No nominations for Roanoke?


It didn't get any for Critics Choice or for the Golden Globes. Even Hotel managed to get in last year! Based off of almost every collective review site, Roanoke was better received than Hotel.. So... What?

Competition. So many miniseries and TV movies this year. Besides, the Globes don't really care about quality anymore. They just care about popularity most of the time. Deadpool was nominated for *beep* sake. Gaga was nominated last year (and won) because she was Gaga. I really liked her performance, but it should have gone to Kirsten Dunst that year.

Keep telling yourself all of that. Can't possibly be because this was literal dirt on television, right? It can't be! 

reply

Hey! Where have you been? You were a lot more pleasant before.

reply

No, I really wasn't. You obviously have a strained memory? I'm always a nightmare.

reply

No. I specifically remember liking you a lot.

And until now I thought he was one of the few normal ones. 😩

You need protection, my friend. You're way too nice to be the next target who once thought it was a decent human being.

I'd prefer a hitman.

 Thank you Dani. We need to stick up for one another. I've actually learned a lot from you on how to handle trolls. Subdued and calm, yet direct and with a touch of sass.

reply

Oh I dont think that's a troll, Gabe. Just a very angry person. Seems to have a thing for regs who get on with each other in cyber space. I was having a chat to another cyber buddy the other day about people who go after posters who just get on, even when they disagree on a topic. My theory is they have antisocial personality disorder.

Ah yes well Lana did so lovingly tell me I suckle on your and Qrisp's nipples.

He's a contortionist?

reply

No. His balls are detachable.

Neuticals, hey?

Such a coincidence, last night I developed a hurty stye on my eye - today the Lana Piranha is back on the board. What is this sorcery???

reply

What is this sorcery???

It's near the end of the year. All hell is breaking loose. Just look at America.

reply

God, everytime Trumpty Dumpty comes up on my FB feed I have a meltdown.

reply

At least there are some nice cat pictures on there, right?

reply

LMAO. Yes, there's a nice cat, albeit dead, sitting on his head.

reply

I think it's a skunk spray painted Fool's Gold Yellow.

reply

It's getting very hard to tell the difference these days.

reply

He's quite correct. He's a duplicitous mongrel, and I'm pretty sure he was back during the season using a sock account to behave like an even more rabid cocksicle.

reply

I kept giving him a pass right up until he knifed me just before this season started, then I realised the regs had been right to warn me for years. He's a toxic wasteland.

reply

I remember his outburst after the finale. So much for appearing rational.

reply

There is a lot of irrational around these days. A guy on the WW board had a go at me for liking that show, and he obviously did a post history search because he had a go at me for liking AHS. Why? Because I said I dropped The Wire. LOL I have no idea why people get their panties in a bunch if someone dropped their favourite show. Another one had a go at me because I said the song during the scne in WW where the lab rat is lubing up for Hector made my ears bleed.

reply

Who cares about award nominations? That is a bonus, takes nothing away from my enjoyment of the show, which in my opinion was better than the last 2 seasons.
And I am not taking advice from someone who thinks that Scream Queens is good, yes Lana ho, that is aimed at you, ya c um bucket!

Say what now?

LOL. You have such a way with words, Poppy Darling.

I just call it as I see it Dan, you gotta be tough with these heifers hunny.

reply

You are very true to yourself, Poppy I miss you when you're not around.

reply

Oh, bless ya Dan, Have a good Christmas if i'm not on before.

reply

And xmas blessings to you, my friend. I take it you'll be having a cold one? I'll swap you for this sauna.

reply

Colder than a witches tit it is. Still, adds to the festive cheer, well that and cheap booze.

Say what now?

reply

Can you imagine how shtty it is here during a heatwave to have winter xmas decorations? Absolutely absurd.

reply

This season wasn't good enough and there were better options in the mini series category.

reply

What are the noms for mini series?

reply

American Crime

The Dresser

Night Manager

The Night Of

The People v. O.J. Simpson

reply

Thanks champ. Have you seen The Dresser? I had never heard of that until I saw something on fb an hour ago. Not sure if we have it here yet.

reply

Never heard of it. Actually I haven't heard of half of them, other than OJ and American Crime.

reply

Yeah I dont watch any of those shows. Havent heard of The Night Watchman either.

edit to say I couldnt even get the name right.

reply

The Night Manager lost its steam occasionally, but the BBC has quite a reptutation with La Carre's work. It's a very intriguing mystery story. Hugh Laurie plays a great villain.

That being said, I think it's hilarious that AMC is bragging about their award count by also including that show.

reply

So basically Hotel got in on a weak year and Roanoke couldn't get in because it's a stronger year. Makes sense. To the people who say it's because it isn't good, that is simply not true. Objectively speaking, critics liked Roanoke better.

reply

I mean it's not the only show that didn't get any nominations. OITNB, Jouse of Cards, and Empire didn't get any either. All those are great shows too. The competition is too high this year. The Globes always like new things. They have a way better chance at the Emmys.

reply

Because AHS was never good

reply

And yet you watch it.

reply

True. Love your profile pic btw.

It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't give up...

reply

Love your profile pic btw.

Thanks. Damn good movie.

reply

Why are people even arguing about AHS when we could be discussing La La Land?


Less than forget. But more than begun.

reply

OT dear Viv is on the stranger things board going apesht that someone said Winona Ryder didnt deserve a nomination.

reply

How about Split? It's one of the only Shyamalan movies that's made me say "wow, that actually looks intriguing."
