It's good to see them let a woman host the Emmys for a change.
-
really require two exclamation points?
-
and his star burns brighter than a gang of embarassed suns!
-
I'd rather have seen Joel McHale host. As it is, a coffee table could do a better job hosting.
I'll skip this and just watch the online clips of the awards being handed out later. -
Its about time this show got the recognition it deserved.
-
First American Idol. Then the Emmy's. And he's got Super Bowl hosting duties coming up. Where does he go from here? I'm kind of hoping it's into a rocket that we'll launch toward the sun...
-
The Creative Arts winners show was last week.
-
...best writing for a Drama...
-
...with Journey's "Don't Stop Believin"...and it just cuts to black before any of the good awards are handed out.
-
can save Heroes (or BSG) tonight from the utter inevitability of a Sopranos sweep, I fear. :(
-
Never got into "How I Met Your Mother" until last season and Neil Patrick Harris was great last season. Better than the increasingly stale antics of Johnny Drama and the already tired yelling of Ari Gold. The episode where Barney went on The Price Is Right was hilarious. The other standout episodes were Barney running the NYC Marathon and the one where we see is chick proof apartment.
And as much as I hate Seacrest, the dude's hustle is crazy. He just keeps on adding more and more shit to his resume. -
With Seacrest and Cowell.
-
how it does in Supporting Actor, which should be one of the first awards of the night, IMO. If Masi Oka wins, then Heroes *won't* win drama series, and this will be the academy's consolation prize to it. If Oka loses, however, then maybe - just maybe, Heroes has a puncher's chance to spoil David Chase and co. at the end.
-
Dwight K. Shcrute for life!!!
-
It's only a matter of time.
-
The fact that the emmy's hardly picks the right nominees is bad enough...but now that they have to ad the sexless Ryan Seacrest makes it ten times worst.
-
ANYONE but Sopranos. Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out, David Chase. Your show blocked a lot of others from being recognized for their quality *coughJenniferGarnerSarahMichelleGellaretalcough*. Edie Falco drove the virtual Brinks truck to the 2003 edition and STOLE the best drama actress that had Garner's name on it. For starters.
-
ing than the Emmy telecast itself. A sure thing, like death and taxes. :)
-
WHAT? No best supporting comedy actor nom for Stephen Merchant? He totally stole the second series of Extras from Gervais. I call bullshit!
-
and the sopranos better fucking get a clean sweep tonight and not just because of raymond's 2005 emmy crap.
-
You heard it here first... Gandolfini will beat Sutherland in a second... Falco will pull up best supporting... Impereoli (sp) won't pull anything IMO
-
Tina Fey will beat Parker for actress comedy
-
You know, Ryan Seacrest may not be Conan O'Brien, and he might be the public face of a reality talent show that basement dwelling Morlocks find beneath them because it caters to people who don't know the precise date that Zephram Cochran invented the flux capacitor. I can accept that. But stating that American Idol is not only rigged, but that anyone who doesn't think so is a "fucking moron"...well, it tends to make the reader of that statement long for the first shred of evidence. Considering that it is well known that the production company did not want Taylor Hicks to win, and were horrified at Sanjaya Malakar's continued advancement, and that the entire world was predicting Bo Bice's victory over Carrie Underwood, I would be absolutely enraptured to head Head In A Box's reasoned and researched position statement on why Fox would stake the reputation and financial future of their network on a practice which has been illegal since an ammendment to the Communications Act in 1960. Please, Captain Cylon...thrill us with your dispassionate research on the rigging of American Idol. The floor is yours. Or should I say, the floor is yours, Jackass.
-
but it doesn't deserve emmy noms. Friday Nights Lights does, on the other hand. Excellent show that no one pays attention to. Heroes, Lost, FNL, Rescue Me, and Rome would be my emmy noms for drama. I don't watch The Shield or The Wire, so I don't know how good they are.
