Gold Derby readers can’t stop talking about Mark Ruffalo‘s role(s) on HBO’s dark limited series “I Know This Much Is True,” which concluded Sunday night. The popular “Avengers” actor cuts his teeth portraying twin brothers Dominick Birdsey and Thomas Birdsey, a paranoid schizophrenic, in Wally Lamb‘s 1998 novel of the same name. “Emmy voters, Mark Ruffalo is giving the performance of his career here,” writes our forum poster Atypical. Another reader, DvirBA, proclaims, “Mark Ruffalo is winning this right? This show is brilliant.” What do You think, Derbyites? Give us your Emmy predictions right now.
It wouldn’t be the first time somebody won an industry award for playing multiple roles — after all, voters rightly see this concept as two performances for the price of one. A recent example is Tatiana Maslany, who took home an Emmy for playing a collection of clones on “Orphan Black...

At the upcoming Emmys, will we see a cutthroat power clash occur in the Best Actor battle that we’ve often witnessed – with secret, vicarious delight, admit it – playing out on HBO’s “Succession”? Some of its best scenes involve Brian Cox as the oft-heartless tycoon Logan Roy who must frequently slap down his scheming, greedy kids – the worst of whom can be that relentlessly diabolical son Kendall played by Jeremy Strong.
According to Gold Derby’s latest racetrack odds, both Cox and Strong will be nominated for Best Drama Actor and one of them is overwhelmingly favored to win – for now – while “Succession” seems waaaay out front to bag Best Drama Series, too, by the way. Out of 18 Experts making predictions at Gold Derby, 12 foresee Cox prevailing in the acting race, including many prestigious pundits like Ken Tucker (Yahoo), Lynette Rice (Entertainment Weekly) and Joyce Eng (Gold Derby). None pick Jeremy Stong,...

Before Emmy nominations were announced we thought Henry Winkler was on the bubble for a Best Comedy Supporting Actor nom for HBO’s “Barry.” We had him ranked eighth. But as soon as the nominations were announced on July 12 Winkler shot up to the top of our predictions charts and now gets leading odds of 2/3. And it’s about time. You’d think the 72-year-old TV veteran would be knee-deep in Emmys by now, but he actually hasn’t won before, not even for his iconic role as Fonzie on “Happy Days.” Well, happy days might be here again when the envelopes are opened on September 17.
Winkler co-stars in “Barry” as Gene Cousineau, an acting coach to a hit man who longs to be a thespian. As of this writing Winkler is backed by 9 out of the 14 Expert journalists we’ve polled for their picks: Debra Birnbaum (Variety), Eric Deggans...

If “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” earns an Emmy nomination for Best Limited Series, as Gold Derby’s racetrack odds predict, that would be the seventh consecutive nomination for prolific producer Ryan Murphy in this category. Over the past decade Murphy and his team at FX have completely reinvented TV’s longform format, and that’s no more evident than at the Emmys. Previously these six shows all received Emmy noms for Best Limited Series: “Feud: Bette and Joan” (2017), “The People v. O. J. Simpson” (2016), “American Horror Story: Freak Show” (2015), “American Horror Story: Coven” (2014), “American Horror Story: Asylum” (2013) and “American Horror Story: Murder House” (2012).
Based on Maureen Orth‘s book “Vulgar Favors,” “Versace” follows the story of spree killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss) who murdered several men in the 1990s including fashion designer Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez). Tom Rob Smith wrote the nine-episode series that also stars Emmy contenders Penelope Cruz,...

At the Emmys it often pays to play a likable character, someone voters want to hug. But sometimes playing a larger-than-life villain pays off too, like it did for Alexander Skarsgard when he won Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor last year for playing a violent husband in “Big Little Lies.” This year Jason Ritter could win the same category as an abuser in the telefilm “The Tale.” But this role is even darker than Skarsgard’s winning performance. Will voters reward Ritter’s commitment, or will they look away?
“The Tale” tells the true story of writer-director Jennifer Fox‘s painful process of coming to terms with the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her running coach when she was 13. Laura Dern plays Fox in the present day, while Ritter plays the coach in flashbacks. Unsettling scenes show the gradual progress of the abuse, as Fox’s coach grooms,...

