everybody is hitting their mark and trying fun deliveries until she shows up and draws your attention with microexpressions and commands the scene from comedic to dramatic (and vice versa) so breezily you simply cannot look away. Living embodiment of how screen presence cannot be taught.

True I’m not expecting The Pitt to win either, and Andor could surprise in Writing given it has performed well below the line, but The Pitt has a clearer choice in Directing with Marsalis and the MCI episode. If it manages to overcome vote split, I would take it as a sign of strength for Series.

If The Pitt takes Writing or Directing, it wins Series with the Wyle win locked

That old quote was also in response to the question “Is there any [director] you never had the chance to work with but still would love to?” Meryl was asking him for a role! And her wry delivery doesn’t come across in print

The Pitt. Streaming on Max. Highly recommend it - 15 episodes and it will return yearly
May 13, 2025 at 4:43 AM
Not sure if it can get any supporting acting nominations which could hurt its overall chances
May 10, 2025 at 8:35 AM
Agreed. The Pitt shooting in LA and keeping all its background actors and crew hired for all 15 episodes is nothing to be sniffed at given tax incentives discussion.

One of its challenges is HBO/ Max internal competition from White Lotus and Last of Us
May 10, 2025 at 8:20 AM
Love Andor and it is deserving but if it couldn’t get nominations for Luna, Skarsgard, Shaw or even a Guest nom for Andy Serkis, it may indicate that TV academy has a genre bias against it

She’s a theatre kid. He’s a theatre kid. Roleplay is core to their existence
May 9, 2025 at 7:59 AM
I get you. His career renaissance feels in part due to more media attention because of her and being confronted with a sudden increase in “Martin Short is hot” comments is disorienting.
May 9, 2025 at 7:58 AM
Yes there are dozens of us and the actors confirmed their interaction was intentionally written to be flirty / admiring of her abilities. Hatosy used the word “intoxicating” for Abbot to be around her intellect
May 6, 2025 at 9:28 AM
Yes, he rocks the third of the season that he’s in. And the show is worth the time

The Pitt is like being on a frozen ship where the captain is a sad boy, there are rats and a malnourished looking cabin boy (played by a Welsh)? Highly recommend!

Writing for a mass audience who likely see hand sanitisers as the other product during Covid.

But hey all good suggestions and Wyle is online enough and seems receptive to feedback (he knows respiratory techs grumble at the lack of rep) and they will delve more into Covid fallout with Robby
April 19, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Noah Wyle said it was a creative decision not made lightly. The trade off for being able to see the actors’ performance was they consistently show them hand sanitising.
April 19, 2025 at 5:37 AM
that may or may not return 2 to 3 years later and has a high possibility of getting cancelled after 2 seasons. That can’t be healthy for the industry.
April 18, 2025 at 7:42 AM
I would recommend waiting for the Nielsen numbers at the finale to judge it against other dramas from this season. For sure there’s an aspect of US media wanting to write about new trends, but there’s also an aspect of them pushing for more commissioning on a regular cadence rather than 8 episodes
April 18, 2025 at 7:41 AM
prestige tv (when money was cheap) or making big money lock-ins for known showrunners, and there is room for variety for the likes of The Pitt
April 18, 2025 at 7:38 AM
The article’s point about how this blueprint dovetails with streamers’ more recent profit focused appetite given current economic environment seems realistic. Doubt execs want every tv show to pivot to this model but it shows there was a gap created by the trend of backing expensive auteurs doing
April 18, 2025 at 7:36 AM
I guess the narrative is wider than mere weekly release of a bigger season order. It’s a mid budget tv series that will return yearly, found an audience organically AND worked its way into awards conversation with its debut season in a crowded year for drama - the ROI is high by objective measures
April 18, 2025 at 7:27 AM
and said streamer isn’t even in some major territories like the UK
April 18, 2025 at 7:06 AM
is it even on HBO cable. It’s only on a streamer with less than half the subscribers of Netflix
April 18, 2025 at 7:05 AM
Not sure what articles those are but the only person who is pushed to do promo with the trades is Noah Wyle. Wouldn’t the fact that it managed to chart later in its debut season run point to a successful word of mouth spread? It doesn’t have the benefit of being on Netflix with a huge audience, nor
April 18, 2025 at 7:03 AM
it wasn’t HBO/Max’s priority (promo a fraction of what they spend on White Lotus and Last of Us), doesn’t have a big name in the cast, original IP, yet grew by word of mouth. It has just charted on Nielsen with the start of its major event arc from ep 12 & I think will keep charting to the finale
April 18, 2025 at 6:51 AM
She learnt to drive when she was 12 and actually has a rally licence. Filmmakers have yet to exploit that talent
