2007 SATELLITE Awards : And the winners are…
By fred | December 18, 2007
The 12th Annual Satellite Awards, given out by the International Press Academy, took place this Sunday, and they got some right, and some wrong. Although, many times the nominees weren’t right, so there couldn’t have been a good choice anyway, it was too late.
Among the series fans can be happy to hear were rewarded, can be found Dexter, Pushing Daisies, Ugly Betty or Grey’s Anatomy.
Quickly, here’s what matters :
Actor in a supporting role in a series, mini-series or made-for-TV movie
- Andy Serkis, Longford
- Michael Emerson, Lost
- Masi Oka, Heroes
- Justin Kirk, Weeds
- T.R. Knight, Grey’s Anatomy
- Harry Dean Stanton, Big Love
- David Zayas, Dexter
I think Michael Emerson totally should have won.
Actress in a supporting role in a series, mini-series or made-for-TV movie
- Vanessa Williams, Ugly Betty
- Judy Davis, The Starter Wife
- Chandra Wilson, Grey’s Anatomy
- Jaime Pressly, My Name Is Earl
- Polly Bergen, Desperate Housewives
- Rachel Griffiths, Brothers And Sisters
Drama
- The Riches
- Dexter
- Mad Men
- Friday Night Lights
- Grey’s Anatomy
- Brothers And Sisters
I don’t get it, has this show really gotten much better ? Because what I saw of it (the first half-dozen episodes) sucked. And yeah, Life was to win this, but alas it wasn’t even nominated…
Actress in Drama
- Minnie Driver, The Riches
- Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer
- Ellen Pompeo, Grey’s Anatomy
- Sally Field Brothers And Sisters
- Jeanne Tripplehorn, Big Love
- Glenn Close, Damages
Yeah, right. I guess whoever voted didn’t watch Damages. Shame on them.
Actor in Drama
- Eddie Izzard, The Riches
- Michael C. Hall, Dexter
- James Woods, Shark
- Hugh Laurie, House
- Bill Paxton, Big Love
- Denis Leary, Rescue Me
Again, based on what I saw of the first season only, this one might be well deserved. I personally would have voted for Hugh Laurie, because the guy is amazing, but Michael C. Hall did a great job as well. I’m just sorry that Damian Lewis wasn’t nominated, cause he deserves it.
Comedy or Musical
- Ugly Betty
- Flight Of The Concords
- Extras
- Chuck
- Weeds
- Pushing Daisies
I’m not fully agreeing on the nominees, and I still believe that there should be one category “sitcom” (with 30 Rock as winner), and another one “comedy/musical”, which indeed had to see Pushing Daisies win.
Actress in Comedy/Musical
- America Ferrera, Ugly Betty
- Tina Fey, 30 Rock
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures Of Old Christine
- Felicity Huffman, Desperate Housewives
- Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies
- Patricia Heaton, Back To You
Nope, it should have been Tina Fey. I have a question though : why the hell was Patricia Heaton nominated ??
Actor in Comedy/Musical
- Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies
- Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
- Steve Carell, The Office
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report
- Ricky Gervais, Extras
- Zachary Levi, Chuck
Oh My God, they didn’t gave it to Alec Baldwin !! Why such hatred towards 30 Rock, why??
