Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 I don't get why the EMMY's always need to give departing shows a big farewell deal. It's always undeserving shows like Will and Grace. Just give them a tribute during the show if you much praise them. Don't screw the ones who deserve it. I'll grant them the Six Feet Under nominations, however. I guess it's a matter of comfort for the voters because there is always people nominated consistantly even if they didn't particularly earn it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, they nominate goddamn Martin Sheen but not Hugh Laurie? Fuck this list. Fuck with an AIDS-infested cock. I'm kind of scratching my head about that myself. Sheen was barely even on the West Wing this year. If there's actually even a leading actor on that show, its Bradley Whitford. The show has always revolved around the Josh Lyman character as much as it did Pres. Bartlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 The Emmy's are a fucking fraud! Forrest Whitaker got fucked over badly, he was the best actor on TV all year. He's acting of John Kavanaugh was just amazing. Also the fact that the Shield never even got one oscar nomination is fucking bullshit. Fuck the people who think the nominations. This is a fraud. No point in even watching this bullshit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean Smart did a fine job as the first lady but I dont think there was anything outstanding about her performance. Kiefer has a shot at best actor if they don't give it to Sheen as a sendoff. I dont see 24 winning best Drama series. I noticed My Name is Earl got nominated for Outsdtanding Casting for a Comedy Series. I think thats a hint that if next year is good, it might get some nominations in the bigger categories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 No John Krasinski? Fucking idiots. If he submitted Booze Cruise and Drug Testing and didn't get a nod, then yea, that's BS. I thought that The Casino's acting was maybe the best that I've ever seen in a comedy. By both him and Jenna. She probably even deserved the Best Actress nod, not even supporting as even though it's an ensemble cast, the show does kind of revolve around Pam. Oh, and I think that Peter Kraus should win this year. The last few episodes of SFU were great tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Yea, I watched Casino Night again last night- that scene where he reveals his love to her is tremendous TV.

I've read the plan was originally for Alda's character to win the election, but between John Spencer dying and the show geting cancelled, they thought the fans would want to see Smits's character win.

Longdogger_Pete 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 IIRC, last year Lost was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series and had two nominations for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (for Terry O'Quinn and Naveen Andrews). Lost was not "fucked over" this year. Lost simply did not have as strong a season. As for the two nominees of last year, Locke's character was watered-down this season, and we didn't see as much of Sayid either. However, I'm ecstatic about the Desmond nomination.
