The Emmys
Hooray, the Emmy Awards are tonight, and Sherlock is nominated in a lot of categories-more heavy-hitting awards this time around, as opposed to last time, when the show was nominated for Writing for a Miniseries, Single-Camera Picture Editing, Special Visual Effects, and Music for a Miniseries. This is a big deal because it means more publicity in America, which I see as a good thing!
Tonight, though, in the Miniseries category, it’s up for:
EDIT: Mystery solved; thanks, Sherlockology. Sherlock doesn’t have enough episodes to qualify for a Drama, but since it’s returning, it can’t qualify as a straight-up Miniseries. (Ugh, this is so dumb.) So they basically have to treat it as a TV movie.
EDIT 2: This is somewhat off-topic, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this new poster for The Hobbit with an intensely sexy Martin Freeman in the title role. I am so excited for this movie, you guys. I had to take little breaks while watching the trailer because my squeeing was drowning out the dialogue.
Good luck, everybody, and Benedict in particular! :DDD
EDIT 3: Post-Emmys commiseration. Ugh, well, that didn’t go well (video here). No awards for us tonight (or for Luther, actually, sadface). But that’s okay, at least there were some good clips, and Benedict looked absolutely gorgeous onscreen. And he and Martin were reunited! :)
