 This is the SF Productions podcast network Nominations are in not so fast broadcast networks from the pop culture bunker and indeed and I'm Mark You can check out our audio podcast how I got my way three comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast network comm Well, as I've said the nominees are in for the television Academy Awards aka the Emmys Of course the broadcast networks are losing more and more ground if not for this is us They would have been cut out for best drama and only blackish and modern family made it to best comedy Out of the 26 best actress and actor nominations only six came from broadcast shows. So Pretty soon. It's not going to be the television awards anymore Nobody, you know half the stuff is not watched on television, right? And you have to wonder how much longer the broadcast networks are going to want to do what is essentially a three-hour ad for their competition. Yes SNL and Westworld tied for the most nominations with 22 although I call shenanigans with SNL As far as platforms, they're now calling them HBO got 110 nominations 90 Netflix got 91 up from 54 last year NBC got 60 FX got 54 ABC 34 CBS 29 Fox 21 Hulu 18 up from two Amazon 16 Nat Geo 15 showtime 15 AMC 11 down from 24 and PBS 11 down from 26. So there were none for the CW Yeah, amazingly not And there are a few unofficial rules. We talk about these a lot They split vote. So if two actors from the same show or in the same category That does not bode well. Yes the dead zone, which will definitely be calling on the dead zone in this year Yes, a dead actor is virtually guaranteed as a lock and the final season lock Meaning the last season of a show is their last chance to give it a shot. Yeah, and they tend to win Here are major nominations and our predictions now what's interesting is we did this separately on our production predictions and We ended up matching on most of the shows even though we probably don't watch In the category for best drama series the nominees are Better call Saul from AMC the crown from Netflix the handmaiden's tale from Hulu House of cards from Netflix stranger things from Netflix. This is us from NBC Westworld from HBO in 2016 Game of Thrones one and it's not even nominated right so it does. There's no carry over here Both of us picked the handmaid's tale. Yes, it's just been getting so much buzz and because of the current political environment I think it's gonna win. I think so comedy series Atlanta FX blackish ABC master of none Netflix modern family ABC Silicon Valley HBO unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Netflix. So VP HBO VP won last year. It's been winning most years. We both think it's gonna win again It's gonna have that carry over vote and some of the other things are just a little too out there I think for right. Yeah, so for drama actress the nominees are Viola Davis from how to get away with murder Claire Foy from the crown Elizabeth Moss from the handmaid's tale carry Russell from the Americans Evan Rachel Wood from Westworld Robin Wright from House of Cards and in 2016 Tatiana Maslani won for orphan black again not nominated this year Both of us said Elizabeth Moss the handmaid's tale same things apply from best drama, right? Best actor in a drama Sterling K. Brown. This is us Anthony Hopkins Westworld Bob Odin Kirk better call Saul Matthew Reeves the Americans Leave Schreiber Ray Donovan Kevin Spacey House of Cards Milo Ventimigla is that I've butchered that this is us Last year. It was Romney Malek for mr. Robot. So again, no carryover We've both picked Sterling K. Brown Right This is the I think this is the one they throw to the networks. Yes. Yeah, I think you're right We gotta pick some somebody from the networks has to win. Who are we gonna pick? Otherwise, they're gonna stop showing the image there. Yeah Comedy actor Anthony Anderson from blackish Aziz Ansari from master of none Zach Galifianakis from baskets Donald Glover from Atlanta William H. Macy shameless and Jeffrey Tambor for transparent who also won in 2016 We kind of ignored that in this category though and both of us picked Donald Glover for Atlanta because I think a lot of buzz for that show And Donald Glover is generally getting a huge amount of buzz. So I think that's that's that's gonna happen Comedy actress Pamela Adlin from better things Tracy Ellis Ross blackish Jane Fonda for Grayson Frankie Lily Tomlin Grayson Frankie Split vote Allison Janney for mom Ellie Kemper from breakable Kimmy Schmidt and Julie Louis dry fist for Veep and of course she won last year I think my opinion is she's gonna win this year But you I picked Tracy Ellis Ross. I think She might win. I don't know. This was a hard one for me. I think you know Julia Louis dry fist has won so much They might have a backlash for it or they might not. I don't know Limited series big little lies on HBO Fargo on FX feud Betty and Joan on FX the night of on HBO Genius from Nat Geo and in 2016 the winner of this was people versus O.J. Simpson I'm gonna go with big little lies and I think you're picking that one same same as well It's gotten a lot of buzz and has a lot of big movie stars Which is a big thing because they want to get the movie stars to come to the Emmys. Yeah Variety talk series full frontal with Samantha B. TBS Jimmy Kimmel live ABC last week tonight with John Oliver HBO who also won in 2016 the late late show with James Corden CBS real time with Bill Marr and HBO and The late show with Stephen Colbert CBS. We both went with Colbert Yeah, you know, it was I was like debating