Clear Eyes, Full Hearts...can apparently lose, yes.

I've been meaning to write about this for a little while now, and I'm just going to come right out and say it -- I have a bone to pick with the Emmy nominations committee. I could sit here and blab on and on about Friday Night Lights and bore you all to tears, so I'll make this part short -- Connie Britton not getting nominated for Best Actress in ( Read more... )

I don't pay attention to any of the awards shows, with the exception of the Oscars. Sure, popularity and politics play a part in who's nominated there, who gets the awards. But at least it's only part. For every other awards show, popularity--as measured by Nielsen ratings or album sales--seems to be the only thing that matters. But with the Oscars, there's actually a reasonable chance that a well-made movie that bombed at the box office will win major awards. (And the most popular movies as measured in ticket receipts--the brain dead summer action blockbusters--some of which I enjoy, though I know they aren't "great" films--are usually relegated to getting minor technical awards ( ... )

I have to confess that I have never watched Friday Night Lights. Lucinda watched one episode and reported that it wasn't that good. I took her word for it. Maybe she was right, maybe not; but it's been getting such good reviews that I'm going to have to check it out when it comes out on DVD. Um, it's coming out on DVD, right ( ... )

No, I TOTALLY think HRG is hot. I just feel kinda dirty for thinking he's hot, since he's all dad-aged and stuff. It's the perfect contrast to my crush on Michael Cera.

You know, I don't think there's much wrong with having a crush on Michael Cera -- he does give off an aura that's really old for his age. Yes, technically, during the filming of the show he was totally jailbait, but still! I don't think you should be too hard on yourself for having good taste.

Oh, and I completely agree about Mary McDonnell. Both she and Edward James Olmos are fantastic, but Mary in particular. Take out Patricia Arquette and Kyra Sedgwick; put in Connie Britton and Mary McDonnell. (Friday Night Lights is coming out on DVD, I think at the end of this month or the beginning of September. Watch from the beginning, give it a couple of episodes, and give in to the melodrama a little bit. Segev got hooked by episode 3.)