Emmys 2018: Cicely Tyson could finally win for fan-favorite ‘How to Get Away with Murder’ guest role
Emmy legend Cicely Tyson is back in contention yet again this year for her fan-favorite guest role as Ophelia Harkness, the mother of Viola Davis‘ Annalise Keating on “How to Get Away with Murder.” The 93-year-old actress has been nominated twice so far for ABC’s drama series, losing to Margo Martindale (“The Americans”) in 2015 and Alexis Bledel (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) in 2017. If she gets nominated again, can she finally take home the trophy?
See‘Scandal’s’ final season (*sniff*) submits 9 actors on Emmy ballot including Kerry Washington and Viola Davis
Tyson’s previous Emmy victories include Best Movie/Mini Actress for “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman” in 1974, for which she also took home a special award for Actress of the Year, and Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress for “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All” in 1994. The actress also has an Oscar nomination to her name for “Sounder”.

One of Emmy’s deep, dark secrets is that she loves serial killers. In fact, over the past two decades many actors have won Best Drama Guest Actor for playing such psychotic murderers. Remember Pruitt Taylor Vince on “Murder One” (1997)? How about John Larroquette (1998) and Michael Emerson (2001) for “The Practice”? More recently there was John Lithgow for “Dexter” (2010) and (to a lesser extent) Joe Morton for “Scandal” (2014). All of this is great news, of course, for Cameron Britton on Netflix’s “Mindhunter,” who portrays TV’s latest serial killer Edmund Kemper.
SEEJonathan Groff (‘Mindhunter’): Emmy Experts say the Netflix G-Man could track down his first nomination
Britton may not have a recognizable name, but that didn’t stop Vince or Emerson from winning Emmys thanks in part to the lasting impact of their characters. All of Kemper’s scenes take place in prison many years after he was arrested for his spree killings.

Even though Emmy voters love repeats, Best Drama Actor and Best Drama Actress haven’t repeated together since Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) and Glenn Close (“Damages”) back in 2008-09. Now our leading Experts from media outlets are predicting that it’ll happen again this year for reigning Emmy champs Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”) and Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”). Of the 18 Experts who’ve chimed in with their 2018 Emmy predictions, 10 of them think that both Brown and Moss will again. The other eight predict that one of these categories will be ripe for an upset.
These are the 10 Emmy Experts who are banking on repeat victories for Brown and Moss in the drama lead races: Debra Birnbaum (Variety), Eric Deggans (NPR), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Pete Hammond (Deadline Hollywood), Chris Harnick (E), Matthew Jacobs (HuffPo), Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), Peter Travers (Rolling...

At last year’s Emmys Netflix scored two big wins for anthology series “Black Mirror” thanks to the “San Junipero” installment: Best TV Movie and Best Writing for Charlie Brooker. The streaming network could be in for a similar haul this year, this time for the fan-favorite outing “USS Callister.” Eleven of Gold Derby’s 16 Emmy Experts predict that “USS Callister (Black Mirror),” its official title on the Emmy ballot, will win Best TV Movie, resulting in leading 15/8 odds. Will any of the program’s Emmy-eligible performers — Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson or Michaela Coel — go along for the ride? Let’s take a closer look.

