Television Goodies: ‘Hairspray,’ Critics’ Choice, and Those Golden Globes

Episode 107: The Cooler Gang is joined by Jalal Haddad as they review the latest television awards.

This week at the Water Cooler, we take a deeper look at Sunday’s Critics’ Choice awards and see who emerges with a boost from the first major award show of the new Emmy season. Then, Monday brought the 2017 Golden Globe nominations. We’ll look at who received the most television nominations and what, if any, narratives can be constructed for future Emmy glory. But before that, we’ll briefly talk about last week’s Hairspray Live! and see how its awards prospects compare to previous live events.

As always, we’ll close with the Flash Forward to the television we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

Thanks to all of our listeners and thank you, in advance, for remembering to rate us on iTunes!
