Good to see Carrie Coon on any list (she's really good in The Nest). I looked over a list of her awards and nominations, and she's won almost nothing, not even an Emmy for The Leftovers.

I've read that Small Axe is not eligible for Oscars having been submitted for TV awards, but I'm kinda thinking Amazon might try to reverse course on that.
Anyway, this group I've never heard of -- Greater Western New York Critics Association -- so seems to approximate the general consensus that it may as well mark the inevitable moment when detrius starts ossifying.

Critics need to figure out a different way to adjudicate animation; pitting Onward and Wolfwalkers against World of Tomorrow and Wolf House is just absurd.
