That’s because over the past two decades, Diesel has made numerous projects that I’d love to discuss like voicingThe Iron Giantearly in his career, making theRiddickmovies, being part ofBoiler Roomwith that great cast, voicing Groot in the MCU, and, of course, bringing Dominic Toretto to life in theFast and Furiousfranchise.

But if you tuned in to last night’s broadcast on Fox, you’d be hard-pressed to figure out why you should care about any of the nominees unless you had already watched them....

Sadly, her time as the titular Time Lord was hampered by poor writing,dropping ratings, and, eventually, an entire final season hit by a global pandemic. AlthoughRussell T. DaviesandNcuti Gatwa’s most recent era of the show has proven the problems facing the timey-wimey show are not contained toChris Chibnall’s time as showrunner, that still doesn’t stop many from pointing to Whittaker’s takeover as the moment the series began to rapidly decline....
