Perhaps we should downplay the awards that the film and TV industry, especially the Yankee industry, awards to itself, and focus more on international festivals. To reduce the influence of commercial interests in the awards we draw attention to. The problem is that, for example, the most successful series compete in competitions such as Emmy 2022and moviegoers want to be applauded and recognized on stage.
The seventy-fourth edition mentioned above, which is convened by the Academy of Arts and Sciences of the Small Screen in the USA, has its own favorites that dominate the categories: dramatic succession (since 2018), nineteen nominations, humorous Ted Lasso (since 2020) and Khaki (since 2021), with thirteen one and ten others, and a tragicomic White Lotus (2021-2022), with eleven. But there is two great forgotten which is worth mentioning here.
Besides being absurd to do the first volume of the fourth season weird things (since 2016) already finished on Netflix, competing only as the best drama series, we think it doesn’t recognize the value of Mike Flanagan and his team’s work in the miniseries. midnight mass (2021), from the same platform, and Oscar Isaac’s stunning multiple interpretation for an identical format moon knight (2022) on Disney+ it’s not fair at all.
Midnight Mass and Oscar Isaac for Moon Knight outside the 2022 Emmy Awards
Some we are very glad that Station Elevenanother mini-series by Patrick Somerville (2021-2022) that adapts the novel of the same name by Emily St. John Mandel (2014) for HBO Max, was considered at the 2022 Emmy Awards for three statuettes: Best Actor for Himesh Patel and his Jeevan Chaudhary, Direction and Screenplay thanks to himself showrunner in the series “The Unbreakable Circle” (1×10). However, this joy does not make us ignore other virtues.
After such wonderful proposals as The curse of the house on the hill (2018) and The Curse of Bly Manor (2020), American Mike Flanagan was able to cut us off subtle, eloquent, devastating and unforgettable midnight mass. Narrative pantomime, audiovisual fidelity, great dialogue and monologues, and the interpretive work of the huge Hamish Linklater as Paul’s father meant that the Academy should not ignore this great story.
Relatively moon knightthe annoyance at being rejected at the 2022 Emmys isn’t due to the quality of Marvel fiction itself, but rather complex implementation from Guatemala Oscar Isaac -provided Secrets of marriage (2021) – as Mark Spector and his dissociative identity disorder should have earned him another nomination. Huge dramatic intensity and many nuances what he builds in himself for his character compels us to preserve it without hesitation.
