Go Go BrBa

 

[John Locke]

As happy as I am with Cranston's win, part of me would've enjoyed seeing McConaughey get it just to thoroughly shatter any notion that there needs to be a diving line between TV and film actors. An Emmy and an Academy Award in the very same year would do that.

McConaughey did an interview during the pre show where he said that the diving line doesn't exist anymore. The interviewer even called TV a step down and McConaughey disagreed with him.

Yeah, but I feel like a win for him would've set that in stone.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

there still the golden globe and it will be more or less the same shows nominated plus some new ones from fall 2014

 

[WorthyStevens]

If an actress like Kathy Bates can agree to appear on Two and a Half Micro-Laughs, of her own free will, then anything's possible.

 

[antsman41]

Plus, most good-great films all star 'tv show' actors these days... I love it.

 

[Supernova]

anyone else think the robin williams tribute was weak? sure crystals stories were gold but the video clips and the way it suddenly ended were weak.

Maybe cause it was a suicide? who knows but I enjoyed the last bit when it went to black and Crystal is always gold

I thought McC should have won for TD I love Cranston but he already has 4

taking the suicide out of it which you do in most cases and concentrate on the career of the actor, it was weak. I expected something that was 3-4 minutes with his best roles and ending it with a line of dialogue from one if his movies and fading to black. Lets be honest he was the biggest loss of the year so far.

Matthew will be fine regardless its just he and every other show and actor that went against breaking bad picked the year it had its finale.

 

[Prison Mike]

Yeah, I expected something more for the Williams tribute. But then I thought it wouldn't be fair to all the other people in the memoriam who didn't get something separate.

and a phenomenal finale at that

 

[Prison Mike]

Now that Breaking Bad is over, I'm hoping the Emmys will show some love for Mad Men at least for the actors. Jon Hamm deserves an Emmy and next year will be the last time for Mad Men I think.

 

[Kane52630]

It's also the last year for Boardwalk Empire....they better show some love.

 

[Prison Mike]

That's another show I need to start watching. I'm still in the middle of The Wire.

 

[vanson]

so I guess the gamble from true detective to not go into the mini series category didnt pay off.. they would've dominated those shows..

 

[RoboAmish]

I like TD and all (moreso the first half of the season than the second half but it's all good) but BB deserves everything it got. Those last eight episodes were some next level s**t.

Bottom line is TD should have been submitted as a miniseries, not a drama.

Agreed. Not that the miniseries category wasn't full of strong competition this year or anything, but it would have cleaned up there. It was always a gamble by HBO to submit it for the Best Drama category and it blew up in their faces, unfortunately.

MAJOR changes to some of the Emmy categories:

The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is making some dramatic changes to the Emmy rulebook — and hourlong “comedies” such as Orange Is the New Black and Shameless stand to be the most affected.

Among the major tweaks announced Friday: a comedy series will now be defined as a program that clocks in at 30 minutes or less, and the drama and comedy categories will now include seven nominees, up from six.

Additionally, the Miniseries category has been renamed Limited Series, now defined as a “complete, non-recurring story” told in at least two episodes totaling at least 150 minutes. Further, a Limited Series must feature “no ongoing story lines or main characters” in any subsequent seasons. (In turn, Drama and Comedy series are defined as telling ongoing stories in runs of at least six episodes.)

To qualify for a Guest Actor nomination, a performer must appear in less than 50 percent of a program’s episodes.

Lastly, the Variety Series category has been split in two: Variety Talk (to be handed out during the big show) and Variety Sketch (to be awarded at the Creative Arts ceremony).

Per Academy officials, if producers of say, Jane the Virgin, make a strong enough case that the show belongs in the comedy category versus drama, an exception can be made.

The 2015 Emmy ceremony will air live Sunday, Sept. 20 on Fox.

I really don't get why comedy has to be 30 minutes or less.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I like some of these changes (like how the hell do you justify Uzo Aduba as a "guest" actress when she's a major part of almost every episode?), but the cut and dry nature of comedy vs drama does seen odd. For example, I don't think anything would argue that Psych would be a drama instead of a comedy, and it was an hour long show for it's entire run.

 

[MadVillainy]

I guess the changes are fine.
I dont really have a problem with them. SOme of them do make sense

 

[Sawyer]

None of this makes a damn bit of difference to me. They'll still make the same s***ty choices as they always do. Look forward to another Jim Parsons win, y'all.
