As you have already read, Bruce Miller ‘handed over day-to-day oversight to Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang’ for the season 6 of The Handmaid’s Tale.

Recap of their work as screenwriters on the serie about Osblaine.

Yahlin Chang

🎬 S2E10 - The Last Ceremony

01. June begins feeling contractions.

Nick throws open its doors of the ambulance.

He is exactly who she wants to see. He helps her up the stairs.

In public, she can feel his arm around her. She can feel him holding her hand.

02. Nick and Eden:

- I am your wife! You just caught me cheating on you! You should care!

It is the handmaid. You like her. Why do you like her?

- You are not making any sense.

Eden, I would never get involved with a handmaid. It would be suicide.

03. June sees Hannah at the Lake House.

After, after her daughter leaves she is devastated. Nick comforts her.

🎬 S3E03 - Useful

01. June discovers Nick is now a Commander.

02. Nick comes to say goodbye to June:

- You will get killed.

- I wanted to say goodbye.

- Goodbye.

03. June saves the life of five women. They will become Marthas:

- An engineer, an IT tech, a journalist, a lawyer and a thief.

🎬 S4E07 - Vows

01. June and Luke talk about Hannah at the hotel.

02. June rocks Holly (Nichole):

- You are amazing. You know that? So, so amazing. [...]

I also want you to know that your daddy and I love you so much. Your first daddy.

03. June and Luke "have sex".

🎬 S5E08 - Motherland

01. Nick cares about June. He asks to Joseph:

- Which way is June leaning?

02. We have a glimpse of the doll Nick offered to his daughter.

03. June to Luke:

- What are you gonna do?

Are you just gonna do the same thing you have done for the last seven years?

Fucking nothing?

Yahlin also wrote:

🎬 S2E04 - Other Women

01. June is back at Waterford's house after the Boston Globe.

02. June is broken. She becomes Offred:

Hi! I haven't played the sims since april 2022 (i missed a LOT!) and i was wondering if your keane, yahline and yahline2 eyes still work? I'm a little hesitant to start the game in case my sims' eyes revert to the ea default or something like that (i can't remember why but i once had the problem that all sims suddenly had brown eyes and i had to change them one by one 😓). I saw you added eyes for infants so i thought it best to ask about the others first 😁 they are the only cc i use for eyes and i love them, i don't want to go back to the ea eyes lol

Hey dear, welcome back to the Sims community! Yes all of my eyes are working fine. You just need to re-download them. I'm so glad you like them, thank you <3

250(ish) Favorite Arrowverse Episodes: Part 1: 250-226

Picked from „Arrow“, „Black Lightning“, „Supergirl“, „Legends of Tomorrow“, „The Flash“, „Barwoman“ Season 1+2 and „Superman & Lois“ Season 1+2. I did consider kicking „Superman & Lois“ of this list, but since it pretended to be part of the Arrowverse for its first two seasons I left it on here.

  250. Loyal Subjekts (Superman & Lois 1x9)

9, Written by: Andrew N. Wong. Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton

 "Everything you're doing is gonna stop."

"That's exactly what your friend Lois Lane keeps saying to me. You can't make it happen any more than she can."

5, Written by: Yahlin Chang, Ted Sullivan, Directed by: Thor Freudenthal

 "Fascinating theory. Unprovable, but worth exploring. I suspect that whoever is responsible for these attacks might be curious about you, Supergirl. What is she made of? How does she do it?"

 248. Swan Thong (Legends of Tomorrow 5x14)

82, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Morgan Faust, Directed by: Kevin Mock

 "Hall of Bad Ideas".

 247. Killer Frost (The Flash 3x7)

53, Written by: Judalina Neira, Andrew Kreisberg, Brooke Roberts, Directed by: Kevin Smith

 "Like you helped your mother? Or Wally? Or me? You keep messing with everyone's lives, wrecking everything, and we're left behind to pick up the pieces from your mistakes. Some things you break can't be put back together!"

 246. The Curse of the Earth Totem (Legends of Tomorrow 3x12)

45, Written by: Grainne Godfree, Ubah Mohamed, Directed by: Chris Tammaro

 "Take a look around. You think these people give a damn about consequences? Take the night off. A true pirate doesn't live for tomorrow, they only live for the moment."

106, Written by: Barbara Bloom, Jenny Lynn, Directed by: Mary Lambert

37, Written by: Wendy Mericle, Beth Schwartz, Directed by: Nick Copus

 "I'm not trying. I am. Where are you? Are you home? Are you safe? Somewhere you think you're safe? Somewhere without windows for anyone to creep through? Underground, perhaps? You think no one can get to you? You think no one can touch you in the safety of your hidey-hole? But I can."

