Emmy nominations were announced today. I was going to do a rundown on the hot picks, buuuuuuut…… as I went through the lists, I realized that there are so many different channels and streams and everything that I can’t keep up. I have a dozen streaming services and still don’t know what half of these are. So, I’m just going to put the lists here, below, for you to go through.
I will tell you that I thin Andor should win best drama. Not because I’m a Star Wars nerd, but because it was so well written and acted. White Lotus and The Last Of Us are also up for Best Drama, but they’re such downers. Jenny and I started watching season 2 of The Last Of Us last night. After, I looked at here and said, that’s the only series that consistently makes every episode feel like 3 hours.
