They did:

Was "The Crown" eligible? Because episodes 2 and 9 were incredibly well directed.

"FX should just let Archer go. All they're doing now is referencing things they've already referenced in the past."

Of course, if a dude tried to deflect criticism of an offensive joke by saying it was part of a persona or "character", people would accept it without a second thought. He wouldn't even have to be apologetic about it.

Ah. My bad!

That Patrick Stewart failed to even get a token Golden Globe nomination for this show shows how much of a nonentity it was.

USA did something like that, too. They'd start out a commercial for a crime show marathon and then Rosalita would interrupt it with her Lady Gaga schtick.

Bah… what does the internet know? Brilliant is brilliant, and John Lithgow was brilliant.

John Lithgow, too

Don't forget architects!

"Thirsty" is the only Oscar coverage more obnoxious and condescending than "baity".

More people should be watching this show. It pulls off the tricky task of making a slave story slick and exciting without trivializing or sanitizing it. Big props to Anthony Hemmingway for that. And the performances from Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge, and especially Alano Miller are terrific.

According to the Twitter feed of this guy who has read the script it's… Not good

Well, I've read both of the Mister Rogers screenplays and one of them (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) was absolutely horrid. Fred Rogers is portrayed as having some sort of aspergers-type mental disorder, he sleeps with Lady Aberlin, occasionally runs into a Scottish hobo who can't stop masturbating…

Pairs of biopics seem to be something of a tradition for the Black List. Previous lists had two Mister Rogers biopics, two movies about the making of Jaws, two about the making of The Godfather…

It's kind of amusing that of the two Stephen King biopics on the Black List (Black List biopics often seem to come in twos), one is about King fighting his addictions and this one sounds like it's meant to be a drugged-up extravaganza.

I think the AV Club wants to APPEAR to be edgy.

Yeah, it was "Apes can be dicks, too, especially if humans were dicks to them, first".

I like the trajectory of this series

The primary reason Kirkman is labelled an "independent" is that ABC doesn't want to alienate '24' fans by explicitly calling him a liberal, even though that's clearly what he is.