“Barry” aired its first season this spring on HBO to critical acclaim, scoring 83 on MetaCritic based on 28 reviews. The black comedy about a hit man (Bill Hader) who dreams of being an actor has been creeping up our predictions rankings, stalking the field in the hopes of taking out one of its rivals. As of this writing it’s on the bubble in eighth place with 33/1 odds based on the combined predictions of more than 2,000 Gold Derby users, so can it knock off any of the top seven? Many of our Experts think so.
We’ve polled 17 Expert journalists from top media outlets for their Emmy picks, and 7 of them are currently predicting a nom for “Barry”: Eric Deggans (NPR), Pete Hammond (Deadline), Robert Rorke (New York Post), Anne Thompson (IndieWire), Ben Travers (IndieWire), Ken Tucker (Yahoo) and Glenn Whipp (La Times).

Last year’s Emmy winner for Best Drama Supporting Actress was Ann Dowd, who plays tough-as-nails Aunt Lydia on “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She’s predicted to win again by the majority of our Expert journalists from major media outlets, however one Expert — Chris Harnick (E!) — goes rogue in predicting an upset for Dowd’s costar Alexis Bledel. Bledel also won an Emmy last year for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” though her victory was down in Best Drama Guest Actress. Because Bledel appeared in so many episodes in Season 2 of the Hulu hit, she’s now competing head-to-head against Dowd in the supporting race.

“American Vandal” is coming into Emmy season as a strong candidate for awards after earning Critics’ Choice nominations for Best Limited Series and Best Movie/Mini Actor (Jimmy Tatro), as well as a Writers Guild nom for Best New Series. But it faces a significant hurdle: its sense of humor. The movie/miniseries categories at the Emmys don’t distinguish between comedies and dramas like the continuing-series categories do, so you might expect to find a mix of comedies and dramas competing from year to year. But in reality the categories are overwhelmingly flooded with dramas. Will “Vandal” inspire the television academy to lighten up?
“Vandal” premiered on Netflix in September 2017 with its eight-episode first season. It parodied true crime documentaries like the “Serial” podcast or Netflix’s own “Making a Murderer,” with a doggedly determined high school filmmaker (Tyler Alvarez) trying to get to the bottom of a mystery:...

The April 4 death of Roger Ebert unleashed an unprecedented outpouring of affection and appraisal. Ebert embodied the old and the new, the tough-nosed competitive reporter and film enthusiast as well as the new model internet communicator and brand-builder. On the one hand, he revealed as outmoded the film critic as expert expounding down to their audiences. But he also exemplified the authoritative experienced veteran whose opinion was valued. He had clout. How will the Chicago Sun-Times move to replace him? Myriad editorial changes continue as print media buckles under the pressure of slashing costs as print readers and advertisers decline. For the most part this means that established and respected voices are tempting line item deletions: Ken Tucker and Lisa Schwarzbaum at Entertainment Weekly are especially missed; they're now freelancing. But as Scott Foundas left the Film Society of Lincoln Center for The Voice and then Variety, Stephanie Zacharek, once of Salon and Movieline,...

Vulture is holding the ultimate Sitcom Smackdown to determine the greatest TV comedy of the past 30 years. Each day, a different notable writer will be charged with determining the winner of a round of the bracket, until New York Magazine TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz judges the finals on March 18. Today is the second match of the quarterfinals, with critic Ken Tucker pitting Friends against Roseanne. Make sure to head over to Facebook to vote in our Readers Bracket, which has already veered from our critics' choices. We also invite tweeted opinions with the #sitcomsmackdown hashtag.To compare and contrast and ultimately declare a “winner” between Friends and Roseanne means grappling with a bigger issue than the differences in quality between two sitcoms. Indeed, what we must grapple with here are two interpretations of cultural excellence that have bedeviled art, literary, and music critics long before it drifted down to TV criticism.

Ken Tucker, the longtime television critic at Entertainment Weekly, is leaving the magazine after 24 years, editor Jess Cagle announced on Wednesday. Tucker's departure comes a week after film critic Lisa Schwarzman, a 22-year-veteran, said she was leaving to pursue new writing opportunities. In a memo sent to the staff, Cagle described Tucker as an "icon" whose coverage helped boost the profile of popular shows like "The X Files" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." "Ken never stopped fulfilling [EW's] mission, and even though he's leaving EW, his voice, sensibility, humor, passion, incomparable wit...

