You already know. The infamous expletive uttered by the crooked Sen. Clay Davis, played by Isiah Whitlock Jr., added spice to the lawman side of HBO's "The Wire" series. On the Baltimore-based crime drama, institutions are put under the microscope, and one of the refractions of a broken political system is Whtilock's politician, said to be loosely based upon Maryland State Senator Larry Young according to journalist William Zorzi's essay in "The Wire: Truth Be Told."

Some of the biggest surprises in the 2018 Emmy nominations, which were announced on July 12, were in the races for movies and miniseries. We thought “Twin Peaks” would clean up, but while it swept Creative Arts categories and earned top noms for its writing and directing, it was snubbed for Best Limited Series and in all acting categories — no Kyle MacLachlan or Laura Dern! Our forum posters were also shocked by the absence of Al Pacino (“Paterno”) for Best Movie/Mini Actor, and they’re up in arms over Evan Peters‘s latest snub for “American Horror Story: Cult.”
But there were bright rays of hope. Our derbyites appreciated the surprise nominations for Regina King and especially Adina Porter (“Ahs: Cult”).
