For our final TV Talk podcast of the Emmy season, naturally Deadline Chief Film Critic and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond and Deadline Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten thought they would take a shot at calling some key races, not just in terms of what will win, but also in their individual views what should win.

‘We actually have the answers,” jokes Pete Hammond on what needs to be repaired by the TV Academy in today’s TV Talk podcast. “We want to talk about what we would do fix some of these egregious problems here,” Deadline’s Awards columnist adds.

This week on our Deadline podcast, TV Talk,  Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten and Chief Film Critic and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond continue our discussions on this year’s Emmy nominees, not necessarily ones that have managed to get into the race year after year, or after taking a hiatus, but those charmed shows that make it on their first try. How do you successfully break into a race that often favors the tried and true? Last year for instance the Outstanding Comedy categories produced two new shows, Ted Lasso and Hacks that simply plowed over the rest of the field. They are back this year in their season twos with a combined 37 nominations, but can breakthrough first season standout Abbott Elementary , or 17 time first season nominee Only Murders In The Building triumph on their Emmy race debuts and upset those favorites?  And what about Severance , Squid Game, and Yellowjackets out to crush the chances of past winner Succession in just their first season? What is the secret to Emmy glory for those shows on the first time at bat? We will dive into all of it, plus speaking of the tried and true in terms of Emmy nominations, you will also hear part of my conversation on The Actor’s Side with Killing Eve star Sandra Oh who is up with her 13th nomination for Emmys for the much acclaimed series that went out with a bang. She has never won. Will this be the first time? Listen to our podcast by clicking the link below.

The nominations for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled on July 12, and TV Talk is back to see the small screen trophy race across the finish line.

“I’m just making an argument to make this fascinating to our listeners here,” jokes our Awards Columnist today on Deadline’s TV Talk podcast.

Comedy is the subject today for this week’s edition of Deadline’s podcast, TV Talk. Deadline TV critic Dominic Patten and Awards Columnist and Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond take on the Emmy Awards race for Best Comedy Series, where Apple TV+’s juggernaut Ted Lasso is looking for a two-peat after taking the category in its first season last year.

The tight race for one of Emmy’s most prestigious categories, Outstanding Drama Series, is the topic for this week’s edition of Deadline’s podcast, TV TALK.  Awards Columnist and Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond and Deadline TV critic Dominic Patten go at it in trying to make sense of the contenders, and who may have the edge – or not. Last year the winner was Netflix’s The Crown which finally triumphed after several tries and led to a breakthrough in the category for the first time for the streamer. However, as is the case with so many series that take a year off – or more – and then return to the contest, The Crown is not eligible to defend its Emmy crown this time around.

Deadline TV critic Dominic Patten and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond take on the status of a major staple of broadcast tv, talk shows, and their status as this year’s Emmy race gears up. It is all in our latest edition of the Deadline Podcast series, TV Talk. We argue that maybe it is time for some new blood in the winners circle.

On this week’s edition of the Deadline Podcast series, TV Talk,  Deadline’s television critic Dominic Patten and Awards columnist Pete Hammond take on network broadcast tv’s Emmy dilemna. Although the Television Academy heavily relies on fees from the four broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) who share the annual Primetime Emmy telecast on a rotating wheel, it is each of those networks that benefit the least from Emmy attention in the major marquee categories of  Drama, Comedy, Limited Series, and other categories which almost exclusively cater to pay cable networks like HBO or streamers like Netflix, Apple, Hulu, Amazon and others who have simply – and successfully – crashed and taken over bragging rights for TV’s most valued award which when the wheel with rights to telecast the Emmys was originally created, the Primetime Emmys was dominated by nominees and winners from those TV networks. My how times have changed.

The state of Netflix has become the subject of endless media speculation and investor worry as their value on Wall Street started plummeting dramatically late last month.  The streamer has even floated the once verboten (for them) idea of an ad-supported version to help stem the bleeding, and all of this seemingly is affecting the public and industry perceptions of the steaming behemoth.

TV Talk is back – and in a big way. Our seasonal podcast with Deadline’s TV Critic Dominic Patten  and Awards Columnist and Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond debuts a new weekly group of podcasts devoted to all things TV, Emmys, and a whole lot more. Each Thursday we will be taking a deep dive into all aspects of what we are consuming on the tube these days, and it is a VERY big and inclusive list of topics. We try to explain it all and begin today with an overview on the 2021-22 tv season, what it means for Emmys, what the hot categories and trends, and much more. With so many new outlets and so much new content for voters to go through we also ask the question: Is it all too much? Plus you will hear some of Pete’s conversation with Josh Brolin and the cast of Outer Range as that series begins its run on Amazon. Join us each week for TV Talk.  We are not short on opinions.

Shortly after this morning’s nominations for the 73rd Annual Emmys were released I joined our TV Critic Dominic Patten for a special Emmy TV Talk Podcast to assess the hits and misses, what the Television Academy got right, what it may have gotten wrong, plus our individual choices for the biggest snub of the day. With the Emmys there is always controversy, and today’s massive list of nominees had plenty of that depending on which side you are on.

Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson “While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities,” Said Vice President-elect Kamala Harris today in the victory celebration for her and now President-elect Joe Biden.“And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: Dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might

Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson Americans may be celebrating Joe Biden’s victory in front of the White House and all over the nation, but inside the Executive Mansion, Donald Trump is going off the deep end.Back from the golf course the defeated incumbent unsurprisingly quickly took to social media to insist the election was stolen from him and that he is the real winner.

Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will speak to America tonight for the first time as the President-elect and Vice President of the United StatesLess than an hour after the former Vice President was declared the winner over Donald Trump, the campaign of the soon-to-be 46th POTUS’ announced Biden and Harris are set to address the country at 8 PM EST/5 PM PT Dr. Jill Biden and the now Second Man Doug Emhoff will join their spouses on stage in Wilmington, Delaware.

Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson As expected, Donald Trump is not accepting the results of the election and Joe Biden now being declared the next President of the United States.“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed.

Ted Johnson, Dominic Patten After CNN Business’ Brian Stelter went on air Friday to report that CNN had obtained memos in which Fox News instructed its anchors not to refer to Joe Biden as “president-elect” if the presidential race is called in his favor, some Fox News anchors indicated that they would refer to the former vice president that way.According to Stelter’s report with Oliver Darcy, its anchors were instructed to instead say something such as Biden has “enough electoral votes to win
