The Children was the only GoT episode submitted for Emmy consideration...so don't expect to many wins unless the voters watched the whole season.

Question: I'm at a loss to understand the reasoning of submitting "The Children" for Emmy consideration for many of the actors/actresses in Game of Thrones, when by the very nature of wrapping up the season, there were such short vignettes for most of the characters. In fact, Natalie Dormer is being submitted for Supporting Actress and she is not even in "The Children." I feel that actors like Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance never give a bad performance, but I'm not sure I feel their performance in "The Children" is the best of their work this season. Can you shed some light on the strategy of submitting that one episode for all the Emmy nominees? — Ariel

Matt Roush: Welcome to the confusion that is the Emmy nominations process. "The Children" (the season finale) made news for being the only episode the show submitted for consideration in the writing category, but that doesn't apply to which episodes the various actors will submit once nominated. (I consulted with GoldDerby awards guru Tom O'Neil, who knows much more about the process than I do, and he tells me the actors' picks haven't been announced yet. And while they do make an episode declaration during the nominations process, they are allowed to change their pick once nominated, and many do switch, I'm told.) It would indeed be perverse for Natalie Dormer to submit an episode in which she doesn't appear, but that isn't what happened here. And while there's plenty of juicy material this season for Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance to choose from this season, their final scene together could easily qualify as an Emmy reel.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