For those of you who don’t know what Southland is, it’s an expertly executed TNT drama about cops in L.A. starring the likes of Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy, Regina King, and Ben McKenzie. The show presents a sometimes shockingly realistic portrayal of being a cop in the perhaps not-so-appropriately named City of Angels. From the in-your-face camera angles to the inner demons of the characters themselves, Southland is known for being gritty and dramatic, and the fifth season opener is no different.

Netflix’s new political thriller House of Cards is designed for binge-viewing, which makes it great for consumers who enjoy watching TV at their own pace — and less great for writers accustomed to dissecting shows hour by hour and week by week.

The final episode of Fringe delivered the drama’s biggest audience of the season.
Sure, it still wasn’t very much. The two-hour series closer had only 3.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, on par with its fourth season finale.
But that’s part of the Fringe story — a show Fox liked enough to keep on the air long past its ratings expiration date. In fact, Fox’s entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly has previous cited Fringe has the network’s make-up gift to the sci-fi community. Granted, one of his predecessors killed Firefly, but Fox let this fan-favorite play out.

The new season of "Justified" brought with it just a hint of Mayberry. Patton Oswalt joined the cast as Constable Bob Sweeney, a bumbling sidekick for Raylan Givens. While he doesn't carry a single bullet for his gun the way Barney Fife did, Bob has a knife that he believes he can use to take people out -- so long as they come at him the right way.
When Raylan took on a bounty job on the side, he called in Bob to help him out. Things went south, as the always do, when he got pulled into a different case involving two teenage copper thieves and a bag pulled from the wall of his father's house. Everything culminated in a tense standoff that would have been over a lot sooner had Bob not asked one of the men to pull on him.

As always, SNL had its ups and downs this year. For every insta-classic Maya Rudolph episode, there was a stinker hosted by Daniel Craig; for every innovative new sketch (come on, you liked “The Californians” the first time it aired), there was a bit that wore out its welcome long ago (did we really need to see Gilly one last time?).

Beth Hart’s performance of “I’d Rather Go Blind” with Jeff Beck for honoree Buddy Guy moved the crowd in the theater (including Barack and Michelle Obama, watch them at 2:32 in the clip below) and at home (I know I went to iTunes and purchased that song off of her album with Joe Bonamassa, Don’t Explain).

Justified returns for a fourth season on Jan. 8 (look for scoop in EW’s Winter TV preview issue on newsstands Dec. 31), and if Ken Tucker naming the FX drama one of his Top 10 shows of 2012 isn’t enough ammunition for you to convince friends and family to tune in and make this show as popular as Sons of Anarchy, perhaps the two exclusive clips below from the season 3 Blu-ray and DVD, out Dec. 31, will do the trick. In the first, executive producers Graham Yost and Fred Golan, along with a gleeful, blood-splattered Neal McDonough, talk about season 3′s big bad,...

Deaths, daddy issues, and a “Did she just do that?!” moment. These five single moments had lasting effects on their shows — and their shocked viewers.
5. Cliff hanger, Dallas
The original gave us “Who Shot J.R?” and this reboot has kept the surprises coming. Most shocking of all: Rebecca is Cliff’s daughter! You voted this clever turn of events, revealed in the season 1 finale, the “Single Most Clever Plot Twist” in our Summer TV Awards 2012.

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Sons of Anarchy’s season 5 finale, stop reading now. One of the big questions was whether fan favorite Tig (Kim Coates) would live or die. In a pre-finale EW.com poll, 21 percent of readers thought Pope (Harold Perrineau) would get his revenge on Tig, the man who killed his daughter (and the man whose daughter Pope burned alive in retaliation in the season premiere), while 28 percent thought Jax (Charlie Hunnam) would find a way to save Tig and 51 percent believed Tig would end up flying to Ireland with Clay (Ron Perlman).

