If you follow me on Twitter you may have already seen these but I've shared all my ballots for TV acting as it's the only thing I have energy for today. Tough week for the world so honoring comedy seems emotionally right, laughter being the best medicine. Otherwise today is a mental health day break from blogging.
Trust me when I tell you that I had to leave out a ton of people I love. But unlike Emmy I move on if a performance doesn't continue evolving (even if I still love it just as much) and I also move on if, in my personal fantasy ballots each year, I feel like I've amply awarded that actor for that character already. Even if they continue to excel. Rare is the case when I would nominate the same actor over and over again from a strong ensemble show as most performances as well as most shows have peaks and valleys when it comes to various characters.
My ballots are after the jump... Share yours in the comments!
winner: Jeffrey Tambor, Transparent
Winner: Sutton Foster, Younger
Note: I left out Julia Louis-Dreyfus only because I believe there ought to be a cap on how many awards you can receive for a single character. She's brilliant but four in a row is more than enough for any actor playing the same character. I'd actually cap it at 3. With hundreds and hundreds of programs and thousands of gifted actors it's just not right to not share the wealth.
Winner: Andrew Rannells, Girls
Winner: Amy Landecker, Transparent
Winner: David Wain, Younger
Winner: Anna Camp, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
