Our top Emmy pundits are abandoning ship — and that ship is unfortunately Laurie Metcalf. The star had been sitting pretty in second in our Best Comedy Supporting Actress predictions, but after “Roseanne”’s shocking cancellation Tuesday following Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, Metcalf has slipped to fourth place.
Metcalf was — and still is — the only regular cast predicted to be nominated before the cancellation. Barr has fallen from seventh to 11th in Best Comedy Actress and John Goodman is still in eighth place in Best Comedy Actor. The show itself plummeted from eighth to 13th place in Best Comedy Series, where it’s never been nominated.

2018 will be Angela Lansbury’s year at long last — or at least most of you hope so. The 18-time Emmy loser will win her overdue first trophy this year for “Little Women,” 73 percent of our readers say. The other 27 percent, however, feel the 92-year-old legend will be a bridesmaid yet again.
But first, Lansbury has to snag the nomination. As grand dame matriarch Aunt March on the upcoming PBS miniseries, Lansbury will be vying to make the Best Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actress shortlist. She is in fourth place in our early odds behind champ Laura Dern (“Twin Peaks”), Penelope Cruz (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”) and Nicole Kidman (“Top of the Lake: China Girl”). One Editor, Chris Beachum, and three of our Top 24 Users, Max, Kevin Dillon and Nathan Taylor, are calling her for the win.

John Travolta says “Let It Go,” an inside look at PrEP, Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade compromise fails
Stephen Fry is set to host a musical gay wedding for Channel 4 to celebrate the beginning of marriage equality. The couple, Benjamin Till and Nathan Taylor are writing the music for the special themselves.
Can you guess the heavy metal crotch? The 1980s MTV really should have been in high definition.
Gawker has a fascinating (and long) story about PrEP from an author that tried it for a while, based on the behavior that he said was “always safe” with some slipups. It’s a great piece on condoms vs. PrEP, Truvada shaming, effectiveness, and the fact that if condoms were actually working, we wouldn’t be looking for things like PrEP with Truvada. The poor author is being slut shamed in the comments brutally for having an honest discussion.
