Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, the awards season podcast from Vanity Fair.

I'm Katie Rich and the deputy editor of Vanity Fair.com and I'm here with our chief critic Richard Lawson.

Hello.

Our Tina writer, Joanna Robinson.

Hi Katie.

And joining us once again, we have our TV critics Sonia Soraya.

Hi.

So, we are bringing in.

We watch a lot of television around here.

Joanna is our foremost Westworld and all things complicated on television expert,

but we needed some backup because we have a lot of Emmy stuff to talk about.

This is the last episode that we are recording that's kind of like a news base before the

Emmy nominations are announced in July.

So we wanted to basically take the opportunity to talk about what we're hoping to see on the nominations list.

The voting has already ended by the time you're going to hear this episode, so it's kind of too late to stump for those Emmy voters who may be listening.

But we just wanted to kind of

set the idea of what we'll be rooting for. The nominations are announced at a

sane hour like noon Eastern time, which is great, so we'll all be awake as we

watch our hearts get broken or not. So I wanted to just

go around the table and let us stump for whoever we want to stump for. And Joanna, I don't know, I've

decided we're going to start with you. who do you want to start something for first.

Oh this is so fun okay that I get to plant my flag on something maybe other people might pick up.