-
Schlamme is up for directing, and it has guest star nominations, but I'd have loved to see Whitford get one for acting. I have no fucking clue how that overweight woman from "Two and a Half Men" has a nomination over Cobie Smulders from "How I Met Your Mother". As much as I love The Office (and expect it to win), I'd prefer to see Neil Patrick Harris win, as I'm sure Wilson will be up every year, whereas NPH may not. Pretty disappointed with these nominations though. Just rooting for Weeds, Office, and Schlamme, really.
-
how is this man popular? he has the personality of a plastic fork.
-
He's still riding out the popularity of his work on C|Net: The Digital Domain.
-
It's my understanding that he is the heir apparent of Larry King.
-
Just seconding cesaria's assement.
-
and to Ian McShane for Swearengen.
-
...the Emmys will trip over themselves to reward the final season so they can say "we loved it all along".
-
...look at all the Ugly Bettys piss and moan because the attractive host of a mainstream, poorly judged talent show is hosting what basically amounts to another mainstream, poorly judged talent show.
Speaking of - Williams had better win for Betty. -
I'm only rooting for NPH, I like Jeremy Piven but How I Met Your Mother is my favorite show. Disapointed that it was nominated for best comedy
-
i mean, sporks are awesome. they have several uses, whereas seacrest has none. but i can see where you were going with it.
-
Leno 0. Deservedly so. Nothing "outstanding" about it.
-
there should be a rule that no show can be nominated more than once in a single catergory. i mean look at the writing nominations, thats just sadly pathetic. at this rate, one of these days all 5 nominations will be the same show.
-
the office, entourage, daily show, and conan are also awesome. but i hope 30 rock owns this shit. cant wait for seinfeld on that show episode 1. seacrest out!
-
Seacrest to host. Hell, they should have got a rotating set of actors/actresses to present the awards. What the hell is happening? I think it is the end of the world. My dog and cat are getting along also. I am not dogging the guy. He is doing what he can for his fifteen minutes. Many do. Still, I am amazed by that they will let him host. Damn.Double Damn.Oh, hell. Triple Damn.
-
I hope that Baldwin wins for his role as well as Holland Taylor. Time the tv world gives its dues to her.
-
Jack McGee is the guy that should have got an emmy from this show. Gandolfini is pretty much a lock in the best actor category, and compared to the tired shit Kief calls acting, it's deserved.
-
leaked where he called his daughter a pig, IMO.
-
Because according to the LA Times, it came down to him and Seacrest. Laurie lost out because Fux felt Seacrest would draw a larger TV audience and because viewers "might be confused seeing Laurie in an unfamiliar role."
http://tinyurl.com/2pgb53 -
Seriously, I'd do the exact same thing in that situation probably. The last thing the world needs is another spoiled brat like Paris, and Nicole, and Lindsay, and...
-
Four words: "The Bitch is Back". Torrent it if you must, but Kristen Bell knocked it out of the park, the nearest county and into another state with the third season finale.
-
that the Pats/Chargers game will get a higher rating than this piece of shit awards show
-
tonight. It's even worse: http://tinyurl.com/2lcxn4 (a collection of 2 pages of pics)
-
checking this site out for the winners. They have better hosts than the Emmy awards.
-
goes to Mary Louise Parker. MILF !
-
Not because it necessarily deserves it for this season, but for a lifetime achievement award (a la Return of the King)

Really, it was.
-
God is he brutal. How can some so utterly devoid of a personality take over the media ? This country kind of sucks.
-
Oka? Or not Ok-a?
-
Congrats Terry O'Quinn in the meantime...
-
Great. I could have lived with O'Quinn, Emerson, or Imperioli here. Emerson is absolutely great ... but his character is easier than Locke.
-
award, fuckhead.
-
Glad to see him win and that every award isn't going to Sopranos because it was the last year for the show.
-
He won! 1 for Lost!
-
It will even take the goddamn drama categories. That's how fucking good it is.
-
what happened when Raymond was talking. Did he start cursing about Patricia Eaton or something?
-
she looks better evey time I see her. Weird. Jenna Fisher is a piece of ass too. Hope she wins for that reason alone.