 240. Plastique (The Flash 1x5)

5, Written by: Aaron and Todd Helbing, Brooke Elmeier, Directed by: Dermott Downs

 "For a guy who has experienced his fair share of mysteries, one mystery I still can't figure out is why some people come into our lives. Why some people go, and others become a part of you. Some friendships feel like they'll last forever. And others end far too soon. Not every friendship is meant to last a lifetime. What does last forever is the pain when that person is gone."

 239. Dark Waters (Arrow 4x9)

78, Written by: Wendy Mericle, Ben Sokolowski, Directed by: John Behring

134, Written by: Sam Chalsen, Lauren Certo, Directed by: Alexandra LaRoche

 "So you're a selfish jerk. Hmm. You think that I wasn't? That we all weren't? Hell, when I met this team, I was working for Zoom. H.R. lied. Sherloque... kept secrets. We all came here broken men. Thanks to Team Flash, eventually we learned to be better. That's why I believe in you, Nash. There's a good man in there somewhere. You just need to dig him up, let him breathe."

 234. Nip/Stuck (Legends of Tomorrow 4x14)

MR ROBOT WATCHME FULL

The Handmaid’s Tale, Written by Marissa Jo Cerar, Yahlin Chang, Nina Fiore, Dorothy Fortenberry, Jacy Heldrich, John Herrera, Lynn Renee Maxcy, Bruce Miller, Kira Snyder, Eric Tuchman Hulu The Crown, Written by James Graham, David Hancock, Peter Morgan Netflix Nominations in the film categories will be announced on Monday, January 6th and the WGA Awards will be held on Saturday, February 1st.

MR ROBOT WATCHME FULL

The shows that were nominated include HBO’s fantastic Barry, Netflix’s brilliant Russian Doll, and newcomer PEN15 from Hulu.Ĭheck out the full list of WGA TV nominations below. On the comedy side, Fleabag was not nominated, but this was no snub-the series is ineligible because creator/writer/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is not part of the WGA. The show was completely shut out from the WGA nominations. The biggest surprise in the drama category was the lack of recognition for Game of Thrones, which won the Best Drama Series Emmy award for its divisive final season. The David Fincher series feels a bit like an underdog and the excellent first season was essentially ignored by awards voting bodies, but thankfully the show’s also-excellent Season 2 drew notice from the WGA. Critical darling Succession also made the Best Drama cut, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Netflix’s Mindhunter singled out for the show’s second season. Chief on the list is HBO’s Watchmen, which has been scoring critical raves for each episode as it also proves to be a ratings hit for the pay cable network. The Writers Guild of America announced TV nominations for the WGA Awards today, and some excellent television programs made the cut.

The Commanders wait, riveted, to see what the Handmaid will do. Nick finds this display excruciating. June has to cross the room, in front of all of them. They watch her move. Nick can’t help her. No one can.

Emmy Nominations 2021: Vanity Fair Predicts Who Will Win

A close look at every award that will be handed out during Sunday night’s broadcast, from an intense actress showdown to the potential for history to be made.

After a year of television that felt more than a little unusual given the pandemic that surrounded it, the 2021 Emmy Awards will be an opportunity to celebrate the shows that got us through, whether via fantastical escapism, well-costumed romance, or the optimistic wisdom of a certain football coach. Just like last year, Vanity Fair’s experts have their eyes on a specific trio of shows—this year it’s The Crown, Ted Lasso, and The Queen’s Gambit—to take home the bulk of the prizes, but there is also plenty of room for surprise. Will The Handmaid’s Tale be the comeback kid? Will the final season of Pose soar to the top? Was it really Agatha all along? Read ahead to find out, and tune in to the Emmy Awards on Sunday night to see if we got it right.

A guide to Hollywood��s biggest races

DRAMA SERIES

The Boys Bridgerton PREDICTED WINNER: The Crown The Handmaid’s Tale Lovecraft Country The Mandalorian Pose This Is Us

In the culmination of its long, triumphant awards season, Netflix’s The Crown should finally win the top prize for its acclaimed fourth season. The period drama has won every equivalent precursor, from awards given by key industry guilds like the PGA and SAG to those given by notable outside groups at the Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes, and found an entirely new audience with its rich rendering of the Charles-Diana saga. In the time since its airing, a serious challenger has not emerged to overtake it, even with the support for Pose’s final season or the sheer popularity of The Mandalorian. It’s time for The Crown to finally take the, well, you know. —David Canfield

ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Sterling K. Brown, This Is Us Jonathan Majors, Lovecraft Country PREDICTED WINNER: Josh O’Connor, The Crown Regé-Jean Page, Bridgerton Billy Porter, Pose Matthew Rhys, Perry Mason

