It Could Be Worse
To be fair, some predictable but worthy nominations this year. Unlike The Hollowood Critics Awards who have nominated LIzzo for Best Guest Actress In A Drama Series for The Mandalorian. Hollywood serve us shit, and then stand back and laugh as they watch us eat it.
The 75th Emmys take place on 18th September 2023, I’m sure you’ll all be tuning in.