-
At least Conchata Ferrell didn't win...
-
Seriously, Emmy voters are retarded. Jaime Pressly and Jeremy Piven? Really?!
-
Lorraine Bracco ? Now I remember why I don't watch this shit-bomb fest. As if Seacrest hosting wasn't enough.
-
FRACK.
-
Imperioli should have won that shit.
-
Yeah, I said it.
-
Thus far, The Sopranos is getting fucked up the ass, which is complete bullshit.
-
hot hot hot
-
His reaction to winning was funny.
-
I'm not sure which one was the best.
-
.....can frickin' sing. Brit should have a long look at this.
-
Year after year.
-
Delaware Valley REPRESENTIN'! :D
-
His win is proof God's existence.
-
Oh, sorry, wrong channel, lol.
-
is an OMSTAIN! (One More Sign The Apocalypse Is Nigh).
-
2 counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon and coercion. A conviction on the first of these winnings carries a sentence of 3-35 years for each count.
-
Better than FIRST!, bitches.
-
bitches.
-
Seriously.
-
102nd!
-
"A breather during the Roots tribute"
-
"Thank you for being here." Like they all showed up for him.
-
That would be kind of entertaining.
-
Writing and Directing in a Drama.
-
goes to the fucking Sopranos.
-
FUCK THEM TO ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN LEVELS OF HELL!
-
fuck the sopranos
may the FORGOTTEN shield shine again one day ... -
...Fuck you up your stupid ASS
-
That's what I'm talkin' about...
-
If you mean Meadow and Tony's good looking sister, then yeah, I'm game.
-
is a prick.
-
In their stampede to honor a show that didn't have half the season, quality-wise Ron and David put out. FUCK THE SOPRANOS, then.
-
Start bitching now, conservs.
-
Start bitching now, conservs.
-
Start bitching now, conservs.
-
I thought that was what Senator Larry Craig got arrested for doing in a men's room at the airport!?
-
because the minute after the Emmys are over, TV will be a better place. That's when Sopranos won't be eligible for one more Emmy or Golden Globe or TV Critics Association award. They will be DONE. Now get the fuck outta here, David Chase and take you sorry lot with you.
-
All this do-goodery bores me...
-
It's not even a real show, it's just lame generic retread sci-fi channel dogshit. You were actually surprised that that stupid fucking show got beat out by the Sopranos? Um.
-
dogpoop'. Sopranos only won because it's in its final season. Nothing other than that.
-
The Sopranos always win. They have a long history of it. A "Peabody Award," lol. Battlestar probably will also win lots of geek awards. Congrats. Now go buttfuck yourself with a Lando Calrissian action figure, geek.
-
ugliest woman on tv
-
VAPID!!!!!
-
Fuck anyone who says Fuck the Sopranos. It's in the Top 3 dramas of All Time, beeeeyatch. Only a skosh below Hill Street Blues in my mind. And for the guy who called Robert Duvall an asshole, fuck you. No one tells Tom Hagen to fuck off.
-
HOT MILF !!!
-
He's won enough awards already. The guy was culturally relevant two years ago. Stephen Colbert just got robbed.
-
The Sopranos won best drama series.
-
What is this the second coming of Christ? Its a damn tv show that couldn't even create an ending :p Never thought id say this, but bring back seacrest.
-
Stop saying frak as if it's clever and edgy, you fucking nerd cunts. This applies to "frell" and "gorram" as well.
-
Stewart or Colbert, either way, amounts to the same thing: LIBERALS 1, CONSERVATIVES 0.
-
Hot Gilf!!!
-
Could this be a first? lol
-
colbert was freakin robbbbbeeed! These monkies with their golden icons make me sick. I sweat and work doing hard labour and they sit around in their thousand dollar suits and dresses kissing golden gods. VIVA LA COMMUNISTA!
-
What a hilarious lady. That was pretty classy, inviting the music to play her off. Much better than the scatterbrained douchebags like Katherine Heigl.
