Pete Hammond's Notes On The Season column explores the Emmy chances of a posthumous win for Chadwick Boseman in his most famous role, and a first time win ...

“But its post-pandemic, and I think I’m going to be able to socialize with a lot of the people that I had so much fun making this show with. So another great part of going to the Emmys is that I’m going to see a lot of people. … I think I just have to let go and just have fun because there are so many things that the whole show is nominated for. And it is more interesting, especially for an actor, because you have so much more to do, so much more to learn about your character. It is a wacky premise that has caught on, and Boseman was thrilled to be part of it not only in the key episode he dominates and for which he is Emmy nominated, but also as part of a couple of other episodes in Season 1. And so, it was not the depth so much, not the frequency, but the mouth shape. And as an audience member I want to invest eight hours into somebody’s story because you get so much more out of it, and it seems like everybody seems to feel that way, so there’s just more TV than there are movies being made. “Now, the idea that the Emmys are happening in September and she’s also going to be sentenced in September is not lost on me. So I researched that a little bit, and then I came to realize that it didn’t matter where it came from when it started, it just had to be present at all times. “It just gets weirder and weirder, and I don’t know if I’m, as an actor, done with her story because I just had such a good time doing it, but also as a spectator, as somebody who’s empathetic to the things she’s going to have to go through separate from how I feel about her choices. “It’s a shame he’s no longer with us, but he would be enjoying this moment, just for the recognition of this for this character,” Andrews said. Oh well, the long, long Emmy season is about to end and give way to the long, long Oscar season, which will be going full force as [Emmys](https://deadline.com/tag/emmys/) are handed out and Oscar contenders are being unveiled for the first time at the fall film festivals in Venice, Telluride and Toronto.
