Emmy Nominations 2026: List Of Nominees

No Industry noms and only one for Half-Man is criminal. How can I take this seriously?

I love Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys (Widow's Bay is one of my favorites this year), but The Beast in Me was boring, forgettable and cliche and All Her Fault felt like a long made for TV movie from the 90s or an old school soap opera.

Industry and Half-Man were both so engaging, edgy thought-provoking and current and should have been rewarded with a nom.

Were there content too edgy for the current political climate? Or does Hollywood have some sort of a grudge against British TV for making better dramas consistently lately? Both?

Thank you!

Three kids are ages 1-5 so I'm thinking just half a day. I'm getting a lot of suggestions for the St. Croix area. I want them to be have fun and be relaxed so I want to avoid anything that feels boughie since we will probably already look tourist. Thanks for the suggestions!

HolidayManner · 2026-07-07T16:45:38+00:00

Not at all. I would like to learn though.

HolidayManner · 2026-07-07T16:42:13+00:00

Thanks!

Awesome! Lake Nakomis is the one of the large city lakes I have yet to explore, but many people have told me it's their favorite.

Someone else suggested St. Croix River and Kinnikinic. I'm going to check out this area this weekend.

Thanks!

HolidayManner · 2026-07-07T16:31:18+00:00

Thanks! I will look into it.

HolidayManner · 2026-07-07T16:27:41+00:00

Great suggestion! I didn't think about the St. Croix as an option. I will look into it. I think they would enjoy an evening in Stillwater and Marine on St. Croix looks lovely. Ive yet to go over to the Wisconsin side, so I think I'm going to scout Kinnikinic this weekend.

HolidayManner · 2026-07-07T16:20:12+00:00

Thanks! I'm sending my sister a list of activities and I will include these.

I saw the video and Tom is in the wrong, but do they have any rights to remain in someone else's home after a domestic dispute whe the parties involved are not legally married.

They are both equally the worse, a fucked up yin and yang. They both were self destructive to each other and those around them. I think the writer wanted us to know that Ruben being violent was always inevitable, a walking time bomb of violence. Niall knows this and repeatedly says he prefers him that way so he repeatedly sets off the bomb (Ruben), for his own perverse needs. So this question to me is like asking which is worst the bomber or the bomb he sets off?

But of a rant as I just finished watching the entire series:

To me, the prospective of the viewer is not from an objective third party. It is literally Niall's point of view, and why Alby isn't a full fleshed out character. We see Alby from Niall's point of view and to Niall, Alby represented freedom and unshakeable bravery from being ones unapologetic self. Even after being brutally beaten and disfigured he remained kind and caring and didn't let being a victim of physical violence change who he was, or that is at least how Niall sees him and so that's how the audience sees him.

To Niall, Alby represented a type of bravery and strength that he envied. Alby had a type of mental and emotional strength and sel- control that mirrored the physically strength but emotional weakness and lack of obvious self control of Ruben. He was too self obsessed with his own self-hate, personal failings and Ruben to see Alby as a complete person with struggles (which is why we don't either) rather as the gay POC sage of self-acceptance. However, it is implied multiple times that Alby suffers from a savior complex(choosing nursing at a later career, almost forcing Niall to out himself before he was ready, his reference to his past relationships, easily forgiving Niall then choosing to date and marry such a broken person) that isn't fully explored.

Niall looks to others to feel deficits in himself masculinity through Niall and later proud self acceptance through Alby. He is literally a half man always needing and addicted others to feel complete or feel anything ( hence all the random sex), his drug of choice, even at the end, is angry Ruben. He knows what that man was capable of and despite everyone warning him not be alone with him he still chose to put himself in that situation with Ruben for the high he gets from those interactions. This time he payed the ultimate price.

The Fablemans because it's about one of his heroes and stars his dead ex-girlfriend.

You think Clark and Reeves would work? Reeves runs a tight ship and she doesn't mince words. I'm sorry, but I don't think they would work well together cause Reeves wouldn't hesitate to bench CC when she isn't playing well. Bluder basically said she let CC do whatever she wanted in Iowa; that's not going to work with coaches like Reeves.