-
Fuck that bullshit, these awards are about the programs in question and not lame political pissing contests. Colbert just got robbed two years in a row. At least he didn't lose to Barry Manilow this time.
-
yeah i said it so what
-
Word.
-
What are you, the cheerleader for dork tv? The Emmy's aren't voted online by dorks. The Emmy's are to honor GOOD tv shows. Not your dorky crap.
-
They stuck up a bigass graphic promoting the 10 o'clock news during Lewis' rant about shows having graphics for shows coming up next.
-
Give me a fuckin' break you nerd BITCH.
-
That is all.
-
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" is on.
-
Nobody fucking cares at all, stuff this shit at the "technical awards" show.
-
Best loss of the night.
-
This is true.
-
The Sopranos was awesome, that tribute was not. lame waste of time for a show that gets enough praise. Why cant an awards show come in under 3 hours anymore?
-
It would make the Crash v. Brokeback Mountain 2005 Oscar night talkback seem quaint in comparison. :)
-
this show would be better if it were hosted at the base of Mt. Midoriyama.
-
Your boy's on, btw.
-
This is what happens when you let Fox host the Emmys!
Fuck Al Gore. and his boring, unwatchable cable channel. -
Good grief, they are not applauding his station at all.
-
The guy from Heroes talking about the internet. Gotta keep the dorks happy I guess.
-
I might actually put forth the effort to watch it.
-
Yea-Yuhhhh
-
along with plugs for Kville. Cut it down to 2 hours and lose the shit and you might have something slightly entertaining
-
This year by Tony Bennett. Egads.
-
Top 3 in number of F-bombs uttered on TV, yes. :)
-
Ever since HBO was allowed into the Emmy primetime mix, the awards have gone to hell in a Fed-Ex envelope.
-
Fuckin' hilarious.
-
wanted Ryan Seacrest in a Henry VIII costume. Eeek, my eyes!
-
NO EMMY FOR YOU, TONY SHALHOUB! YOU WAIT 1,000 YEARS FOR NEXT ONE!
-
classic
-
Good day
-
Edie Falco shoulda won!!!
-
U-P-S-E-T
-
you have to love Carell...
-
Sally Field. Now hand that Emmy to Kristen Bell or Lauren Graham.
-
Pennsy is, indeed, an annoying fuck.
-
this is the most fucked up sow ever....
-
her Emmy to "War" ? Nice going, bitch. You're responsible for Iraq.
-
Sheez.
-
And that was pretty rude how they cut off her speech.
-
she stumbled and bumbled and then started to swear. obviously, she had some big anti-war spiel all ready to go and then couldn't remember it.
-
"If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any goddamn war!"
-
What the fuck, rainbowtrout?
-
People who are grandstanding shouldn't have to follow the time limits.
-
she deserved it because she swore. but i would love it if all political speeches of any partisan stripe were cut off.
-
anti-coherence. I'd cut her off, too. Show's long enough - we don't need to wait 10 minutes for some airhead dipshit to remember what the hell she was trying to say.
-
Or she knew in her sunconscious that her statue belonged to Connie Britton.
-
If she's incoherent, she's earned the right to be fucking incoherent.
-
Considering she started with "goddamn", they wouldn't have cared what came after the swear. Of course, everyone will bitch that she was censored by an FCC controlled George Bush. Just wait, somebody will say it. You swear, they're gonna bleep you. Everyone who's been on TV knows you can't say "GOD damn". Which I always found weird, cuz the word "damn" implies God's involved, doesn't it?
-
Okay, they didn't cut her off for time purposes. She was about to say something presumabley anti-war, then they switched to a camera in the rafters with no clear audio for 5 seconds, then clicked back to her as the band started to play. It wasn't a matter of being out of time.
-
It's not been a good night for me, and that was classic.
-
America Ferrara. OK, I guess.
-
They got that one right. Woof Woof.
-
Prick thinks he's some kind of legend that everyone wants to listen ramble on. Got too big to do GodFather 3. Crap director. Makes ropey westerns,.........
