Now that we've had 24 hours to think those Emmy nominations over (comedy & drama), Team Experience is sounding off on what most wounded them. Normally we are a positive bunch here at TFE but sometimes you gotta air out the grievances. Two questions this afternoon.
Which nomination most perplexes you?
Which snub makes you the most crazy?
Answers from the team after the jump. And do share your own after reading!
We're encouraging you to watch season 1 of Crazy Ex Girlfriend before the show returns in the fall. It's one of the best comedies on television and a musical, our most beloved entertainment genre. We previously covered the first two episodes so here's two more...
Both Rebeccas - the neuroses only multiplied with age
S1:E3 "I Hope Josh Comes To My Party"
In which Rebecca throws a housewarming party despite not knowing anyone in town and childhood trauma from party-throwing. Josh saves her from humiliation. Let's rank the crazy...
You know what's crazier than leaving a half a million salary in NYC to move to West Covina, California (2 hours from the beach! - 4 in traffic) on the off chance your ex boyfriend from teen summer camp might be interested in reviving your fling as an adult? Not much. But it is crazy that The Film Experience didn't adopt Crazy Ex Girlfriend in the way it adopted Smash since musicals are kind of our thing (well, one of our things). Over the past two weeks I accidentally ended up rewatching the first five episodes again with friends who hadn't seen them so they're fresh in mind. So with Season 1 now on Netflix, let's catch up before Season 2 arrives in October.
S1:E1 "Josh Just Happens to Live Here!"
In which Rebecca randomly spots her first love in the street and takes it as a sign that she should follow him to West Covina, California, leaving her entire successful New York City life behind. Let's rank the crazy...
Greg: Yes, like a date because you're pretty and you're smart and you're ignoring me so you're obviously my type. Rebecca: I'm sorry what were you saying? Greg: Perfect.
Relatably Foolish (Or as Norman likes to say 'We all go a little mad sometimes') Greg, a bartender, falls hard for Rachel at first sight when she barely looks at him, and talks incessantly about his friend Josh...
The quickest thing you learn once you become obsessed with awards is that they never end; someone is always handing out prizes for something. And since the eligibility periods are different for everything it takes forever for a single year's entertainment to finally be "old" aka ineligible. Such is the case with 2010 entertainment (mostly the second half of it) which is still eligible for Emmy nods (July 14th), Tony nods (May 3rd)... and The Hugo Awards, which are science fiction based, and newly announced today.
BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION – LONG Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 How to Train Your Dragon Inception Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Toy Story 3
Inception and Toy Story 3 can breathe a sigh of relief that The King's Speech featured neither threatening alien invaders (Wallis Simpson does not count) nor superpowered heroes (Helena Bonham Carter does not count, her super powers being off screen).
BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION – SHORT Doctor Who: ‘‘A Christmas Carol'' Doctor Who: ‘‘The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang'' Doctor Who: ‘‘Vincent and the Doctor'' Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury The Lost Thing
I've embedded this "Ray Bradbury" vid once before on the old blog but it made me LOL so here it is again. With Doctor Who cancelling itself out (one assumes) Will The Lost Thing, the animated short, repeat its Oscar win at the Hugos?
