I can’t watch it as I have to work, but hoping that The Leftovers rakes in some wins. Wonderful actors and wonderful show. I hope they get Emmy nods too.
Interesting that Inside the Actors Studio is considered a reality show and not a talk show.
I was just going to post the same thing don’t understand it at all
Ditto!
Their nominees make them EONS better than the Globes or the Oscars, and that’s before they even give out the awards.
Yay Constance Zimmer, Rachel Bloom, Idris Elba, and Christian Slater! And Timothy Olyphant was hilarious on The Grinder.
Cant believe Survivor lost to that very boring The Voice season
Eden Sher was robbed. Eden Sher is always robbed.
I agree. But at least Maylm Blalik was my second choice…but a distant second.
This is what the oscars should look like with the diversity. I think ahs should of had more nominations
Though the movie nominees for Best and Supporting Actor and Actress were just as lily white as the Oscars! Fortunately, TV does a better job of presenting diversity than the movies.
It’s almost as if merit was the deciding factor in the movie categories instead of race; and that is why several award’s bodies, including ones who have the “diversity” you are looking for, keep picking the same people and movies.
I have a dream that actors and actresses will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their work.
Yet it appears you proponents of diversity have a dream where actors and actresses are honored based on whether the arbitrary percentage given to their race has yet to be reached.
Allison Janney didn’t win? What?! Mayim is funny, but Allison is way funnier, in my opinion. Please don’t hate me.
Allison has a shelf full of big awards. Eden Sher is the one in that category who got robbed! And by the way, I’m a big fan of both Allison and Maylm.
Excellent that Outlander won the most binge-worthy show!
I think that was just a joke. More of a “people’s choice ” style category. Just an opportunity for William Shatner to be self indulgent. But I agree it’s the most binge worthy.
Matt I just wanted to let you know that under the category of Best Director it says Max Max instead of Mad Max.
Oops. That’s probably the sequel.
The CCAs further prove they are the most accurate when it comes to both nominees and winners.
Patti Lupone loses to Margo?WTH!Most of the winners I agree with though.
And Plemmons over Bookeem Woodbine,um,no!
The breakfast king of Loyola should of won.
I’m just glad Fargo got so much love here, but you are right. Mike Milligan was absolutely compelling to watch on Fargo. But I’m glad to see so many of the actors nominated and winning at the critics choice. Fargo was by far the best show last year for me.
Margo is pretty awesome in her role as Ruth on The Good Wife. Not saying that Patti LuPone isn’t amazing.
You mean Lady Gaga didn’t win? The outrage!
Hayden and Jonathan def deserve an award!
What a wonderful difference it makes when people actually watch the product being awarded. I hope these awards continue to gain importance and noteriaty.
yea! for J
ean Smart’s win well deserved
Funny how the critics picked mostly white actors?
That’s what happens when you have a film industry that creates few decent roles for minority actors. There are generally more good performances from white actors than there are from actors who weren’t given a chance to shine. Don’t blame the critics or the other award shows, blame the film industry as a whole.
So happy for Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Kirsten Dunst and all the other Fargo wins. Wish Gina Rodriguez had won over Rachel Bloom though.
Happy Mr.Robot, Fargo, Aziz, Andre, and Constance won!
Haven’t heard of most of these programs, and never watch the others…
So happy for the Fargo love, especially Kirsten Dunst. Golden Globe voters should be ashamed of themselves for giving the award to Lady Gaga instead.
The list seemed to be a small number of critics’ personal favorites and not much variety as far as programs or actors who were nominated. I missed seeing anything for the series or actors for Vikings, The Americans, The Black List, Quantico, and several others.