-
How can you hold that against the guy?
-
What's going on???
-
and then rim my bunghole for bonus points. Spader over Gandolfini ? Suck my cockstick, Emmy voters.
-
I'd maybe have preferred Gandolfini in this one case...
-
....SERIOUSLY. What the FUCK!?!?!
-
And I'd have preferred someone from your dorky sci-fi shows to Spader.
-
Kill me now, PLEASEE!!!!
-
Are the only people who watch Boston Legal Emmy voters? I think even Spader goes to work to collect a paycheck at this point.
-
Spader has the grace to know he's totally blagged that one.
GF3 might have been good if he'd consented to appear -
Payback for stealing Martin Sheen's Emmy for "Two Cathedrals" in season 2 of the West Wing, this could have been.
-
ya I can't believe this shit so far. the office and sopranos better win or this is just a complete joke.
-
So the reason Godfather 3 sucked was because Tom Hagen was absent? Um, and there I thought it was the script.
-
Seriously, why do people like this shit?
-
Meh.
-
The office didn't even win...
-
wtf is this shit. the office was alot better than that shit. fuck.
-
We are now on the same side. :) I take back all I said.
-
...for 30 seconds of awards ...now back to the commercials
-
Colbert punching himself in the face, Jersey Boys saluting Sopranos, Sopranos NOT sweeping, 30 Rock best comedy. Best. Emmys. Ever.
-
At least Fey's acceptance speech was LOL.
-
that one award just redeemed this whole broadcast for me. hopefully this'll attract some viewers....
-
SOMEONE'S gonna have to PAY
-
Read: same people who vote for Bush, lol.
-
hell ya right on
-
But seriously...fuck 'em.
-
FUCK x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
-
30 rock is awesome, the office is also. Get used to it, watch them again. I was afraid ugly betty would win
-
You're a moron.
-
do you even own a tv?
-
Dumb, Waggy.
-
Hold on to that FEE-LA-LAHAHANGGG
-
Too bad it was written for a more intelligent audience. Then it could have been appreciated.
-
You might have appreciated it.
-
I'm a big fan of 30 Rock, but I think The Office is generally a better show. I don't watch any of the others to judge them.
-
another one of those red state pandering shows. dear lord, when will they ever make a tv show for those of us who aren't slack jawed rednecks???
-
Too bad everyone else hated it so much
-
No shit.
-
I don't think so. I recall some random Bush jokes, and Tina Fey would probably take it badly if some one took her as some kind of conservative. It's just funny.
-
And deservedly so. All is right in the world.
-
It's not even HBO's best show anymore (The Wire, anyone?)
-
Sep 16, 2007 10:26:22 PM CDT
30 rock rules what is otherwise the worst. emmys. evAr.
by dr. sid schaefer
the director and producers of this piece of shit ramshackle shambolic show need to be sent to nowhere, idaho, to direct car lot commercials. man, that was fucking bad!
-
it's just not funny.
-
far past its 'Sell By' date.
-
I thought it was a comedy. Not for everyone, but to me the funniest show on. Long Live Alec Baldwin!
-
Is it just me or is he getting snarky? Brad Garrett = gross moron.
-
the Emmy voters will have to find another show to jerk off to year after year.
-
Six Feet Under didn't get any proper recognition from the Emmys. Terry O'Quinn, Jeremy Piven, Greg Daniels, only wins tonight that I really cared about. And even then, I think I would have preferred Neil Patrick Harris. Come on, you guys knew the Sopranos would win when they had that 10 minute dedication to it in the middle of the show. When have they ever done that for any other program? West Wing won best drama four years in a row, and they didn't pull out the stops for it like that.
-
The shows share many of the same directors, both won the Emmy their first year, both have low ratings...hopefully 30 Rock won't get cancelled.
-
that masqueraded as a Sopranos salute was to make up for the fact that it WOULD NOT win for Drama Series and that this was their makeup call for it.
-
ABSOLUTELY GAY!
