Alright, so time to talk about the Emmy and who actually won I guess.
But first off, if you missed it or just because it’s so great you can never have enough of it, make sure to watch (again) Ricky Gervais & Steve Carell at the Emmys.
Right then, so let’s not waste any time and dive into it (in italic were my own votes, in bold are the winners) :

There’s been much talk and then some about those nominations, as the top10 finalists lists have been made public, or find a way to the public eyes. But now speculations are over as the official nominees were announced by Patrick Harris and Kristen Chenoweth - both nominated by the way.
What to say ? Not many surprises, even with things that went wrong and the misses here and there. Not much love for The Wire, I think more was expected, but it’s a general trend : cable networks are kicking in with style (AMC, FX, etc) and HBO is really lacking some great hits nowadays. Sure, The Wire is still around, and Entourage hasn’t been forgotten despite being away for so long, plus the “experimental” In Treatment was noticed, but it’s not like they had a The Sopranos or Sex And The City anyways…

The Emmys have released the lists of top 10 finalists for best comedy and best drama series. It’s not the nominations, just a “pre-selection”, but there’s already some (big) surprises, like the inclusion of Family Guy in the best comedy series — never an animated series made it there, but this year creator-producer Seth MacFarlane opted to have his show run for the best comedy series, while submitting a special episode (Blue Harvest) to the animated category — as well as some misses.
I mean I really wanted to see Life on the Best Drama list, and I can’t believe that once again How I Met Your Mother isn’t on the Best Comedy list ! You won’t also find Desperate Housewives (but that makes sense to me), My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, or Heroes but it is to include the one that’d have been surprising this year.

Because it’s not all about the Emmy’s, and because unlike with the Emmys we can hope here people actually watch TV, it’s always interesting to have a look at how the Television Critics Association Awards go. Nominees have been announced, and the closing chapter of The Wire and the first season of AMC newcomer Mad Men led the nominees.
Each show earned four nominations, more than any other program, and both are up for the prestigious Program Of The Year award. In the end HBO was the lead network with 10 nominations, closely followed by PBS with nine, NBC with eight, ABC and AMC five. Cable networks are doing pretty well, taking five of the six nomination for Program Of The Year and four of the five for New Program.

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 !
