Mess, once again. The sooner these get away from ABC and onto a streaming service the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Netflix finally won their first Emmy series win this year (and two at that). Doubt that has an impact on Power of the Dog's chances of winning, but maaaaaaybe the Netflix stigma is slowly going away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this in the other thread but streaming has been pretty much accepted as the only future for good television for a while now. Don't think the way Emmys are voted for will have much (if any) correlation with the Oscars, especially when everything had to go streaming last year out of necessity and the "we have to preserve the theatrical experience" sentiment might be even more alive now than it was pre-COVID.

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Whatever issues the Emmys have, they manage to have a host and present more categories on the main telecast in just over 3 hours (28, to be exact). They even threw a lifetime achievement/honorary award in there! I'm not sure what the Oscars' problem is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And wouldn't it be funny if, the year they are determined not to focus on the nominees, a bunch of fairly popular people/stuff ends up winning: Dune, Will Smith, Gaga, Meryl, Bradley Cooper, Beyonce. I'm guessing the show plans depend on the nominees. They are making a big mistake playing to the loudmouth cranks who say they "don't care" about award shows, but can't stop weighing in on how they should go.

That's why each year they only become more transparent in their desperation to put together the most everything-for-everyone ceremony ever (and how we end up with lame bits like Jimmy Kimmel and a gaggle of celebrities hijacking a movie screening next door to fill time).

WrathOfHan Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Macbeth is coming The sound design is getting good callouts in reviews as well. It might have a chance at 10 nominations including the big 5 if McDormand stays lead Edited September 24, 2021 by WrathOfHan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Turns out the "Macbeth got rejected from Venice" story was complete and utter horseshit. Probably bodes well for Blonde next year too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bodes well for Blonde next year too. I think that story is still true. One of the sources who someone who literally knew the programmers. Could just be one of those films that Americans like a lot more than Europeans. I mean we have had practically no reviews from the European press so far.

Cmasterclay Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 They put divisive things like Lost Daughter and Last Night in Soho and middling stuff like The Last Duel and Halloween Kills, I'm pretty sure they weren't going to reject a Coens directed Denzel starring Macbeth movie that is good enough to get 5/5 reviews from almost every publication. But we shall never really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the timeliness of Vice (a takedown of a rotten republican presidential era from not so long ago while we were living another rotten republican presidential era) is why it was considered a major frontrunner (until it was seen) the whole year long (and perhaps what resulted in it maxing out its nomination potential despite all the hurdles it ended up facing). Not sensing the same kind of buzz for Don't Look Up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
