By most measures Amy Schumer is an unlikely It Girl. She is crude and often vulgar. She does not look like or present herself as a vapid, bleached-blond wastrel. She speaks bluntly and frankly about the very system that regularly anoints It Girls, and what she has to say is sharply critical. And yet here…
I think everyone in the category for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series breathed a sigh of relief when Orange is the New Black was deemed a drama series and, in turn, Uzo Aduba was pulled out of contention. With her out of the way, it's going to be a tight race with several women having phenomenal…

It seems that every year it's becoming harder and harder to figure out who will win Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmys. However, this year we're even having the problem or predicting who will be nominated. With 4-time winner Aaron Paul and The Good Wife favorite Josh Charles out of the race,…
Drama Series is pretty much done for me. A lot of people are going to say True Detective can win, Game of Thrones can win, House of Cards can win, but Breaking Bad will win. Although my confidence was a bit shaken when True Detective hauled in 4 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, I…
