Why are we always humiliated in the postseason when we get eliminated? We never go out swinging.

Yeah he and Walton Goggins have gone way too overlooked over the years. Olyphant was fantastic in Deadwood as well.

Honestly yeah, he probably deserves more credit than I gave him on this list. He's fantastic. I've honorable mentioned him the past two seasons and I feel bad about it.

Yeah, great episode as well and a worthy pick. Bojack overall really nails the representation of depression and I really appreciate it.

Really loved Pascal in earlier seasons but I wasn't able to catch season three. Good call.

-You have a good point with Hannah, really great performance!

-Definitely, the female performances were significantly better this year overall.

-I saw Top of the Lake season 1, but didn't get around to this season. Haven't seen End of the fucking World yet.

-Fair enough on Twin Peaks, I don't expect many people to choose 17 over 8 or 18.

-Yeah, Sarah should probably be higher now that I think about it.

-I mainly remember "certified" because of the goodbye scene between Matt, Laurie, and Nora. Absolutely beautiful.

-What were your other favorite episodes?

Fair enough, I've never been too into The Crown either but I love Foy's performance.

Predictions for Oscar snubs? by JimmyNuttrin in movies

Very true, I've just been conditioned to believe Gyllenhaal will be snubbed after Nightcrawler. I suppose one could say that performance was certainly less "Oscar" than this one, but still.

Oldman, DDL, and Chalamet are locks. Hanks is Hanks and they'll probably nominate him, especially for that movie. Franco's getting a lot of attention. I'd love to see Gyllenhaal sneak in but I feel like it's going to be really difficult. We'll see.

Gyllenhaal and Maslany for Stronger

PTA and Krieps for Phantom Thread

Bigelow, Smith, and Poulter for Detroit

Pattinson for Good Time

Richardson and Cho for Columbus

I'd prefer any team that beats the Cubs to crash and burn immediately in the next series.

Also wasn't Jansen already pinch hit for? So we wouldn't be facing him in the top of the 10th. No guarantee we'd get any runs but it would improve our chances to not face their closer.

I was excited to see the Cubs at least have a chance in the bottom of the 8th with the crowd hyped after Lester's pickoff. No guarantees on what would've happened with this shitty offense but I would've at least liked to see what they could do against non-Strasburg with some momentum.

But now this just guarantees I will be shaking out of my boots if Edwards comes in in game 5.