-
I felt like the director was trying to show the set designer why his 'rotunda' idea was bad. Which, I agree, but it's not a point you have to ruin the show for. Oh and the writing was bad too. And the staging. And the...everything.
-
If you're going to talk about music on The Sopranos, YOU MENTION THE BIGGEST SONG THAT DEFINES THE ENDING OF THE SERIES OVERALL. Way to be, douche.
-
Had my hopes up, just a little, for something to go to Battlestar Galactica but I'm not truly surprised nothing did. It seems like Sci-Fi is almost always written off by judges as having no true substance. Sad since of all the sci-fi shows I've watched, BSG is by far the most deserving to be considered true drama with substance. Alas, we'll probably somehow see awards going to Sopranos and 24 even after they're no longer on the air.
-
Ok, looks like BSG did win Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series... Exodus, pt 2 definitely deserved it :)
-
Just read it on Reddit and at Robert Jordon's site dragonmount.com.

Ironic considering all those "Robert Jordan is dead" rumors that were circulating for so long... I don't read the guy, but rest in peace, Mr. Jordan.
-
HE WAS THE SOPRANOS. The Emmys are a fucking joke.
-
Colbert should have won SOMETHING. And was it me or did Conan look like death warmed over?
-
He's a fucking asshole. Met him about seven years ago and praised him on his work in the "Outer Limits" episodes "The Inheritors" and "Cameleon." Both are top-notch episodes and were very memorable. All he said was, "Oh, yeah" and walked away. It was like, "Fuck you. I'm a star now. I don't have timeto talk about how I got there." I'll save my cash and not spend it at the box office on your films either, peckerwood.

A 3-hour WHAT'S HAPPENING reunion would have been more entertaining than this train wreck. First, Spears derails and now the Emmys. Just for the record, I think Sally Field was loaded.
-
Except for the Comedy Central guys this thing sucked. And what was with Seacrest pulling a Whoopi Goldberg with that Tudors outfit? WTF? We get it with the Am I or aren't I gay thing Ryan. We don't give a shit either.
And I'm sick of Kanye West too.
-
I love the best actor in a comedy award presentation. Stewart and Colbert calling up Carrell, obviously Gervais was in on the gag, but I've just never seen that happen before, I laughed my ass off. I like that Jon Stewart's merry band of cable delinquents are practically untouchable. Even Viacom asks them how high to jump. It was actually the only entertaining moment tonight, oh and that old woman with Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Switch or something, she was fucking great. A solid 3 minutes of comedy, great...how long were the emmy's again.
-
Poston was a comedy icon. But Melman was funny in a PLAN 9 sort of way.
-
Tbh, Locke shouldn't have won, Michael Imperioli was way better this year in the Sopranos. So was Gandolfini, he should have won just for the scene where he kills Christopher in cold noseblood.
-
was payback from the Karma Gods for Falco stealing Jennifer Garner's 2003 Emmy for her great work that year on Alias.
-
The whole circle-jerk scenario was weird. And those screeching morons they hire to do the red carpet shows? ("WHO are you wearing?"???????????? It's WHOM, by the way, but they're NOT wearing PEOPLE, anyway, grade school dropout idiots.)
-
Retards, stop droning on with a list of names. Plus, you don't WANT to thank people....you ARE thanking them. I totally respect winners who are gracious, and have something meaningful to say. The acceptance speech is a lost art these days.
-
Damn. What a terrible loss. Sad, sad, sad.