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Sons of Anarchy’s season 5 finale, stop reading now. All season we’ve been building to the answer to this question: Can Jax sit in Clay’s old chair and not become Clay? We got our answer. For more on the season finale, read our postmortem interviews with creator Kurt Sutter and Kim Coates (Tig) and Ken Tucker’s review.
Because that morphing was the theme of season 5, it was fitting that the finale opened with a montage of Tara’s face fading into Gemma’s and Nero’s tattoo fading into Clay...

Sometimes it’s hard to let go of an episode of television. Maybe it marks a decisive turning point for a series you love. Maybe it makes you laugh uproariously (or cry shamelessly) every time you watch it. Maybe it’s just plain cool. Below are the five episodes or television we just couldn’t delete from our DVR’s memory banks months after they first aired.

Who’s afraid of Liz & Dick’s ratings?
Lifetime’s critically trashed Elizabeth Taylor biopic starring Lindsay Lohan delivered 3.5 million viewers Sunday night.
The network points out Liz & Dick ranks as its fourth highest-rated original TV movie of 2012 — which is sort of a weak brag, considering all the advance hype. Liz & Dick delivered fewer viewers than Lifetime movies such as Steel Magnolias, Drew Peterson: Untouchable and Abducted: The Carlina White Story.
The film chronicles Elizabeth Taylor’s romance with Richard Burton from 1961 to 1984 and received hostile reviews, with critics bashing the stunt casting of Lohan as the silver screen legend.

On Sunday, Lifetime premieres Liz & Dick, its Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton biopic starring Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler. Exec producer Larry Thompson openly admits Lohan brought with her a younger demographic (and headlines) but also risk. He first met with Lohan about the project last December but cameras didn’t roll until June. “When we first met with her, she had two probations, and when we finally closed the deal with her, there was only one probation,” Thompson says. “If we couldn’t have gotten insurance, there would have been no movie. We wound up having to go to...

Whitney Cummings was relatively unaware of the many, many, many bad reviews her NBC sitcom received .... That is until sone fateful night.
“I was working so hard -- either at the office or home, and never going out or online -- and then one night I went to an NBC event,” Cummings told Vulture. "Everyone was treating me like I had cancer. 'Are you hanging in there?' I was like, 'Yeah, this is the best time of my life!' They said, 'Everyone hated "Seinfeld" when it first went on the air,' and, 'You stay strong, girl.' I Googled myself, which never ends well. I started realizing what was going on, and I went through trauma."
Cummings described the experience as “emotionally very paralyzing and traumatizing.” She attempted to fix what many perceived as the problem, her title character, and focus the show on the supporting cast.

This week, several new series bit the dust: ABC’s drama Last Resort, ABC’s drama 666 Park Avenue and CBS’s comedy Partners.
They will join NBC’s comedy Animal Practice and CBS’s drama Made in Jersey in rookie TV heaven, where they will live on in YouTube clips.
Fox’s The Mob Doctor airs tonight, but the drama likely won’t last past its 13-episode order. Its last broadcast, on Nov. 12, drew 3.1 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in the coveted 18-49 adults demographic. In comparison, take a look at the ratings of the aforementioned canceled freshman shows:
• Made in Jersey: The final episode of the legal drama attracted 5.8 million viewers and a 18-49 demo rating of 0.8.
• Animal Practice: The last episode saw 3.8 million people and a 18-49 demo rating of 1.0.
• Partners: The episode that aired before its cancellation pulled in a series low rating,...

Tonight’s episode of The Good Wife (CBS, 9:30 p.m. Et) marks series regular Josh Charles’ directorial debut. It’s an hour that, in addition to the show’s regular cast, features recurring guests Nathan Lane, Maura Tierney, Denis O’Hare, Kristin Chenoweth, and Amanda Peet, who makes her first appearance as Capt. Hellinger, a female military officer accusing a civilian contractor of attempting to rape her in Afghanistan. The case is brought to Lockhart Gardner through Judge Kuhn (Linda Emond). Brian Dennehy also appears as Alicia’s opposing counsel, the wonderfully named Bucky. We talked to Charles, who...

