Well, today we have even more Emmy talk to do, as the semi-finalists for Best Drama Actor and Best Drama Actress are out. Well, it’s not really official but sources are trusted. Some good choices have been made, but there are a few names missing as well, sadly.
I’m happy to see Bryan Cranston, terrific on Breaking Bad, or Gabriel Byrne, amazing on In Treatment, on the list, and of course it’s great to see Hugh Laurie (House) there, even though the Academy never bothered giving the guy an award so far. At least it helps a bit swallowing the absence of Robert Sean Leonard as Supporting Drama Actor.
However, I’m really sad not to see Damian Lewis on that list, not just because I feel Life was the greatest new show last season, but because he was delivering one Hell of a performance, in a pure terrific British tradition, as initiated by Hugh Laurie. And, really, Patrick Dempsey ?? Okay he’s McDreamy and all, but really?? James Spader ?? Oh come one people… Matthew Fox on Lost way also way better!

Some Emmy Finalists have already been made public, and now a few more are out. The list of semi-finalists for Best Comedy Actress and Best Supporting Drama Actor. Once again those lists aren’t for official nominees, people need to vote so we can get the official five nominees; still let’s talk about it!
Many are commenting on how Teri Hatcher is missing from the list, while Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria Parker are all on the list. I’ll just say that, sure, it looks like a snub especially on the semi-finalists list, but where does it say all Desperate Housewives actresses have to be all nominated ? I don’t hear people complain that much when only a couple of actors or actresses from Lost are nominated, and not the others.

Recently I went over the shows that will be returning this summer, but one thing very obvious about that list was all those that were missing. Not that summer is usually a time a crowed as fall on TV land, but more than one name was missing.
Why? Because due to many things, mostly the writers’ strike though, quite a lot of shows will not be returning before September, while others won’t be seen before 2009 ! And, some might not even return at all… So if you were wondering about where the Entourage, Californication, The Shield and other Rescue Me (amongst others) were gone, here’s your chance to find out. Though again, you will have to go through summer without them.

The writers’ strike might have been over for a little while now, but we still have to suffer from it. Not every show is back on, and many shows will not be back until next season. Most new series of the season aren’t returning, and even some well established ones aren’t coming back until next year.
And it continues, this time with HBO. A few shows won’t be returning as planned : Entourage is expected to come back at best in September, while Big Love, Flight Of The Conchords and new series True Blood - another vampire drama, this time from Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) - could not find their way to the air until 2009, much like Fox action-packed hit-drama 24.
Well, at least we’re just a couple of days now from the return of the full comedy night on NBC, with Earl, Jam, Liz Lemon, J.D. and all the others !

As always, critics are all voted for the to find out which were the best series and which were the worst of 2007. The Winter Critics Poll 2007 is over, and results are in.
Votes were tabulated using a weighted scale. Critics submitted 10 shows in the best series category, the top choice receiving 10 points, the second choice 9 points and so on down to the last (10th) choice, receiving 1 point.
In the worst series category, they only submitted five shows, the top (worst) choice descending from 5 points, the next from 4 points, and so on till the last one, descending from one point.
Selected shows were televised between July and December 2007.

So last night it finally happened, NBC had the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards Announcement Press Conference, or whatever they’re called it. I hear it was an absolute nightmare, a real horror, disgusting, unbearable, people stabbing themselves in the eyes to wash out what they had seen on NBC, and that was only due to Billy Bush’s hair !
Anyways, I’m sure NBC took care to explain that the mean WGA was all responsible for the mess that would follow, because they’re greedy evil bastards. Hopefully, people will be more inclined to trust, say, Tom Hanks, blaming the AMPTP. (Yes, he talked about the upcoming Oscars, but we all know that’s very much the same deal.)
I did not bother to watch whatever crap NBC had in store, if you have, you’re very brave, and I am sorry you had to go through this. Anyways, are are the winners of this year’s Golden Globes :
