    Ted Lasso is one of my favorite TV shows for reasons I've mentioned in another thread. I'm really disappointed that Let It Go wasn't on the Ted Lasso soundtrack. There may have been licensing problems that Apple didn't want to deal with, beyond using it on the show.

    I like to see it win in best musical or comedy television series but I think The Flight Attendant will take that. Cuoco is brilliant in it. I no idea if Jason Sudeikis will win as I haven't seen any of the other shows, but I hope he does win.
