Yes, Elizabeth Holmes Was A Criminal, But She Was A Victim Too We have had more than our fair share of limited series dealing with the rise and fall of so many corporate monsters this season. Dopesick, one of the favorites for Limited Series this year, deals with the consequences…

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE Gratuitous Hamilton dig here, but actually that wasn’t as bad as Supporting Actor.
