It is official. Great TV isn’t just on television sets anymore. The nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today, and by the numbers, Netflix reigns supreme. Even with Game of Thrones back in the running, Netflix still edged out HBO for the most nods.
The streaming site only entered the Emmy playing field four years ago and has quickly risen to the top. Last year, even without a season of Game of Thrones eligible for voting,

Pose Guest director Tina Mabry On the Groundbreaking Show
Though the month of June is Pride month, Hollywood should ideally be celebrating the LGBTQIA experience year-round, in the name of diversity.
Luckily, a new show on FX, Pose, has premiered to great acclaim, and week by week is gathering an appropriately rabid fanbase. Creator/writers Steven Canals, Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy (Murphy also directs two episodes) have built a story which takes place in 1987,

As we cross the threshold of The Door and peer into season 3, here are the biggest mysteries left after the finale. Stop now if you haven’t seen season finale, ‘The Passenger.’
Will Delos continue pursuing their lucrative enterprise?

A Brave New Westworld: Season 2 Finale Recap
With another bloody, transporting, and revelatory Westworld season finale, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy left viewers mystified and begging for more. The majority are probably scratching their heads, too.
Season finale ‘The Passenger’ was as tense and comprehensive as the series finale of most shows. The biggest reveal, surely, is that Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) has been dead for the latter timeline of the season, which chiefly follows Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) and the Delos team struggling to jog Bernard’s scrambled memory so they can find the Forge’s encryption key.
Bringing the Music of the Muppets to a New Generation of Muppet Babies
There are few American icons that have been more places, done more things, and spread more joy than the Muppets. Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, Gonzo, and of course, Kermit, are always game for an adventure. Music has always been an integral part of their career as entertainers. Andy Bean pens catchy tunes while composer Keith Horn writes the score for a younger generation of Muppets fans. And also, a younger generation of Muppets. Disney Junior relaunched Muppet Babies in March featuring the puppet heroes in toddler form.
Chucky Creator Confirms Child’s Play TV Show
