KW is a mediocre actress at best, her acting choices on Scandal are so bizarre to me. But how many not so good white actors have racked up award noms? Can't be mad at her for getting some recognition for one of the most buzzed and talked about tv characters in years.
Don't really watch tv, and when I do, it's more of an escapist experience. I don't really care about who gets nominated.
I love Kerry, love Scandal so I'm super happy that she's getting recognition.
The Emmys track record for poc is just shameful, especially considering that they have categories of six nominees. Then again I guess it's a reflection of the shameful state of the industry in general.
There are some lj folks who I always associate with one comm over all others so in my head you've always been OhNoTheyDidnt Family first and foremost for some reason LOL I guess because that's where I actively see ya the most lately.
And ngl, Im also sorta freshly obsessed with Scandal so yeah, there was just a strange fandom ladyboner from seeing Scandal fandom ppl discussing Scandal on _P as well. :)
There's that show Suits that Gina Torres is on, right? I don't watch it, but my mom likes it.
There's also Teyonah Parris who needs to be given some more friggin' screentime on Mad Men already. They gave her one teeny subplot this season and then forgot about her again.
OMG DON'T GET ME STARTED ON MAD MEN AND THE WAY MATTHEW WEINER HAS CONTINUALLY FUCKED OVER HIS CHARACTERS OF COLOUR AND THE ESPECIALLY EGREGIOUS AND SHITTY WAY HE WROTE BOTH CARLA AND DAWN.
I AM SO MAD ABOUT THAT. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET MORE DAWN. I WAS ALL EXCITED FOR IT. AND THEN NO.
God, I can't stand Matt Weiner. He introduces some new shiny white character every season who sucks up all the screentime, and everybody else gets totally shafted because Weiner wants to play with his new toy. Megan, Bob Benson, Ginsberg (whom I adore, but he fits the pattern too.) He's like a racist magpie.
Good for her! I know zero about Scandal save for a 5 minute clip I saw one night and a number of people who would flip their shit if I tried to talk to them while the show was on. *g*
That Emmy record is atrocious and completely unsurprising, though.
Kerry is the only nomination this year I'm excited about. All of my other favorites were shut out. I'm happy for her, and it was fun to see how excited the whole Scandal cast was for her on Twitter.
