I'm ecstatic that Feud: Bette and Joan received 18 Emmy nominations! I hope Ryan Murphy wins for writing and/or directing. The actors were all so brilliant, I can't choose between them. Thrilled to see BD Wong nominated as Guest Actor in a Drama, for Mr. Robot. Hope he wins. And Donald Glover deserves to win Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, for Atlanta, imo. Documentary Now! was Stun.Ing.Ly. well written, performed, directed, and produced. Not to mention hilarious. So I doubt it will win Variety Sketch Series.

2017 Hugo awards for science fiction- Hugos are the longest running science fiction awards covering books, TV shows, and even have a fan writer award.
The complicated politics behind this year's Hugo Awards, wow! Appears to echo what is happening in the United States with people or even the left v alt-right in some ways. In the world too.
The Expanse series won, Ursela K. Le Guin and other familiar names are winners linked below
The Verge
title: "Women swept nearly every category at the 2017 Hugo Awards
The 75th World Science Fiction Convention (commonly known as WorldCon) is being held this weekend in Helsinki, Finland. The convention is where the annual Hugo Awards are presented, and today, the convention announced the latest recipients.
This year, women almost completely swept the Hugo Awards, taking home the top prizes for literature in the science fiction community. That’s particularly notable, given how the awards have been increasingly recognizing works from female and minority creators. The trend prompted a counter-movement from two group of fans, the self-described “Sad Puppies,” and their alt-right equivalents, the “Rabid Puppies.” These groups gamed the awards and forced a slate of nominees onto the Hugo ballot in 2015, prompting widespread backlash within the wider genre community. Another award, the Dragon, faced similar issues earlier this week when several authors asked to pull their nominations over concerns about Puppy interference and the award’s integrity.
This year’s sweep by female creators seems to be a strong repudiation of anti-diversity groups. 2017 also marked the year the ceremony earned its own award: a representative from the Guinness Book of World Records certified that the Hugos are the longest-running science fiction awards ever.
The Best Novel Hugo went to N.K. Jemisin, for The Obelisk Gate, a novel set in the midst of a magical apocalypse. It’s also the sequel to The Fifth Season, which took home the same award last year. Her next novel, and final installment of the trilogy, The Stone Sky, is out next week.

Although I love The Handmaid's Tale I'm a little surprised by Alexis Bledel's win for guest actress. There are several actresses on the show that likely fit this category that are more deserving, IMO.

I'm doing fairly good with my picks so far! Also Emmy Rossum is my favorite Emmy look so far. 10/10

I like Emmy Rossum and also Millie Bobbie Brown's Emmy look.
I was thrilled overall with the winners list although I do wish Issa Rae had won for Insecure. JOhn Oliver, my celeb crush won, and the overall diversity of the Emmys was fantastic. I love JLD in Veep but felt she is now in Bryan Cranston territory Emmys-wise. Veep has one last chance to score Emmys so maybe somebody else can win next year.

dark sister, I do not see your winners list? I must say- whoever thought having Sean Spicer at the Emmys, with his podium and joking about his WH tenure and behaviors- please send that person to drug/alcohol rehab ASAP. That was just such a monumental WTF.

That was just such a monumental WTF. Fixed it! Thank you for letting me know. Yeah, That Spicer thing was a huge wtf moment. I was laughing at Anna Chlumsky's reaction to it, but not to the event itself. I'm really happy with all of the winners. I need to add Master of None, Atlanta, and This Is Us to my watch list, which I plan on doing this winter, perhaps. Hopefully Issa will get a nomination next year, I'm still a bit surprised she didn't get one this year. I'm already going to start campaigning for Lena Headey to finally win a damn Emmy though. Queen Cersei deserves that.

I was pleased with the wins for Handmaid's Tale and enjoyed Ann Dowd's genuine surprise at winning. The Black Mirror episode that was nominated scored two Emmys. Though JDM presenting Elizabeth Moss annoyed me, for some reason. If they wanted someone from TWD to present, it should have been Andrew.
Don't throw tomatoes but I thought the Sean Spicer skit was hysterical, probably because it was so totally unexpected.
And I was amused at Chris Hardwick presenting at around the same time he was "live" on TTD. They must have prerecorded TTD much earlier than usual.

AMC frequently forgets that Andrew IS THE LEAD OF THIS SHOW. Not only that, but he's one of the best actors on it. He should be presenting. Ann Dowd's speech was wonderful. I couldn't even be mad about Thandie losing because man I'm just glad Ann is finally getting her due. She's a tremendous actress.
