They were two or maybe three persons. I’m sure most Fassbender and Hiddleston fans are more rational. The same with Cumberbatch’s fans. There are a few extreme cases but most are not like that. Fassbender does 2 or 3 movies per year. He must be enjoying his honeymoon. Hiddleston said during IW promotion that he was going to take some holyday. I think that AT and MS were speaking of the ratings in numbers of viewers which are low. That is what can hurt BC's chances.

Well, they were blaming BC for their favorites not accepting new projects! The bastard is stealing their jobs! LOL I imagine Fassbender is in his honeymoon and I read that Hiddleton announced a hiatus in his career so...
The ratings thing made more sense!

I was doubting if Twin Peaks was eligible for the Critics’ Choice Award last year so I checked and it was but was completely ignored which sounded weird because it was a huge hit with respected critics then I saw this: From Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critics%27_Choice_Television_AwardIt doesn’t sound good for Patrick Melrose! Well at least BC won it when it was still relevant! Actually he won the first ever award in the category!

I refuse to get worked up over yet another award to-do. I hope he’s nominated and wins, of course, but I’m used used to seeing him lose and my poor, delicate heart can’t take another blow, lol. So I’m TRYING not to freak out over all this conjecture. Not doing very well with that. 😬

TBH I want it to win a few awards so Showtime considers it’s a good idea to released it on BluRay! They released Twin Peaks but it seems they didn’t do the same with Idris Elba’s Guerrilla, which was well received by critics but had even worst ratings and on Sundays! I hope Patrick Melrose is doing well on VOD. I think that’s their plan: to released it on Saturday and that people catch it later but probably we will never know those numbers.
I don’t know but I suspect they scheduled it on Saturdays because they really wanted it to made Emmys eligibility period. So they risked bad rating or press talking about bad ratings because these silly awards. Remember BC saying they were working really hard to finished it for May? Just a few weeks before the airing; David Nicholls said he was still working in it (helping with the edition), a couple of days before the transmission of the first episode and just after it, a crew member posted a picture of they ending the last episode. It seems to me that Showtime hurried them to made the deadline so I would say let them have it if that means I could have the region A Blu-Ray!

For whatever reason, they've hated him for years. I remember them complaining about him in TIG.

He was the Harvey Weinstein’s boy that year, the villain who would steal the award from more deserving actors. Except that he didn’t campaigned so hard as Eddie Redmayne who not just won but was more passionated hated by all these kind of fools at the end of the race.
And it began before when he won the Emmy the year he “shouldn’t”. When it wasn’t his turn. The predicted winner, I think, was Billy Bob Thornton!!!! I guess if he would had won two years before with Sherlock season 2, they would had been happy for him but he won during the backlash so he was the bad guy and Bob Thornton was the offended part! (LOL) He and maybe Mark Ruffalo who was in the gay film!

I remember that time when "The Normal Heart" was in contention- there was so much vitriol aimed a BC and others for stealing NH's awards. I'd watched it eagerly, I like a lot of the performers, and I was so disappointed. It was pretty bad. I found myself focused less on the emotional impact of the piece and more on how I'd have directed scenes differently to make them better. Given the subject matter I couldn't believe how unmoving it was. Ryan Murphy did the project no favors.
I could only imagine that its champions were pulling for it more for the subject matter than the actual film itself. (Lots of critics disagreed with me, of course LOL)

I think it was entertaining but in the shallowly melodramatic way Ryan Murphy's products are (with the exception of the OJ Simpson thing which was great!). Again Angels in America was extremely superior!
Yes, probably it was because the theme but like this year Versace series I don't think it was so acclaimed or beloved like they think (even when they were well-received). I could be wrong but it could be a surprise. Not necessarily in the form of a Patrick Melrose win, which seems to be a humble rival but any other series or actor.