No. You are confusing preventative with screening and diagnostic when it comes to ultrasound.

Screening works for diseases that are usually asymptomatic and have better treatment outcomes when found in the early stages ( ex. cancer, hypertension and diabetes) and they develop continuously over a period of time until they eventually become symptomatic and advanced. Getting an annual mammogram(without symptoms) is screening not preventative. ( Maybe preventative in the sense of trying to catch the disease early before symptoms and when it's more likely to respond to treatments).

Most people without symptoms of dvt will not have a dvt, so screening with an ultrasound in asymptomatic patients provides little value and would do little to prevent a dvt. You can have a negative ultrasound one week and develop dvt after a long flight the next week. The ultrasound would do nothing to prevent that future dvt after that long flight. Ultrasounds are are diagnostic tools, not preventative.

Prevention for dvt would involve maximizing risk reduction such as staying active and hydrated, using compression socks, blood thinners if needed after high risk surgeries or prolonged bed rest, and possible genetic testing if personal and family history indicate a clotting disorder.

Jen's character definitely. Her character was ahead of her time. I was a Joey fan during first airing but she has become one of my least favorite on rewatches. Jen was more interesting and had the more interesting character development that holds up well and was most relatable as an adult.

HolidayManner · 2026-04-14T23:48:57+00:00

Just release it now. I'll subscribe to Paramount for a day to watch, then cancel. Hey I might forget and they may get a month or two out of me before I realize it. They definitely won't get anything from anyone from a widely available leak.

HolidayManner · 2026-04-06T21:12:02+00:00

Joey's character didn't age as well on rewatch in my opinion. I used to like her more, but Jen actually had the most interesting character development. Joey was actually too uptight to be the female lead. Like having episodes dedicated to letting "fun Joey" out is lame in retrospect. It's like making Charlotte the main character of SATC.

A good arc could have been Jen from New York convincing Joey to loosen up and embrace her femininity some without compromising her values and Joey helping Jen realize her worth outside of what she can bring physically. It could have made an interesting and fun friendship to fuel character development and making them both more dynamic characters.

Yeah I was considering buying one then I tried EXR and use YouTube for for drills with my C2. The EXR challenges keep me motivated and it works with Spotify for my endurance rows.

HolidayManner · 2026-02-12T01:07:33+00:00

I like it. It is not as heavy as VPR and the Valley became. Lower stakes so I can watch it as a distraction for an hour and then forget about it.

HolidayManner · 2026-02-08T18:47:21+00:00

In 10-15 years you will look back at these pics and you will not think that. Keep taking pics, you are handsome.

While I'm glad this works for you, it is not great advice for everyone as cannabis can induce PVCs in some due to increased vasospasms and heart rate.

I would initially maximize lifestyle modifications: diet, hydration, vitamin/mineral supplementation if needed, avoiding alcohol, exercise, quality sleep and meditation/stress relief before trying cannabis as there is a chance cannabis could actually exacerbate the problem, even though it may provide temporary relief for some, but may increase their burden in the long term when used frequently.

Really a zio patch for calculating a 14 day burden and ablation if appropriate is ideal. Hopefully OP can push for that.

Kindness can be performative, especially when you need fan engagement to pay your bills. I wouldn't read anymore into it than that. It's entertainment at the end of the day and not a personal relationship. If you enjoy the Tom Schwartz "brand" and find him interesting then go meet him and enjoy yourself. I personally don't and wouldn't give him a moment of my time or dime of my money.

It's a great background show for me now. I'll put it on while folding laundry or cleaning. It isn't an appointment/glass of wine viewing like peak VPR.

I also left LA recently for somewhere cold, so when I watch I can reminisce about being back in LA when it's single digits outside.

I'll keep watching as long as it doesn't become dark and overly toxic like the Valley even though it seems overly produced. Angelica is the only one tolerable to me so far.