ABC rolled out its new comedy block Friday night, but it was the Sharks that made the biggest splash.
Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing (7.8 million, 1.9 adult demo rating) returned to its new time period, obviously down quite a bit from its Tuesday series debut last year, but still pulling a solid number for this slot. That led into Reba McEntire’s new comedy Malibu Country (8.9 million, 2.2), which notably improved upon its lead-in. Sure critics disliked this sitcom, whose studio audience laugh-track sounded like it was cranked to 11, but with these numbers ABC won’t care (EW’s Ken Tucker...

Brad Paisley and Paisley and Carrie Underwood have become quite a fine comedic duo over the past few years, so it’s no surprise they’re back to host the Cma Awards for a fifth year. It’s also no surprise that they totally nailed the opening.

NBC aired its Mockingbird Lane pilot Friday night as a Halloween special.
How’d it do? The ambitious Munsters reboot was seen by 5.4 million viewers and delivered a 1.5 rating in the adult demo. That easily beat Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares premiere (2.7 million, 0.9), which returned down a sharp 44 percent from last year, but it couldn’t top ABC’s usual 8 p.m. victor, Shark Tank (6.8 million, 1.8).
Mockingbird did firmly boost NBC’s Grimm (6 million, 1.9), however, which jumped 27 percent at 9 p.m. This is the second-highest rated episode of Grimm ever.

"The Good Wife" creators have heard your cries and are making adjustments to the Kalinda/Nick storyline. In an interview with TV Guide, Robert and Michelle King acknowledged the arc has hit a few wrong chords with fans.
"You don't give James Bond a girlfriend," Robert said. "Some characters you actually don't want to see that much backstory. We're adjusting. No matter where we went, this was not a place where the audience wanted to go."
Kalinda's estranged husband, Nick (Marc Warren), was first hinted at back in Season 2. The show teased his arrival in Season 3 with menacing phone calls, but he didn't show up until the Season 4 premiere. After a series of physical altercations -- including violence and sex, including one very risque scene involving ice cream -- the Kings are listening to the critics and viewers and moving toward wrapping up the story.

Jane Fonda will be gracing our TV screens once more. No, not in another workout video. Instead, the actress has signed on to a new ABC comedy slated to premiere in 2013.
ABC has confirmed a Variety report that Fonda will star in the tentatively-titled Now What? from Pushing Daisies scribe Abby Gewanter. The plotcenters on a young woman who tears into her mother with a very public blog post listing the reasons that she hates her. The mother (played by Fonda) subsequently moves in with her daughter in order to settle their differences. Chaos ensues.

Coming off last night’s ratings high for the sophomore series (1.75 million viewers at 10 p.m) — not to mention one heck of a plot twist — the Emmy-winning drama series starring Claire Danes and Damian Lewis will begin production on season 3 in spring 2013.

Has the legal drama’s steamy Kalinda/Nick plot gone too far? Maria Elena Fernandez and I debate the merits and flaws of this season’s most polarizing storyline on The Good Wife. At The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "The Good Wife: Has Season 4’s Kalinda Storyline Gone too Far?" in which Maria Elena Fernandez and I offer up a he said/she said-style discussion on the Kalinda/Nick storyline on Season 4 of The Good Wife. Archie Panjabi’s Emmy-winning turn as Kalinda Sharma has been one of the highlights of CBS’ stellar legal drama, The Good Wife. But something happened on the way to fleshing out the fiercely independent investigator’s storyline—and not everyone is thrilled about it. Entertainment Weekly’s TV critic Ken Tucker last week criticized the show’s handling of the twisted dynamic between Panjabi’s Kalinda and Marc Warren’s Nick.
