Tuesday morning, Leslie Jones along with Laverne Cox, Josh Gad, Tatiana Maslany and television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma announced the nominations for the 72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
The award presentation (which will most likely be produced and given-out virtually due to COVID-19, although no final decision has been revealed) is set to air on Sunday night, September 20th live on ABC and will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who will also serve as the shows executive producer along with Reginald Hudlin.
Netflix leads the nominations with 160 nods, followed by HBO with 107 nominations.

Watch below this morning’s announcements in several of the major categories below. Then let us know in the comment section, if you agree with the nominations or did you favorites snubbed?
I am Shocked absolutely stunned that Tom Pelphrey was not nominated for Ozark he was the reason to watch season three! Indeed a head scratcher.

James Malnar
Really was hoping for Better Things to get nominated along with Pamela Adlon, though I do believe Better Things is in a category all it’s own.
Guest
JAYNE JANE
DISAPPOINTED THE SHOW & STARSFROM YELLOWSTONE,,,,,NO NOMINATIONS!!!!
Guest
Satan
You’re probably one of the very few mortals who watches Yellowstone. It’s a good show, but it got buried on that Paramount network that most of the cable companies moved into the high priced digital tiers, once the channel morphed over from “Spike TV”.
Now that the first two seasons are streaming on Peacock, I’m thinking they might find a new audience. If they put the third season on there soon, they might actually get some nominations next year. (No spoilers, I haven’t seen Season 3 yet myself, but I plan to remedy that situation within the next week or two)

As an entertainment non could compare, Tina won nine Grammy Award and sold over 200 million albums. She rose to fame in the 1960s as the centerpiece of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Turner was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Her relationship with Ike Turner and her trials, tribulations and success where made into a 1993 movie, “What’s Love Got To Do With It” which starred Angela Bassett. That film was based on her 1986 moving and harrowing memoir, “I Tina”.
There was no greater pop comeback story, when at 44 years old, she released the iconic album, Private Dancer, which featured hit after hit and gave Tina the push to have an even greater second-half to her 60 year career.

Before concert and performing retirement at age 69, she was still tearing it up with her dance moves like no one else.
Some of her greatest hits include: “The Best,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “Better Be Good to Me” and of course, “Proud Mary” and “River Deep Mountain High.”
Turner had iconic film and TV including as the Acid Queen in Tommy (1975) and as Aunty Entity in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). On television, she was always a guest and featured on variety shows, MTV, and in commercials and more.

Kin Shriner Says He’s Been Written Out at GH and Shares: “Thank You General Hospital Fans For Decades of Supporting Me!”
May 17, 2023
Out of nowhere, long-running General Hospital vet, Kin Shriner, shared on his Twitter account Tuesday morning that the soap opera which he has called home, on and off for 45 years, has written him off the show.
That would mean, coming up in story, Shriner’s Port Charles alter-ego, Scott Baldwin is somehow exiting the canvas.
In his tweet, Shriner expressed: “I just found out Scotty was written out, I thank U General Hospital fans for decades of supporting me!”
Many are finding this hard to believe, in part, because back in December of 2021 Shriner tweeted, “Scotty’s run is done, so heading to Florida to ride Vespa around the tropics!” Eventually, Kin was back at GH.
The last long period of time that Kin was away from GH was a five-year absence until Scott was back in Port Charles in February of 2013.
No word yet from the show itself, confirming the news put out by Shriner. If this is all said and done, we firmly believe Scott will have to come to Port Charles at some point.
Shriner remains one of the all-time favorites of the iconic soap opera currently celebrating its 60th year on the air.
So, what do you think about Kin stating that he is being written off of GH? Comment below.
General Hospital favorite, Haley Pullos (Molly Lansing-Davis) told Soap Opera Digest last week, via a statement, that she was taking a break from taping new episodes at the ABC daytime drama, because she was recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident.
However, news this morning from TMZ, indicates there was much more to the story. Now, it turns out, Pullos was arrested for a felony DUI after allegedly causing a major freeway crash.
The police investigation revealed Haley was driving on a freeway in Pasadena on April 29 when she swerved, flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic. She ended up colliding head-on with another car that was going about 60 mph.The report goes on to say that when police arrived on the scene, Pullos was unable to exit her vehicle until firefighters could get to her and then into a waiting ambulance. But, Police say while the firefighter was assessing her injuries, Haley struck him and shouted, “This is a $400 f***ing shirt!” Things got even worse for the actress when the cops found weed edibles and mini-bottles of tequila in her car.From their accounts, Pullos showed showed clear signs she’d been driving under the influence, noting the smell of alcohol on her breath, her slurred speech, and watery eyes. In addition, they say Haley was aggressive and fought the hospital staff, so much so, they had to sedate her,
While at the hospital, Pullos was arrested for felony DUI. Sadly, the other driver is still hospitalized and recovering from major injuries. Making matter seven worse, the police relate that this was not the first collision caused by Haley as she was involved in another hit and run collision prior to her freeway crash.
What do you think about the news on Haley’s crash and her DUI? Let us know in the comment section. For now, as we previously reported, Holiday Mia Kriegel will begin her run as Molly, next week on May 22nd as we wait to see the outcome for Pullos.
