I've been hesitant to predict this category. I think that the category is being battled out between two of the biggest critical darlings of the year.

Much Ado About Nothing finds Joss Whedon at his sharpest and most creative I have something to admit. The 1993 film Much Ado About Nothing is one of the movies that made me fall in love with cinema.

Emmy favorite Allison Janney (Mom) has been the presumed frontrunner of this race from the beginning of the season. However, I wasn't totally buying that she could win based off name alone. However, the episode submissions have made it clear who this race comes down to. There are really only two viable contenders to win.…
Usually when I revisit a show, I begin to find flaws. It happens every time. Nearly every show feels perfect the first time around, but when you watch it again, you're paying more attention to the details, good and bad. The first time I watched Once the musical, I was putty in their Irish hands.…