Now that it's over here's what was great about theEmmys
by gimpinmypants
*Stewie's and Brian's opening song
*Stewie and Brian insulting Scrubs and the creator not laughing
*Colbert's nomination video where he gets slapped by all the writers (including himself)
*Daily Show's nomination video using Alberto Gonzales's many "I don't recall" to get great comedic affect
*Steve Carell accepting an award he had just lost
*Colbert and Stewart making fun of the entire premise of the Emmys trying to be green as being counterproductive
*The skit with Rainn Wilson, Wayne Brady and (I can't believe I'm saying this) Kanye West
*The constant censorship in the form of hard edits (I counted three) including part of Sally Field's acceptance speech
*I like how all but one of the shows I watch that were nominated all got a little piece: Lost, The Office, Sopranos, 30 Rock (Heroes was missing)
*I saw very little of Seacrest
All in all worth watching. I'm hoping Stewie's and Brian's opening song shows up on YouTube by tomorrow. -
is like a online version of simon cowell. movie comes out it gets slated. same goes for tv. why dont you all admit that you all hate watching tv and watching films. I cannot think of a single film in the recent past where all of the talkbackers have gone this is the best film I have ever seen. There are some shows like lost that get praise but they seem a minority. or the wire that do. RTe never bought the Wire and they dumped Friday night Lights in the grave yard slot. Tv3 swapped Studio 60 around so aften that they eventually dropped that too. Sky one did the same thing to BSG. So consequently the wire, BSG and Studio 60 are shows that I dont ever see. I have seen one or two eps of the The shield.
-
Simply for snubbing The Wire. That is all.
-
30 ROCK, SOPRANOS! I AM VERY HAPPY FOR TERRY O'QUINN GREAT SPEECH! YOU ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF LOST!
NYC PRODUCTIONS PREVAIL BABY! WHOO HOO! GREATEST BACKDROP IN THE WORLD! -
to the first one who brings me the head of one of those heathen Emmy votin' cocksuckers who saw fit to overlook the good, hard workin' people of Deadwood. After three seasons of pure genius, their eyes and ears should be so fuckin' blessed.
-
in these "shoulda been nominated" conversations, but I do agree it's foolish that The Wire has gone virtually unnoticed as far as nominations go, for all four seasons. But, none of these awards are for quality alone. For example, even though the best drama award is supposed to be for the best of the previous year, everyone knows the Sopranos win was in honor of the entire series coming to an end. The same can often be said for actors, too. C'mon, Spader? I actually like Spader and I like his show, but really...
-
Many of you seem to take this awards show seriously but there's never been a year where it's been relevant to real TV watchers. The people who vote for these awards don't even watch TV, so why would anyone care what their opinions are? It's pure political rubbish. At best, it's a game of catch-up. A bunch of golden parachutes for those past their prime.
-
They actually cut to the CEILING RAFTERS and not the audience for her speech. Priceless. Oh Fox, you take classy to a whole new level of hell.
-
since its return...but after last nights intro, may have to give them a peek, specially if they have that Star Wars parody for the premiere.
-
after that Family Guy bit and mouth "That was pretty good". A Stewart seal of approval!!
-
Well, I don't quite think James Spader is really the talk of the tinsel town as he was before. Anyway, I do agree, Gandolfini wuz robbed. But Sapder's line of "I feel like I stole from the mob and they're sitting right beside me" was kinda funny.
-
When they showed her I shouted, "That's what I'm talking about!" He and Pirece Brosnan have the only wives in Hollywood worth lusting over. What's better than a sexy big girl? Not a DAMN thing!
-
The Emmy winners are decided by "blue-ribbon" panels of 20-40 people. The TV industry is broken into 3 voter blocks. The Pioneers: the guys from 1949-1970 (led by Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, Dick Van Dyke, the creator of the Waltons who worked on Twilight Zone, etc.). The 1970's to 1995 gang (led by Steven Bochco, his protegee David E. Kelly, and on the comedy side James Burrows.) And then the New Blood (all the people most on this site like.) That's why there is no love for most of the cable shows and why shows by David E. Kelly and James Burrow's always win. They need to go to the system the Oscars use. Everybody in the movie acadamy votes for all the awards. At least then we may get a better and more deserving crop of winners. Seacrest sucked, but at least there was no truth to Britnwey Spears trying to get her face on the show.-----later-----m

...Was also the person nominated for series

My brother got to book 8 or 9 in the wheels of time sags and then gave up.
"at least no more of those terrible books". my brother is a very fast reader. Doesnt like sci-fi much. I tried to write sci-fi once and I made a couple of attempts at it. The longest was 15 pages........
