CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

July 12, 2022 JMG Community, Open Thread

Variety reports:

For the first time in memory, the Television Academy announced this year’s Primetime Emmys nominees without an acknowledgement of which network or platform leads the list. That left programmers like HBO and Netflix scrambling to count their nominations in the quest for this year’s bragging rights.

Instead, the TV Academy argues that the shows are the thing, and to that end, the tally was clear: “Succession” was the most-nominated program of 2022, earning 25 nods — including outstanding drama.

That was followed by “Ted Lasso” with 20 nominations (including best comedy, tying its total from last year) and then “The White Lotus,” the most-recognized limited series with 20.

Reuters reports:



Netflix sci-fi hit “Stranger Things,”and HBO’s “Euphoria,” about teens navigating sex, drugs and social media, also were nominated for the drama trophy at television’s highest honors.

Feel-good series “Ted Lasso” will defend its title as best comedy,one of the show’s 20 nominations. The fish-out-of-water story from Apple TV+ will compete against “Hacks,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” among others.

Contenders for best comedy actress include Rachel Brosnahan for her role as a 1950s housewife and comedian on “Mrs. Maisel,” along with Issa Rae of “Insecure” and “Hacks” star Jean Smart.
