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.

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.

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.

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)

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.”

Kin Shriner Says He’s Been Written Out at GH and Shares: “Thank You General Hospital Fans For Decades of Supporting Me!”

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.
