Today's award is Outstanding Technical Design of a Drama Series!
The nominees are:
9-1-1 (FOX)
THE CROWN (Netflix)
EUPHORIA (HBO)
FOR ALL MANKIND (Apple TV+)
HUNTERS (Amazon)
THE MORNING SHOW (Apple TV+)
POSE (FX)
And the Winner Is...
EUPHORIA
HBO
Euphoria is a really interesting show. It can be troubling to watch at times with the topics it explores but what is not troubling is the stunning cinematography of the show. Between its music choices and its filming style, it doesn't really look like anything else on TV. Although it has a contemporary setting, it is highly stylized in its approach to teen life and high school life. The heightened emotions of the show are matched by the heightened technical choices. Each episode felt like a mini movie. I don't want to undersell how important the music was to this show, perhaps more than any other. Where most teen shows are pretty content to just use standard contemporary music, Euphoria made more interesting choices that added to the intensity of the watching experience. This was a show with a vision and its technical design matched that.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
Once again, lots of shows that spend lots of money can be seen on this list. Two of Apple TV+'s original offerings, The Morning Show and For All Mankind show their money on the screen with very sleek and polished technical designs. The Crown painstakingly re-creates each era its set in and moved forward in time with careful attention to detail. Hunters is a pulpy, comic-book feeling show and certainly showed that in its technical choices from its wild costumes to some of its very graphic scenes. Speaking of costumes, if this was solely an award for costumes Pose would take the cake with its elaborate ballroom outfits. Finally, the only broadcast show - 9-1-1 - took on several big time disasters - a tsunami and train derailment among others and was effective at portraying those disasters without ever looking cheesy.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
