWELL / Bob Fosse – “FOSSE/VERDON”

 

Jared Harris, dammit!

 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
PATRICIA ARQUETTE / Dee Dee Blanchard – “THE ACT”
TONI COLLETTE / Det. Grace Rasmussen – “UNBELIEVABLE”
JOEY KING / Gypsy Rose Blanchard – “THE ACT”
EMILY WATSON / Ulana Khomyuk – “CHERNOBYL”
MICHELLE WILLIAMS / Gwen Verdon – “FOSSE/VERDON”

Michelle Williams, dammit!

 

 

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series
STERLING K. BROWN / Randall Pearson – “THIS IS US”
STEVE CARELL / Mitch Kessler – “THE MORNING SHOW”
BILLY CRUDUP / Corey Ellison – “THE MORNING SHOW”
PETER DINKLAGE / Tyrion Lannister – “GAME OF THRONES”
DAVID HARBOUR / Jim Hopper – “STRANGER THINGS”

David Harbour, no dammit. It was more of a “process of elimination” thing.

 

 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series
JENNIFER ANISTON / Alex Levy – “THE MORNING SHOW”
HELENA BONHAM CARTER / Princess Margaret – “THE CROWN”
OLIVIA COLMAN / Queen Elizabeth II – “THE CROWN”
JODIE COMER /Villanelle – “KILLING EVE”
ELISABETH MOSS / Offred/June – “THE HANDMAID’S TALE”

We enjoyed Colman and HBC in this season of The Crown, but we’re not sure either work was award-worthy. Honestly? Even though we’ve never seen the show, we’re kind of rooting for Jennifer Aniston. It’s time for her to move into the “industry recognition” phase of her career and pick up some awards for herself.

 

 

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series
ALAN ARKIN / Norman Newlander – “THE KOMINSKY METHOD”
MICHAEL DOUGLAS / Sandy Kominsky – “THE KOMINSKY METHOD”
BILL HADER / Barry – “BARRY”
ANDREW SCOTT / The Priest – “FLEABAG”
TONY SHALHOUB / Abe Weissman – “THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL”

 

Andrew Scott. We just rewatched Fleabag and he gives a charming and heartbreaking performance.

 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE / Jen Harding – “DEAD TO ME”
ALEX BORSTEIN / Susie Myerson – “THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL”
RACHEL BROSNAHAN / Midge Maisel – “THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL”
CATHERINE O’HARA / Moira Rose – “SCHITT’S CREEK”
PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE / Fleabag – “FLEABAG”

CATHERINE O’HARA GODDAMMIT!

 

 

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
“BIG LITTLE LIES”
“THE CROWN”
“GAME OF THRONES”
“THE HANDMAID’S TALE”
“STRANGER THINGS”

Hmm. This one’s tough. Maybe because we’re underwhelmed by all the choices.

 

 

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series
“BARRY”
“FLEABAG”
“THE KOMINSKY METHOD”
“THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL”
“SCHITT’S CREEK”

SCHITT’S CREEK OR WE BURN THIS MOTHER DOWN.

 

 

Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Comedy or Drama Series
“GAME OF THRONES”
“GLOW”
“STRANGER THINGS”
“THE WALKING DEAD”
“WATCHMEN”

Gotta give it up for the GLOW gals.
