The ending between Melfi and Tony was indeed powerful. Venom was practically dripping from her lips as she dug into him, and the way Tony completely validated her position by his reactions to her was equally brilliant.

Yes, her deadpan plays very well against Aukerman's more zany style of comedy to fantastic results.

I might have to cannibalize the voters for this insult.

This is the awards show where the Practice beat out not just the first season of the Sopranos for outstanding drama, but also the second. This is the show were ER was given outstanding drama over prime X-Files. This is the show where they awarded Big Bang Theory for literally anything.

Yeah but Modern Family has to win again so there's no more room.

I'm right there with you. Mad Mikkelsen deserves his place up on that roster.

I'll be the first to admit that I was not alive to see the fashion of the era, but you can find reams of paper and rolls of film detailing how painstakingly she assembled the outfits for the show. Not only with an eye towards the era, but also to reflect the characters themselves.

"Well, we made headlines having this show dethrone Mad Men during what was arguably Mad Men's finest season, so we MUST keep nominating it."

I think my agitation is that House of Cards is nominated year after year and lauded by many people when it's really just a mediocre convoluted mess that is boring more than it is entertaining. No one would watch it if it weren't for Kevin Spacey hamming it up and Robin Wright's too-good-for-this-show acting.

We could start going down a dark road here pretty quick. What is House of Cards doing up there? Or Homeland?

It wasn't eligible; it aired too late. I don't think it would have made a difference. Hannibal will always be the show we used and abused until it left us.

NBC wouldn't have pushed for it anyways. Too much effort. And it would be kind of embarrassing for it win awards after they unceremoniously shafted it this year.

I'd like to see a performance rival the range of emotion he displayed in that episode, from crying in that man's arms to realizing his family doesn't want him in their lives to his emotional goodbye to Peggy to his final look of peace on the cliff.

There's at least one scene in every season where he blows me completely out of the water in the role. I'm shocked he has been ignored this long.

Odenkirk has years ahead of him to win for Saul. This is Hamm's last go-around. He's done nothing but stellar work, but I'm afraid he will not get it. The Emmys have been down on Mad Men since Season 5 for some reason (even though that was one of the best).

Yes. Let's keep nominating House of Cards over shows that are leaps and bounds higher in quality.

That makes sense. Improv and being good with words is a big part of being a WWE super star.

The problem here is that Hannibal has nowhere near cultural impact of wide audience that those shows have. Unless this picks up a massive, and I mean massive, cult following over the next several years I don't think we'll be seeing it again.

It cost them money because it doesn't bring any money in. They could toss up a cheap reality show to that timeslot and pull in much more. NBC doesn't give a shit about prestige, if they did, they would have pushed harder for this show at the Emmys.