between Colbert and John Oliver I think both of them just with this dance They're taking on politics are getting so much buzz that Hollywood's gonna vote for one or the other of them Right and probably Colbert because he does it every night, right? In reality competition the nominees are the amazing race on CBS American Ninja Warrior on NBC. That's one of our favorites project runway on lifetime RuPaul's drag race on VH one top chef on Bravo and the voice on NBC the voice won in 2016 but the perennial winner by far is the amazing race and I think they'll probably win I agree television movie black mirror San Schubert, oh who to paro Something like that Netflix Dolly Parton's Christmas of many colors circle of love NBC The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks HBO Sherlock the lying detective masterpiece PBS the Wizard of Lies HBO in 2016. It was the abominable bride Which was a Sherlock which was a Sherlock So that's why I think it's not gonna be Sherlock this year, but okay. I don't know I picked on the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. I think because it it's Nonfiction, you know, it's a it's a sort of a docudrama kind of thing And it really addresses some social issues now. That's why I picked it and I picked black mirror Just because they want to give it. Well, I have seen it and be they want to give something to Netflix In variety sketch series the nominees are Billy on the street from true TV Documentary now on IFC drunk history on Comedy Central Portlandia on IFC Saturday Night Live on NBC and the Tracy Oman show on HBO in 2016 It was key and peel and both of us picked Saturday Night Live Again because of the political stand there they're kind of taking which they've always kind of taken Which is very popular at this point Structured reality program antiques Rocho PBS diners drive-ins and dives food network fixer upper HDTV lip-sync battle spike TV shark tank ABC And that was the winner in 2016 and who do you think you are? TLC hey, we split on this one. I put on this. I picked lip-sync battle. I think some of those those People who participate the stars really like that. Well, the only reason I didn't vote for that is it's I can't believe they're gonna give an Emmy to spike TV And so I that's why I went for who do you think you are? In unstructured reality program. I Don't know if there's much difference between the two right born this way on A&E Which one in 2016 deadliest catch on the Discovery Channel Gacation with Ellen page on vice land. Is that a network or a it's almost a network I think it's almost entirely internet-based. Okay Intervention on A&E and RuPaul's drag race untucked YouTube United States of America with M. Kamu Bell on CNN So I picked RuPaul's drag race and I picked born this way and that was more of a roll of the dice Writing for a variety series for frontal with Samantha B last week tonight with John Oliver late night with Seth Meyers The late show with Stephen Colbert and Saturday night live That's pretty much the same nominees as for you know, it generally is and we split on this one I went with Oliver and you with Colbert area Guest actor in a comedy series Riz Ahmed for girls Matthew Reese for girls Split boat. Yeah, Dave Chappelle for SNL Lynn Manuel Miranda for SNL. Hey, if he wins He could be well on his way to an egot Tom Hanks for Saturday night live Hugh Laurie for beat beep in 2016 Peter Scolari won for girls We both picked Hugh Laurie for deep and generally Guest actors tend to be more distinguished actors the younger ones don't really have much of a chance Yeah, that's I kind of went with the older actor Guest actor in a drama series Ben Mendelsohn bloodline BD Wong Mr. Robot Hank Azaria Ray Donovan Dennis O'Hare This is us Brian Tyree Henry. This is us Gerald McRaney. This is us now Despite the fact that there's a three-way split for this is us. I went with Gerald McRaney again based on Distinguished actor rule has he won an Emmy before I don't know if he has see that to me Yeah, yeah now this one was just for me purely a pick of I like BD Wong So I picked him. Yeah, I don't care Guest actress in a comedy series Wenda Sykes in black ish Carrie Fisher in catastrophe Becky and Baker in girls Angela Bassett in master of none Kristen Wiig in Saturday Night Live and Melissa McCarthy in Saturday Night Live in 2016 Amy Poehler and Tina Fey shared the award I think it's a no-brainer here. This is the absolute lock of the night. Carrie Fisher will pick that up Yeah, and she was pretty good in catastrophe and yeah, and basically the death rule kicks in on this one No question in my mind Guest actress in a drama series Allison right the Americans Alexis by Dell Blodell in Handmaid's Tale Cicely Tyson and how to get away with murder and doubt in the leftovers Laverne Cox in orange in orange is a new plaque Shannon Percer in Stranger Things in 2016 Marco Martindale won for the Americans. We split on this you went with the Cicely Tyson is the older distinguished and I went with the Handmaid's Tale is just gonna Swipe every category that it takes. Yeah in animated program Archer on FX in 2016 Bob's Burgers on Fox Sophia the first on the Disney Channel the Simpsons on Fox and South Park on Comedy Central You picked Archer. I didn't pick anything. No, I think I accidentally sent you the email before I picked something I don't even know. I'd probably say Archer simply because they won last year. Yeah, that's based on that solely Yeah, we'll be watching although kind of half-hearted. Yeah. Yeah, you can skip the whole hour.
