Emmy's Inside Joke

Emmy nominations are out and as usually the voting actors are voting for themselves. Actors live, work, and have relationships on the set so it is no surprise that the only they vote for is shows that reflect that. Not having normal jobs or going out in bigger circles they cannot relate to comedy from any other point of view. that explains Episodes. Louie and Girls are more about the real life stars not that actual shows.

OUTSTANDING COMEDY - Really does not matter as none of these shows are laugh-out-loud
30 Rock - Funny
The Big Bang Theory - Funny
Girls - Not Funny
Louie - Not Funny
Modern Family - Funny
Veep - Funny

OUTSTANDING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Laura Dern, Enlightened - Never seen
Lena Dunham, Girls - Not Funny
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie - Funny but more of a drama
Tina Fey, 30 Rock - Funny
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep - Funny

Louis CK, Louie - Funny-ish
Don Cheadle, House of Lies - Funny more of a drama

Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory - Funny

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY - The best acting is in this category
Mayim Bialik, The Big Bang Theory - Funny should win
Jane Lynch, Glee - Funny
Julie Bowen, Modern Family - Funny
Merritt Wever, Nurse Jackie - Funny
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock - Funny
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family - Funny
Anna Chlumsky, Veep - Funny

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Adam Driver, Girls - Not Funny
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family - Funny
Ed O’Neill, Modern Family - Funny
Ty Burrell, Modern Family - Funny
Bill Hader, Saturday Night Live - Funny should win
Tony Hale, Veep - Funny

OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Molly Shannon, Enlightened - Never seen
Dot-Marie Jones, Glee - Funny
Melissa Leo, Louie - Never saw
Melissa McCarthy, Saturday Night Live - Funny
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live - Funny
Elaine Stritch, 30 Rock - Funny

OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Bob Newhart, The Big Bang Theory - Funny should win
Nathan Lane, Modern Family - Funny
Bobby Cannavale, Nurse Jackie - Serious drama
Louis CK, Saturday Night Live - Funny
Justin Timberlake, Saturday Night Live - Funny
Will Forte, 30 Rock - Funny

Now while the comedies are more dramatic the dramas are deep dramas.

Update for Update's Sake

List of awards and nominations received by Mod...Image via Wikipedia
It's not that I'm overwhelmingly busy at work more like TV has not been inspiring.


Emmys
Lots of great winners especially Modern Family for best comedy.
Shame that Mad Men won again seeing how I can't seem to get into the show.


Futurama
They should have kept it canceled. They have lost that edge.





Royal Pains, Rescue Me
Both shows have been stretching out their season beyond reason and with weak storylines this is not good.


As The World Turns
Well in a few weeks this longest running soap/TV serial/radio drama will end and they have been wrapping up storylines left and right.
Special guest, memorials for those who have passed, and lots of clips from over 50 years have been sprinkled throughout the final episodes.
I can only hope they end with dignity.

Emmys Anyone

8:07pm Neil Patrick Harris sung something funny and did some nice jokes about theme songs. Nice to see him hosting since after Doogie Howser I thought he was a goner.

I may switch to the Giants game so I'll keep that in blue.

8:12pm Kristin Chenoweth won for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Pushing Daisies
Damn good she was the best and that show was the best.

8:26pm Jon Cryer won for Best Supporting Actor for Two & Half Men not a bad decision.

Jordin Sparks sung the national anthem, she was very okay. Former Pres George Bush flipped the coin and no surprise the Cowboys won.

8:33pm Toni Collette outstanding actress in a comedy for United States of Tara which is blah at best.

Just in case you think I can't split again I'm also doing an engineering report in another window.

Giants settle for 3 points, by the the way the Jets did win this afternoon.

8:42pm Best directing went to some The Office episode which I don't watch, not funny.

A great shot of Bush and Madden as newly retired. No Jessica Simpson mentions yet.

8:50pm Alec Baldwin outstanding lead actor in a comedy for 30 Rock, blah.

Dang the cowboys scored 6 +1.

9:00pm Jeff Probst won for best hosting, no surprise.

Giants score 7 on an interception, they show the Cowboys owner picking his nose then the Giants recover a fumble.

9:09pm Amazing Race won for best reality-competition, no surprise.

