THE EMMY NOMINATIONS: WHERE WAS EVERYBODY??
Hello, everybody. Well, the big news coming out of this year's Primetime Emmy nominations was that last year's headliners were out of line.
"Lost" who claimed the Best Drama prize last year, was shut out, and so were any of the "Desperate Housewives". For Drama, it's now "Grey's Anatomy", "House", "The Sopranos", "24" (series leader with 12 nods), and the already departing "The West Wing" pitting against each other; on the Comedy series side, we've got "Arrested Development", "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "The Office", "Scrubs", and "Two and a Half Men."
As for the individuals? In Best Comedy Actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") -- who co-presented the nominees with fellow winner Brad Garrett -- is the only person who still has a show on the air! The nominees from other shows -- Stockard Channing, Jane Kaczmarek, Lisa Kudrow, and Debra Messing -- have already left the air! The same can be said about Best Drama Actress; Mariska Hargitay and Kyra Sedgwick still have shows while Frances Conroy, Geena Davis, and Alison Janney no longer do.
On the men's side, Steve Carell is hoping to add a Comedy Actor Emmy for "The Office" to go along with the Golden Globe he already has, but he's got to go through Larry David, Kevin James, past winner Tony Shalhoub, and Charlie Sheen first. No need to bring up the drama field.
In Reality-Competition, "Dancing With The Stars" could bring "The Amazing Race's" winning streak to an end, while sister shows "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" will be duking it out for the Variety, Music, or Comedy trophy.
HBO of course leads all networks with 95 nominations followed by ABC (64), CBS (47), NBC (46), and Fox (41).
It's going to be one wild night at the 58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be handed out August 27 on NBC. Why August 27? NBC's got "Sunday Night Football", and the Emmys will be back to mid-September next year.
With that said...so long!
