Editors' Picks: Our Favorites From the Week of Jan. 136 of 9
2019 Emmy Winner of the Week
The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards won't be handed out until Sept. 22, but we've already got a spoiler: Mahershala Ali is going to win everything. That's how staggeringly great the Oscar-winner (who might pick up his second statuette for Green Book) is on the new season of "True Detective." Ali portrays Detective Wayne Hays with equal parts ferocity and fragility, creating a character who's eternally hunting, always haunted, and exceedingly human (quite an accomplishment in Nic Pizzolatto's overwrought world of cop-show clichés). Not only that; he does it over the course of three decades! Give this man all the awards right now.
