Please share feedback here or on Discord. Strong opinions welcome! This is just the first draft, so we can certainly change things. Any glaring omissions? Should Dune be in more categories? Anything here that shouldn't be?

Can we fill out the best TV episodes category, or shall we skip it?

If we don't get much feedback on this, we may let it (mostly) stand and move on to the vote.

[Yes]

Looks solid!

For performances, since we have to narrow, I'd throw my weight like

Brian Cox, Succession
Jennifer Coolidge, The White Lotus
Jean Smart, Hacks
Anna Konkle, pen15
Maya Erskine, pen15
Martin Short, Only Murders In The Building

TV Episode I'll throw in:
"Jacuzzi", pen15
"Home", pen15
"The Watermelon", Curb Your Enthusiasm
"How To Remember Your Dreams" (Avatar Support Group), How To With John Wilson

[Jeremy Blackman]

Last call! Looking to finalize this soon.

I'll definitely toss my hat in for "How To Remember Your Dreams" (Avatar Support Group), How To With John Wilson and Maya Erskine as well ~

Mr. Inbetween was the best television I watched last year but I don't think anyone else saw it on the board so no point nominating it. It's hard for me to think of much else great TV from 2021.

Wait, wait! I nominate C'mon C'mon into Best Cinematography ^_^ hehe

Same with Underground Railroad. No competition in the tv category for me. That's the winner hands down. But I think I'm the only one here that watched it so no worries
