I think GOT is the only show on HBO that will go 6+ in seasons.

OZ.

You need to go back and do your homework because BE won tons of awards for the first two seasons (even a Grammy), and then it slowed down a bit.

And Buscemi won a bunch himself.

It almost certainly had nothing to do with critical acclaim since it got tons, and more to do with poor ratings and expensive costs. They did the same thing with Deadwood and Rome which both had tons of critical acclaim (HBO even admitted cancelling Rome was a bad idea).

Can't believe I missed this....and another one I need to address.

It got 18 Primetime Emmy nominations and only won Outstanding Directing. It's been on 4 seasons and the only major Emmy win it has is Supporting Actor, once. It got 7 additional awards from The Creative Arts Emmys which ain't even part of the main show.

The vast majority of it's awards are for technical shyt. Let's put it like this, if you seriously think this is "a ton of awards" compare it to something like "Mad Men", which has a separate Wiki entry just for it's awards.

You're statement is laughable. You don't know how HBO works. Newsroom doesn't get great ratings. It should technically be cancelled. HBO is keeping it on. And if you don't think the Newsroom is expensive you are a fool. lol

They announced the end of "Newsroom" 3 days after you posted this. Now who's the fool?

season 5 is gonna skip five years, so 1929. prohibition ends in 1933, thought thats how they wouldve ended it but i guess not.

latest news is its ending in 1931.

While talking to Michael K. Williams during a press day for The Purge: Anarchy (which we will have a full interview for closer to that movie’s release), the subject of the final season of Boardwalk Empire inevitably came up, and Williams told me something very, very interesting— Boardwalk Empire Season 5 is going to have a seven-year time jump to 1931.

“The storyline has jumped seven years [into the future], which is why I have the beard now,” Williams said when asked about what we can expect from Season 5. “The Depression has set in. The days of the shiny shoes and fancy suits are long gone.”

Williams also elaborated further about the fate of his character on Boardwalk Empire, the fascinatingly enigmatic Chalky White, the neighborhood godfather for Atlantic City’s 1920s African-American population and the MVP of Season 4. Things have seemed to take an obvious turn for Chalky in those seven years after the death of his daughter in the Season 4 finale.

“It ended very badly for Chalky last year,” Williams said. “His family life is no more, and he is desperately seeking Dr. Narcisse to settle old scores.”

When I urged him on further by asking if he would then have any scenes this season with Jeffrey Wright, who played the antagonistic Narcisse in Season 4, Williams just smiled and said, “I hope so. I’m a huge fan of Jeffrey, and I really enjoy working with him.” As tight-lipped as a bootlegger who can see Repeal on the horizon, Williams simply left it at that.
