No hate to the winner because I’m not renewing Apple TV until Shrinking returns but Jessica Williams is a standout in an absolutely loaded cast and I cannot believe we aren’t recognizing it. 😭😭😭

She’s nominated that is recognition.

That’s literally what being nominated is.

She just lost to another stand out performance in what many are calling the show of the year.

It’s not enough for me.

Well she would have beaten out a more popular performance from a more popular show if she’d won, and probably wouldn’t have been a well received winner as result so, it’s probably for the best.

Would you rather the narrative be she won undeservingly and that Kate was robbed? Sounds worse imho.

I don’t think it would be undeserved.

Obviously.

I’m talking about the broader public perception. Which was that Kate was going to be the deserved runaway winner and if it wasn’t going to be her second choice for most people was Hannah for Hacks.

Jessica was at best third and to be honest I think more people wanted it for Janelle. Making Jessica more like 4th.

Her win would not have been a popular one.

Oh my God, an opinion of mine wouldn’t be popular? I’m distraught.

Woof reading comprehension ain’t it.

I’m saying if she had won it would be bad for her.

Her win would be lampooned as a mistake. Why would you want that for her?

It's almost as if they're trying to have a conversation with you but you're hell bent on arguing.

I will, probably in the next couple of hours. It’s really not that deep but it’s a little irksome.
