2024 Emmy Predictions

Getting in Movies and TV Shows

Back in 2017, I was going into my sophomore year at Stevens Institute of Technology. That same year, in around September, I remember MoviePass releasing at an all time low price of $9.95/month to try to spearhead the movie theater going experience to people around the country. For a college student, the price being so low was a real push for getting me into watching new movies and keeping up with things that were releasing at theaters. I remember that at that time, me and my roommates ended up going to see GeoStorm in theaters, a pretty horrible and low-budget natural disaster movie that I would have never seen if I had to pay more for it, but under the MoviePass deal ended up being a fun time. MoviePass ended up failing as a product as it was never ever able to turn a profit. It slowly got worse over the course of two years, but some of it’s effects lingered on in me. When I moved to Wisconsin in 2020 I started to get back into keeping up with the latest movies as it was something I could do to relax after a long day at work.

At this point, I try to keep up on a monthly basis with new releases for movies in theaters as well as TV shows. It feels great to find a show or movie to recommend to friends that hasn’t really exploded in popularity yet. I end up keeping a watchlist and spreadsheet of shows and movies that I plan to watch and I created a rating system for myself on IMDB to help organize my thoughts. I won’t go deep into that now, but I may make a future post around it.

What I wanted to do with this post is put my own opinions and order to the 2024 Emmy nominees that came out recently. With the event happening in a few days I wanted to compare who I would choose to win the category and rank them in terms of my own interests. I usually use events like these to see if there was a show that also slipped under my radar that I should add to my watchlist. I used the following document to fill my list below. I won’t personally choose a show that I haven’t watched, even though I think it may win. Without further ado…
