Ok, It took me one week to absorb and accept the fact that BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH DIDN’T WIN THE EMMY AWARDS FOR BEST ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES for his monumental, excruciating, emotional, funny, profound, intense, charismatic, unique, passionate, amazing, astounding, heartbreaking, mindblowing, distressing, disturbing performance in PATRICK MELROSE, which by the way DIDN’T WIN ANY EMMY, which is also incredible, but nonetheless….

I mean, C’MOOOOON, have you SEEN IT??? Have you WATCHED IT???

Apart from the Cumberbatch’s ROBBERY, there was a lot to be happy for me in the 70th Emmy Awards. The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’s clean sweep of all comedy awards was expected, and for once I totally agree: I truly enjoyed the writing and the directing of the batshit crazy Amy Sherman-Palladino and I’ve become almost immediately a great fan of both Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein: without Alex’s good job Rachel couldn’t shine so much, and viceversa. And nonetheless I’m a bit sad for the complete miss of the cast of Glow, because both Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin, but also Marc Maron, deserved to be at least all nominated, and not only Betty. Hope sincerely that the next year there will be some acknowledgement for their great job, because the sophomore season was at the same time funny, thought-provoking and really moving.

It was about time that someone recognize the good work of Matthew Rhys in The Americans, and also the good writing of this waaaay underrated spy/family series, and for their final season they finally get some rewards. Too bad for Keri Russell, but she was in a tough competition with some of the best actresses around: Elizabeth Moss, Clailre Foy, Evan Rachel Wood and Sandra Oh were all really good in their roles, but afterr seeing Killing Eve I would have liked that Sandra Oh won, instead of the Queen Claire Foy, again.

As for the GoT awards, I’d say that both the best supporting actor and the best Drama Series were a bit too much. Sorry for the umpteenth wins of Peter Dinklage, but Nikolay Koster-Waldou was better this year for his portrayal of Jaime Lannister, and as for the drama series, both The Handmaid’s Tale and The Crown, or The Americans would have been better choices IMHO.

After the break, a brief gallery from Red Carpet ..
