My thoughts
- Very exited for my favorite show of the season Outlander to be nominated for Drama and Caitriona Balfe for lead actress
- I love thatEmpire got nominated, but how does a show with Cookie Lyons and al lthat music not go into the Comedy and Musical category. But yeii for a Cookie nomination!!
- Narcos? Ughh, and the horrible accent of Wagner Moura got nominated
- I guess I might need to give Mr. Robot a new look
- I loved Mozart in thr Jungle and so good that it got nominated
- Btw how great did the streaming services do! Go amazon, Hulu and Netflix?
- Flesh and Bone is my latest obsession and I highly recommend it
- In the movie side, just too many movies to watch – that is all… I have only seen 2 movies of the nominated ones
- With all the snub commentray some of the ones i agree with that i would have liked to see: UnReal, Sam Heughan, Outlander, Jane the Virgin, Ruth Wilson, The Affair
