[topmeasure]

I completely agree with you on every category with one exception, best supporting actor in a dram series, where is Michael McKean, I think he's much more deserving of a nomination than Jonathan Banks.

Michael McKean is a great actor..man Just for Spinal tap he's in the History books.

That being said maybe both could be nominated.

I feel there are a bunch of "no one cares" nominations in like, every field.
Very disppointed on these nominations.

Espcially no love for those 4 great tv shows and I know I'm missing some other shows as well
The Letfovers, The Americans, Vikings, Game of Thrones.

Even Humans deserves more. No Orphan Black? No The OA.

[chouette]

As long as Fargo wins some of these, I’m good. I don’t watch any of the nominated comedies, although to be honest, I don't watch that many either, so I don’t really care. Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors??? What??? And like Tamas said, there are better (or as good) actors and actresses that were not nominated in these series. I watch a lot of TV Series, and some of those I don’t even know. And yeah, no GOT? It’s a bunch of crap if you ask me, lol

[ctaulbee]

I honestly have no opinion on any of it as I rarely watch TV shows, by example I have seen none of these not even one episode.

I know right? Where did they get those? I only know a few because I was asked to make covers for them. Obviously, they should have consulted us before making these nominations... geeze! lol

You're missing out on some great shows man. Like master of None, Silicon valley are amazing and they're just 20 minute episodes. You bingewatch that in like 3 hours.

Stranger Things for example is like Et meets a horror movie. It's amazing.

Ctaulbee have you watched The Leftovers, The Americans, Vikings and Game of Thrones?

[ctaulbee]

I never miss Game of Thrones, I've seen the first two seasons of Viking, I said I "rarely" watch TV programming not that I never do...

[Fogdude]

I never miss Game of Thrones, I've seen the first two seasons of Viking, I said I "rarely" watch TV programming not that I never do...

Don't forget The Vampire Diaries & The Originals, which you steered me & the wife into. (Or didn't you want to be so public about those?)

[ctaulbee]

He did not ask about those, it was a focused response...

[alienmem]

You have to watch the Leftovers man.


It should be a crimminal offense not to watch it. It is that good.


Has anyone been watching the new Twin Peaks show? I wanna wait til it's ova

[chouette]

...it was a focused response...

[chouette]

Like master of None, Silicon valley are amazing...

It's so, so obvious that you and I don't have the same taste Alien, lol

[Fogdude]

No offense, Alien, but I actually count on your posts to tell me what to avoid. We are diametrically opposite in taste. I don't say that to berate or insult. But, when you rave about something, I know, right away, that it's nothing I want to spend any time looking at. It's the same with my son. You two would probably get along great.

Well you guys are old people. I'm still realtively young so there's a big age gap...makes total sense

I love tits and blood on the screen. You probably don't.

[alienmem]

You're son is the man!!! better yet if you has a daughter!!!


Fog and Chou

I have to tell you the films that I loathe then...You might like them and vice versa

The films you hate I'll probably love.  

[chouette]

I doubt it has anything with age Alien (we're old hey? lol)

My oldest son, who is probably close to your age, likes everything I do. But it's completely the opposite with my youngest son. When he raves a movie like you do, I know I won't like it. Same goes when he thinks a movie is crap, I run to the store to buy it! lol

They are only a couple of years apart, but very, very different in tastes when it comes to movies or TV Series. It's all about taste, it's not even how you were raised, or age related.

As for nude women, you are right that I wouldn't like it, but I'm sure that both my boys would LOVE it! LOL

Again, nothing to do with age, but being males. With that said, hubby would probably put aside sports for nude women on a screen TV as well.
