I must admit I never watch the Emmy's. I just look at the list after x_x I'm really glad Kyra Sedgwick won. I recently started watching The Closer and she just blows me away with her performance. Good for The Pacific and looking at the list and all the categories I agree with making another category. 2 categories didn't have any nominations this year and 2 only had 2 nominees. Yeah, another category could work. Also, I didn't see Modern Family winning so much and Glee so little...
Yeah...I've been watching CNN for a few days now with all the reporting with my future husband Don Lemon and good coverage they've been doing. It's still baffling at what's still do...but as you said, what can you say that wasn't been said before.
To my mother, awards shows are like sports games, they must be watched.
I really think the mini-series and tv movies need to be expanded into their own. Honestly, PBS/BBC/Sci-Fi crank out mini-series all year long, while HBO does two or three a year. Plenty of networks make tv movies and maybe, just maybe, more people would submit their work to the Academy to be nominated if the categories were split in two.
I honestly didn't expect Glee to win much, b/c at the end of the day, it is a musical going up against sitcoms. Sitcoms are pretty much a default win there, outside of acting noms. My mom was pretty bitter Lost didn't win, but when I explained how AMC and Breaking Bad and Mad Men are adored by critics and not really a "genre" show, she started to understand some of the awards politics.
CNN, MSNBC and Nat Geo have all been pretty good with the coverage. It really is amazing how much is left to be done, not just in NO, but all of the Gulf Coast.
Award shows are pretty much a required watch in my family. The Oscars are my mother's Superbowl, and I have to watch it all so she has someone to talk to.
I hoping for some Golden Globes acting noms, but since it is such a large cast, I don't think that's likely. Who knows, Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston both got nominated for BoB. I think the acting nows will likely come with the SAG awards.
Honestly, my problem with Little Dorrit is more a problem with Dickens than thinking it wasn't a very well done mini-series. There were just other mini-series from PBS/BBC I liked more that year that didn't get nominated, so when Little Dorrit won across the board, I was ultra-bitter. At the end of the day though, Little Dorrit has a plot and outstanding actors, while Gen Kill is, at the bare bones, Marines in Hummers going through a clusterfuck in the desert with sometimes painful acting.
