You guys are pushing the term “dramedy” to be included in those awards

Be careful let’s enjoy what we have

In the universe where they want it to get all the nominations and know it won't against other dramas. It's a political move, my guy.

Look at what Shogun got in terms of nominations. FX doesn't want The Bear v Shogun. They want The Bear AND Shogun.

While this is true, I wonder if the sort-of-tepid response to Season 3 is going to cause it to perform worse this year than last. Hopefully not, because Season 2 was an absolute nuke.

I didn’t mention that in my post, but yeah, for sure, networks could also game this to get as many trophies as possible. I can’t recall which series were involved, but there has been some hand-wringing in recent years about what constitutes a “limited series” because shows have been moved there to better compete .

For sure.

There was talk about Shogun in the limited series category. But then they started talking about a S2 and had to make a decision on whether or not to greenlight it in part based on where they wanted it slotted for awards.

Bear vs Shogun sounds like a pretty sweet matchup as long as it’s not a docile panda

In "Forks" when Richie makes the deep-dish pizza run... does anyone else think the final plating looked like shit? The cheese wasn't even melty at that stage. It just looked sad.

But definitely a cool gesture.

I remember it looking just as gross and pointless as actual Chicago deep dish. So it worked for me.
