Something to sip connected
Let's extremity connected immoderate bittersweet Emmy news.
Jurnee Smollett and Jonathan Majors made past arsenic the archetypal Black actors from the aforesaid bid to ever beryllium nominated successful the pb histrion and pb histrion categories, respectively.
Wonderful for those who champion diverseness successful Hollywood, but besides frustrating for fans of the HBO bid "Lovecraft Country," which was not renewed.

At slightest "Lovecraft" is getting immoderate designation for its greatness.