Tighter than it first appeared, this race comes down to two very different contenders. The smart money may actually be on Billy Porter, considering the overall Emmy performance of Pose for its final season—the FX drama has already won three trophies this year via the Creative Arts awards—and the fact that Porter has already won this category. He’s nominated again for a true showcase of a season that’s hard to deny. But as Schitt’s Creek proved last year, the Emmys love a sweep, and The Crown—with its deep ensemble and clear overall front-runner status—looks tailor-made for one. Josh O’Connor stepping into the series’ center with his indelible Prince Charles is likely to find embrace amid the wave. —David Canfield

ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

Uzo Aduba, In Treatment Olivia Colman, The Crown PREDICTED WINNER: Emma Corrin, The Crown Elisabeth Moss, The Handmaid’s Tale Mj Rodriguez, Pose Jurnee Smollett, Lovecraft Country

Emma Corrin’s devastating breakout turn as Princess Diana sits comfortably atop this list—which feels a bit strange to say, given that she’s surrounded by awards heavyweights like Oscar winner (and costar!) Olivia Colman and multi-Emmy winners Uzo Aduba and Elisabeth Moss. But so it goes. And in fact, her chief competition is probably another first-time nominee—Mj Rodriguez, repping the surging Pose and having already made history as the first trans nominee in the category’s existence. Will voters jump at the opportunity to make even more history? It’s a long shot, but don’t count her out. —David Canfield

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Giancarlo Esposito, The Mandalorian O-T Fagbenle, The Handmaid’s Tale John Lithgow, Perry Mason Tobias Menzies, The Crown Max Minghella, The Handmaid’s Tale Chris Sullivan, This Is Us Bradley Whitford, The Handmaid’s Tale PREDICTED WINNER: Michael K. Williams, Lovecraft Country

Voting closed before the tragic passing of Michael K. Williams on September 6, but the actor, whose work included The Wire and Boardwalk Empire, was already predicted to win this award for his performance in HBO’s now canceled Lovecraft Country. Winners of this category are often well-respected veteran actors (Peter Dinklage, Ben Mendelsohn, John Lithgow) who voters seem to be honoring not only for their current project, but their entire body of work. And that would be the case for Williams—a five-time Emmy nominee—this time around. It would be a bittersweet way to remember a beloved member of the acting community who created some of TV’s most memorable and vulnerable characters. —Rebecca Ford

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES  

PREDICTED WINNER: Gillian Anderson, The Crown Madeline Brewer, The Handmaid’s Tale Helena Bonham Carter, The Crown Ann Dowd, The Handmaid’s Tale Aunjanue Ellis, Lovecraft Country Emerald Fennell, The Crown Yvonne Strahovski, The Handmaid’s Tale Samira Wiley, The Handmaid’s Tale

Dowd won in 2017 for her work on The Handmaid’s Tale, but with this crowded category stacked with her costars from the show, they’ll likely split the votes. And Anderson has always been the front-runner anyway for her transformative performance as Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season of the Netflix series. She already won the Globe earlier this year, and in all likelihood will beat out her own costars to take the Emmy as well. —Rebecca Ford

Bridgerton, “Diamond of the First Water,” Julie Anne Robinson Pose, “Series Finale,” Steven Canals The Crown, “Fairytale,” Benjamin Caron The Crown, “War,” Jessica Hobbs PREDICTED WINNER: The Handmaid’s Tale, “The Wilderness,” Liz Garbus The Mandalorian, “Chapter 9: The Marshal,” Jon Favreau

There’s a strong correlation between this category and the best-drama-series Emmy, which should give the edge to drama front-runner The Crown, and particularly the propulsive season four finale, “War.” But we’re spotting potential upsets in the beloved series finale for Pose and particularly the Handmaid’s Tale season four finale, “The Wilderness,” directed by Oscar-nominated documentarian Liz Garbus. Given how much The Handmaid’s Tale outperformed expectations in the nominations, we suspect this might be a place for the show to surprise again. —Katey Rich

WRITING FOR A DRAMA SERIES

Lovecraft Country, “Sundown,” Misha Green Pose, “Series Finale,” Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Steven Canals, Janet Mock, Our Lady J The Boys, “What I Know,” Rebecca Sonnenshine PREDICTED WINNER: The Crown, “War,” Peter Morgan The Handmaid’s Tale, “Home,” Yahlin Chang The Mandalorian, “Chapter 13: The Jedi,” Dave Filoni The Mandalorian, “Chapter 16: The Rescue,” Jon Favreau

Oddly enough, The Crown has never won this category, despite the dense history layered into each episode, which we suspect should give series creator Peter Morgan an edge here. For potential upsets keep an eye on Pose and the long list of heavy hitter credited writers; this is, after all, the category where Friday Night Lights and The Americans finally won after years of being overlooked. Pose is surging in Emmy attention for its final season, and you never know just how far that affection might go. —Katey Rich
