OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL MUSIC AND LYRICS

American Dad! ("The Weeknd's Dark Secret")

The Eddy (“The Eddy”)

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ("One Less Angel")

RuPaul's Drag Race ("Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical")

Succession ("L to the OG")

AND THE WINNER IS:

THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL ("ONE LESS ANGEL")

These are the first wins and nominations for Thomas Mizer & Curtis Moore for their song One Less Angel.

The more Maisel goes on the more it's turning into a musical and I proudly admit I'm not mad bout it. This season there was a lot of musical performances by Shy Baldwin and obviously the standout was One Less Angel. The song is so good you wouldn't be shocked it was a really big hit at the time just covered for the show.

ANTONELLA CANNAROZZI FOR ("THE NEW NAME"), MY BRILLIANT FRIEND

If there's a show from my entire lineup of tv watching that I wish more people were watching it is My Brilliant Friend. The show while already great in it's first season had a major step in it's second entering into from a design prospect my favourite decades the mid 20th century.The costumes were wonderfully colourful like most of the show and throughout this season I was loving all the design.

OUTSTANDING CASTING FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Carmen Cuba for Mrs. America

Louise Kiely & Karen Scully for Normal People

Alexa L. Fogel for Pose

Avy Kaufman for Succession

Victoria Thomas for Watchmen

AND THE WINNER IS:

LOUISE KIELY & KAREN SCULLY FOR NORMAL PEOPLE

These are the first wins and nominations for Louise Kiely & Karen Scully.

It's hard to deny how great Normal People was and of course one of the most exciting elements was the discovery of so many new talents. Maybe the fact that a lot of the actors featured are Irish is what's most thrilling for me but honestly the show was cast so well from the smallest of roles that I had no choice but to reward these women for great casting.

OUTSTANDING DIRECTING FOR A VARIETY, MUSIC OR COMEDY SERIES/SPECIAL

Glenn Weiss for 73rd Annual Tony Awards

Dime Davis for A Black Lady Sketch Show

Andre Allen for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Paul Pennolino & Christopher Werner for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Hamish Hamilton for Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show Starring Jennifer Lopez And Shakira

AND THE WINNER IS:

DIME DAVIS FOR A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW

This is the first win and nomination for Dime Davis.

If you've not watched all the episodes of Black Lady Sketch Show what is wrong with you It was easily one of the better series to premier this past season. Davis directed every episode of the season and was of course great enough to win this award I'm hoping she can somehow win because it will be so boring if someone like Don Roy King wins for the thousand time for SNL.
