How Many Emmys Will 'Watchmen' Take Home?
On this week's episode of Millions of Screens, Ben, Libby, and Leo dive into the Emmy categories for Limited Series/TV Movie and try and pin down just how many awards HBO's 'Watchmen' will take home. Which of the 'Watchmen' trio of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jovan Adepo, or Louis Gossett Jr could defeat Jim Parsons of 'Hollywood' in the Best Supporting Actor race? Can Paul Mescal ('Normal People') continue the Academy's tradition of celebrating young upstarts in the Best Actor race (Riz Ahmed in 2017, Darren Criss in 2018, and Jharrel Jerome last year)? Is there any reason to think Regina King won't take home Best Actress, other than perhaps Cate Blanchett's immaculate turn as as Phyllis Schlafly in 'Mrs. America?' Additionally, Ben tries to explain HBO Max's 'Raised By Wolves' to Libby and Leo, and Libby wonders aloud what changes the Academy should make to the ceremony in the face of the pandemic.
