Matt pours on the oily charm (matched only by the slick sheen atop his shoe-polish black hair) when he sees an able-bodied partner in the younger, skilled Sweat.

Matt and an accomplice stuffed their elderly boss in a car trunk, torturing and killing him. Matt’s such a smooth talker and talented painter that he’s won over most of the jail’s correctional officers despite their knowledge of the heinous crime that landed him in prison.
Escape from dannemora sunda series#
Nominated for 12 awards, including lead actor, lead actress and supporting actor, nothing short of a nuclear meltdown or gross miscarriage of justice should (or could) stop Showtime’s gripping prison drama “Escape at Dannemora” from sweeping the limited series categories.īut the drama and its cast are competing with the nuclear power of HBO’s “ Chernobyl” and the powerful rebuke against systemic racism that is Netflix’s “ When They See Us,” not to mention FX’s “Fosse/Verdon” and HBO’s “Sharp Objects.” So the Showtime masterpiece’s chances of a sweep, or even a few significant wins, are about as likely as “Russian Doll’s” excellent Natasha Lyonne besting “Veep’s” untouchable Julia Louis-Dreyfus.ĭel Toro is quietly terrifying as the charming sociopath who flashes a smile one minute then growls the next. That’s right, it’s time to take a swig from that half-empty glass and lament all of your favorite performers and programs that most certainly won’t be honored because they’re up against the final seasons of “Game of Thrones” or “Veep” or a new “can’t-miss!” series that you missed because you were watching that other “must-see!” sensation. The envelopes may still be sealed, but it’s no secret that the 71st Primetime Emmys will dole out as much heartache as hoopla when dozens of television’s best shows and performers don’t win Sunday during the host-free ceremony at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater.
