They need to change the criteria to 30 min and 60 min programs.

A lot of streaming shows are 45 minutes.

It's a show about Hollywood, which as a category has always overperformed at awards. They love the smell of their own farts in that town

The Oner and the two shows where Cranston was wasted are tremendous.

There's nothing people in the entertainment industry love more than giving awards to shows/movies about the industry.

They did change it for a few years after some shows in the late-90s and early-2000s started entering the comedy category (and often winning) -- like Ally McBeal, Desperate Housewives, Shameless, and Orange is the New Black -- despite being hour long shows that had some comedic elements but weren't pure comedies.

Of course, around that time, streaming became more popular and was getting more awards consideration, and they weren't beholden to commercial tv's structure where everything had to fit within the commercial breaks, so you can get comedies that push an hour and dramas that barely hit a half hour. As a result, the changed the rules again a few years ago.

I don’t think Hollywood is shown in a flattering way on The Studio.

The season was a little uneven but some episodes were brilliant. Episode 9 with Dave Franco and the group on mushrooms is arguably the best TV episode of any series I've seen in a long time.

If you were a fan of HBO's Newsroom I would highly recommend the TV show "The Newsreader". It is available on TELUS presents in Canada (Click the On Demand button on your TELUS TV remote) and will be on AMC+ soon as well. It is a hit in Austraila where it is filmed and it looks at a "Newsroom" in the 1980s.

60 with commercials

Any chatter in here about Chief of War on Apple?

I watched the first episode last night and thought it was pretty good. Definitely getting a "Hawaiian Shogun" vibe from it.

I can see why the Studio is nominated just from the way it's made. Shooting everything continuous like that is crazy difficult and makes every person's job 10x harder, including the actors who now maybe only get 1 or 2 takes, and so a lot of the dialogue probably has to be re-improvised and caught up with as they're filming and people inevitably forget/skip lines etc..

I think Barinholtz, Hahn, and Cranston all deserve some hardware.

The audience is so fragmented now. When there were only a few networks we all mostly experienced the same shows. Now there are so many channels, networks and services. I may never see PITT because I don’t subscribe. Those that don’t have Apple+ are missing a number of great shows.

The music industry is even more fragmented. Soon, none of us will have a common experience of artists to talk about.

Music industry is going to get much worse with AI music.
