FINALLY, YASSS!

I hear you.
Related to nomination swap choices — I wish Carrie Coon were nominated for The Leftovers rather than for Fargo

Emmy nom for Lena Waithe who co-wrote " Thanksgiving" episode of Master of None , y'all. Thank you writers of the Television Academy for paying attention, watching, and voting for path-breaking scripts and vote.

THANK you for the heads up! I'll have to get the PDF of the complete list from the Emmy website. Alison Wright!!! fuckyeahMarthaHanson!!!!

Yay, Ann Dowd.
Honesty, I won't be upset if Ann Dowd takes it over Alison Wright. Dowd, like Margo Martindale before her, worked her ass off for years in this industry… was the indie COMPLIANCE when more visiblity thats she's deserved finally happened for her.

Ugh. This perennial nomination — Kevin Spacey for House of Cards — is more torturous than Liev Schreiber for Ray Donavon and William Macy for Shameless.

Where is the Outstanding Guest Actor and Actresses list?

My question has to do with Dr. Gloria Nathan (Luna Lauren Velez)
she's a women character in OZ often ommitted in retrospectives. The way Riley (Dean Winters) chased after Gloria —- We know . he needed Gloria to help his brohtther; then but he flirted with her. I can't recall if the show insinuated that Gloria had…

I'm with you on. Medical doctors and other scientists have tried out experimental meds and tested criminality theories on prison inmates bodies for as long as prisons have existed. Prison inmaters are captive bodies, scientific fodder to test and discard. Even if this plot line were not inspired by an actual…

This F.O.C. essay notes cast w formidable theater ties, e.g., Eamonn Walker and Terry Kinney (SteppenWolff co-founder). Augustus' monologues often sparked my curiosity about Fontane's writers room. Did he seek out playwrights, short story writers ?

Wow, @bros, you are really going to make a sweeping claim about "the average American"?

What a fantastic match — James Baldwin's tragic romance of young lovers Tish and Fonny paired with Barry Jenkin's cinematographic direction. Jenkins will tease out this story told by a novel's heroine who speaks least in her family. Tish isn't melancholic, so I doubt we'll see redux of Moonlight's sadness. …

Retta's last name is SIRLEAF .
Know who else has this distinctive last name?
Retta's aunt, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia , a sizeable African country. Oh, and President Sirleaf won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011

I'm bereft. What an astounding, versatile talent he was! After the shock to hear Nelsan Ellis died so very young, a wave of melancholy struck me to think of all the roles Ellis won't play. Kinky Boots on Broadway someday. Or a role on a future Netflixn Hulu, Cinemax, OWN or _____ series that allows actors known for…

Beautiful, apt insight into why Ellis's take on Lafayette is so beloved. Unapologetic is all I'd add to "fearlessly outré" — It's implicit in Fuck respectability, but I know it's the lesson Lafayette taught me.

External factors such as stress on the heart over many many YEARS can create or exacerbate health conditions, which left untreated do contribute to early death in Black Americans. When I read that Ellis grew up in foster care and supported himself thru college, Juilliard, and had a large family for which he…

I laughed but God knows in my heart :
(1.) I don't jest about Logue's missing daughter;;
(2.) I loved Terriors.
(3). I bet Michael Raymond-James would volunteer all he could to help, doesn't matter that Terriers ended close to 10 years ago and
(4) Logue's sister Karina played his schizophrenic sister Steph on…

"Unabashed Sincerity of Bash" , FTW!! No sarcasm. really. Love it and Bash, unabashedly.

Echo -@-Swinton. Don't go. Or if you go to pursue a better, higher paying writing opportunity, please point us to where you're headed next!

Thank you, thank you for this rec! I've been reading James Baldwin's later essays, to follow up on viewing the documentary I Am Not Your Negro (dir. Raoul Peck, 2016) . Baldwin references how Harlem's black communities were terrified of the police. He speaks often of the 1964 Harlem Riots, and a teen boy's death…
