[maxbutton id="3"] Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) is going for the three peat, and I think she's going to do it. For some odd reason, she's been unable to submit her best for Veep. The first season she submitted the episode tears when there were clear alternatives like the Pilot and "Baseball." The second season, she submitted the episode…
Did you know that it’s the first season of Orange is the New Black that is in contention at this year’s Emmy ceremony? I sure didn’t. So go ahead and check out my absurdly belated review of season two that I totally didn’t write by accident after you finish up here. And now, let’s all…
[maxbutton id="3"] The Drama Supporting Actor is a category that comes down to the episode submissions, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The race comes down to the three contenders: Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones ("The Laws of Gods and Men"): Peter Dinklage won this category for the show's first season, with an episode that really…
If at any point this essay devolves into just a running list of one-liners, I apologize.

Can you believe that we’re far enough past True Detective’s finale to have already arrived at the True Detective backlash? Neither can I, but here we are nonetheless. In the words of the ever-quotable Gawker Media, Nic Pizzolatto is a schmuck, and he probably also hates women? Pizzolatto mostly disregards that criticism, and mostly he…

For people of a certain generation, the works of Mike Judge in general, and the film Office Space in particular, are something of a cultural milestone. In fact, Office Space has defined for me (and likely for you, too) my entire approach to corporate culture, and also the restaurant business, and frankly just what it…
Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series is a category with a lot of great performances, but one is pretty much a lock to win. With the episode submission "Ozymandias" and the buzz of the final season, last year's winner Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) is a near shoe-in for a win. However, the dark horse…
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…