My brother read it and asked me to drop the sci-fi part and the main chracter ended up as a female batman. a short synopsis of the orignal story is a woman gets kidnapped from earth, goes to a warrior planet. becomes a superhero. Set in a future manhatten called neo Manhatten which is divided up between chinese, russians etc. The boss is a psyhco-american mob man who killed is father and his fathers gang etc. there was a war theme. But as i say my brother suggested I scrap all the sci-fi bits and it became a female batman story.
-
I find that I am a good at doing detailed reviews of films. The last film I saw was breach. one of the best films, this year. brilliant. Still Havent seen bourne. but now that I have seen breach. think I will give bourne a skip. Because this being the talkback, tou will all say breach was crap. I dont agree.
-
Its the people that make the star. Once they stop remembering them, actors fade into obscurity and they're also remembered for being a prick or a good guy or gal. Waste his time by being appreciative of his work? Its called a compliment something you wouldn't understand.. I also met Sean Connery later that day(I had met him before on the set of a film. Class act, all-the-way.) and he was a gentleman. Big difference
between the two. And for the record, I saw the "Outer Limits" in its original run and the majority of those episodes are better than most of the brainless crap that passes for television these days. -
What was with Geordi La Forge and his chain gang and using that word every other word? It made them all sound stupid, like since when is ANYTHING to do with Television really "honorable?" Its entertainment, Roots didn't change the world, and that AMC movie certainly didn't do anything? What change the lives of western frontier prostitutes? And fuck all of you James Spader is the bomb Sopranos sucks and James Gandolfini doesn't really have that big of a range in that show. Though Hugh probably should have got it. House and Alan Shore are much more difficult characters to due right then a character stolen from a bad Bobby De Niro movie.
-
...but I don't expect many people on this site to have watched "Brothers & Sisters." I'm not trying to offend--it's just not that kind of show.
-
Good:
Lewis Black on all the watermarks, mini-graphic promos, scrolls, and lame-ass news channelsStewart and Colbert on being green and running a leaf blower on Al Gore's TearsChristina A sure does have a voice (but the number itself with Tony Bennett seemed lifeless and unrehearsedEllen DeGenere's stallThe lady with Stanley TucciHelen MirrenThe Bad:SeacrestSeacrestSeacrestthe musical tribute to the Sopranos (wtf?)BSG getting robbedThe Office getting robbed -
...but I record the thing and FF thru most of it anyway
-
Find the Franky Valley song during the montage of Soprano murder scenes a little strange?
-
...buncha twerps in high girly falsetto voicesThat is strange enough, but as an homage to the Sopranos? Only thing stranger than that would be Seacrest hosting the frakkin thing--er, oh... okay, only thing stranger than that would be Seacrest hosting the thing wearing a gay pirate outfit--er, oh... I give up.....
-
But I bought the OZ boxset recently and I'm into S2, first ep and Beecher just bit the tip off of some guys cock and spat it out...then they cut to another segment, then went back to Beecher being put in solitary and he SPIT more cock out.
Like he was completely crazy and chewing on that little bit of cock the whole time....
Did Oz ever win an emmy? -
If I was Robert Duvall, star of amazing movies, like, I dunno, The Godfather...and you mentioned an Outerlimits episode lol, I'd tell you to fuck off and walk away too:) Loser nerd lol Why didnt you comment on The Apostle. He directed and produced that. He might have been happy to take praise for that. Self rightous geeks make me laugh :)
-
I really loved you as Boo Radley!! "Wha...huh? Oh yea, huh?" I remember those episodes of Outer Limits, and if as a fan I approached Robert Duvall and said something along the lines of "When I was younger I saw you on a couple episodes of Outer Limits that I truly enjoyed, and I have loved your work ever since." I think it would be a compliment that a fan would recall something that early in an actor's career that affected them. Maybe Duvall couldn't remember what the hell Outer Limits was...he seemed a little out of it at the Emmys.