9:12pm TV Movie actors but I don't watch them so back to football, crud commercials, back to the report then.

Giants up by 13 to 7.

9:21pm More Mini-Series/Movies that I never watched.

Dang the cowboys scored 14 to 13 now.

9:30pm Dr. Horrible bit was funny.

9:54pm Writers for variety shows are always funny and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart won so good for him.

My word there are a lot of British and Australian actors portraying Americans on our TV shows.

Juggling catch by the Giants puts on top 20 to 14, a 3 pointer now has it at 20 - 17. They keep showing the stadium's 160 feet 4 sided TV, it looks so dangerous.

10:08pm Ricky Gervais just insulted everyone in the room and at home. The Daily Show won again and Stewart wants to go back stage and watch the Giants game.

10:20pm Micheal Emerson from Lost won for best supporting actor. Greatest choice possible. His wife works on True Blood.
Cherry Jones from 24 as the President won for best supporting actress.

In Memoriam with live singing by Sarah Mclachlan.
99% were true stars, so many.

Cute putting the two guys who played vampires together, Stephen Moyer and David Boreanz.

10:40pm Glenn Close won for Damages as lead actress in a drama series. Blah.

10:49pm Bryan Cranston won for Breaking Bad lead actor in a drama series, very good the man is great in everything he does.

10:53pm 30 Rock outstanding comedy series, Weeds should of won or even Family Guy.

Dang gummit Dallas is winning.

11:01pm Mad Men outstanding drama series, ehhh I would have gone with Breaking Bad.

3 minutes over time, Emmys were OK overall.

And with 4 seconds left on the clock the Giants win 33-31.

TV Squad Win


Actually I won a few times from TV Squad since it's beginnings.

One early contest(c. 2006) netted me $100 (although I wanted the iPod they sent a check) for highest rated comments. Now most of their contest hold no prizes but they do have lots of giveaways.

Several times for this Subtle Subtitles and I think a few others. I didn't track them all but I will from now on because it fills a void in my life.

I have won multiple times in a row so go on TV Squad and dare to challenge this week's contestants.

Kyle XY and others

Kyle XY is back tonight, along with Prison Break.

The Golden Globes was on last night. Does anyone care?
No, good.Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Some good news Extras won for best comedy/musical.
David Duchovny won for best actor in a comedy/musical.
Califorincation is a great show despite the name controversy.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles: Pilot
It starts a while after Terminator 2 in 1999 and of course John Conner the whiny savior is being hunted by robots from the future. John, his mom, and their pet robot all start causing trouble. They can't find Skynet so they travel to the year 2007 and see each other naked.

The show was actual quite watchable. It went by fast and did not completely suck. It would have been nice to them in the past going through history but that maybe coming in future episodes.
What is known is that in 2011 Skynet wakes up and is cranky.

Emmy Joke

Award shows always bore me this one seems no different.

They ignored great shows like Dexter and Friday Night Lights.

Here is my take on certain nominees. Last year I got 2 out of 14 right so my opinion carries no weight.

'Boston Legal'
'Grey's Anatomy'
'Heroes'
'House' --Should Win
'The Sopranos' --Probably Will Win

Best Series, Comedy

'Entourage'
'The Office'
'30 Rock'
'Two And A Half Men' --Should Win
'Ugly Betty' --Probably Will Win

Emmy Voters Hate TV

Start with the a bad decision

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback)
Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine)----Winner
Stockard Channing (Out of Practice)
Debra Messing (Will & Grace)

Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) should of won and I was in shock that once again she gets overlooked.


The Emmys hosted by Conan O'Brian was great and finished on time, hell early. His opening skit running through different shows was great especially the House visit.


OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Was won by that Megan Mullally (Will and Grace) even though Jamie Pressly (My Name Is Earl) is clearly better.

Then 3 straight shows won that I never watch, Huff, Entourage and West Wing.

The Daily Show won two, Tony Shalhoub-Monk also won.

The great Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: SVU) won and she told everyone that her baby's name is August, a boy.

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES-24-Yes
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES-Kiefer Sutherland (24)-Yes
OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES-The Office-NO, over Arrested Development is ridiculous.

I hate the award shows mostly because the real actors get overlooked over secret Hollywood agendas. Of the 13 categories I care about 7 were wrongly awarded and six were okay.
