This is by far the easiest category to predict. The Normal Heart is pretty much running this race unopposed. It did extremely well in the nominations with 16, leading all TV movies, and it did receive critical acclaim. If there is a very unlikely upset, it would probably be Sherlock: His Last Vow. There's no…
When I say there isn't a contender more underrated than Killing Kennedy, I mean it. Although it was a fairly successful entry for the History Channel, have you heard someone walking down the street saying, "have you seen that new JFK movie on the History Channel?" However, although the History Channel is basically doing to…
I've been avoiding predicting this category like the plague. It is probably the hardest category to predict, because there is not even a semblance of a frontrunner. The top three contenders are neck and neck, and this race could really go either way. First of all there is Julia Roberts (The Normal Heart). Her role in…
Karl, Brooke, and Craig discuss the year in television so far including on air and on Netflix. They also talk about the upcoming fall lineup and those pesky Emmys! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKQNbB-ANis
If you asked me two months ago who would win Guest Actress in a Drama Series, I would have put all my money on Allison Janney (Masters of Sex) for her masterful portrayal of a sexually frustrated housewife. However, after watching the tapes, it looks like there is another contender trying to stab her in…
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. Veep did surprisingly well last year winning 3 awards, with surprises in two of the categories. This year they did even better increasing their nomination total from five to…
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. Partially because it was the first film adaptation of a Shakespeare play that I watched, and partially because…
SPOILERS AHEAD! Breaking Bad's brilliant final season deserves all the accolades coming to it (see our Emmy predictions here), but why? Here are 11 reasons why Breaking Bad should win at the Emmys. So Hanks finds out about Walt in the premiere, but instead of lashing out, in true Heisenberg style Walt says: When Hank…
In Do the Shuffle, one of our team members puts their iPod on shuffle and makes a playlist out of the first ten songs that play. It’s a great way to find new music or rediscover the old stuff. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/smashcutreviews/playlist/3pbCQijWocfc5F1ub7NBbt
SPOILERS! It's ridiculous, unrealistic, and wonderfully dark, but also so entertaining. It probably won't win this year at the Emmys, but here are some reasons voters could cast their vote for House of Cards. "One heartbeat away from the presidency and not a single vote cast in my name..." Remember when Frank gave us this…
