WHO'S IN -- AND OUT OF -- THE EMMY RACE!
Well, the nominations for the 57th Annual Emmy Awards were out early this morning, and surprise surprise, the "Desperate Housewives" lead the pack with 15 nods. But as for the cast, only Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, and Felicity Huffman are up for Comedy Actress, while Eva Longoria and Nicollette Sheridan were out of the running. In Comedy Series, "Housewives" will have to battle with "Scrubs", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Will and Grace", and last year's winner "Arrested Development" for that prize.
Another ABC savior, "Lost", scooped up a Drama Series nod, as well as HBO's "Deadwood and "Six Feet Under", Fox's "24", and NBC's "The West Wing." On the reality competition side, will it be a three-peat for "The Amazing Race", or will "American Idol" sing and scheme their way to Emmy gold? By the way, "Project Runway", "The Apprentice", and "Survivor" are also in too. Meanwhile, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" may need more than a miracle to grab the Reality Program trophy with "Antiques Roadshow", "Penn and Teller: BS!", and Bravo's "Project Greenlight" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" standing in their way.
And Alan Alda has scored a triple threat: A supporting drama actor nomination for "West Wing" to go along with his Oscar ("The Aviator") and Tony ("Glengary Glen Ross") nods this year.
Then there were those whose bubbles were burst by Emmy; among them, Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) and Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars). Sure, the critics and viewers loved their work, but not in the eyes of the Emmy voters.
In the end, HBO as always leads with 93 nominations, followed by CBS with 59; NBC, 54; and Fox, 49.
We'll find out if Lady Emmy doesn't seem "Lost" or "Desperate" after all when the 57th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be handed out September 18 on CBS.
Tomorrow...the progress of my last (and extremely important, because I'm broke) garage sale so far. Good night!!
