  • 2008 Emmy results

    Well, I had made some predictions as to who and what would win in some selected categories of the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards, but boy was I wrong! ;(

    Here’s the actual results. Compare them to my prediction (but don’t make fun of me! 😉 )

    The Winners:
    BEST DRAMA SERIES – Mad Men
    BEST LEAD ACTOR – Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
    BEST LEAD ACTRESS, DRAMA – Glenn Close, Damages
    BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA – Zeljko Ivanek, Damages
    BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA – Dianne Wiest, In Treatment
    BEST COMEDY SERIES – 30 Rock
    BEST LEAD ACTOR, COMEDY – Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
    BEST LEAD ACTRESS, COMEDY – Tina Fey, “30 Rock
    BEST SUPPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY – Jeremy Piven, Entourage
    BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY – Jean Smart, Samantha Who?
    BEST LEAD ACTOR, MINISERIES OR TV MOVIE – Paul Giamatti, John Adams
    BEST LEAD ACTRESS, MINISERIES OR TV MOVIE – Laura Linney, John Adams
    BEST VARIETY, MUSIC OR COMEDY SERIES – The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
    BEST REALITY PROGRAM – Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List
    BEST REALITY COMPETITION PROGRAM – The Amazing Race
    BEST REALITY COMPETITION HOST – Jeff Probst, Survivor

    The only gripe I had was the Best Comedy Series award, which I really believed The Office should have one – I have never really loved 30 Rock like I love The Office. Oh well, that’s Hollywood for ya. 😉

  • The Emmys are coming! The Emmys are coming! (2008)

    As you may or may not already know, the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards are tomorrow at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC.

    There are a lot of great shows and actors nominated for the many categories, but here are a few selections that I think should be made. Feel free to agree/disagree in the comments! 😉

    The Emmys are another prestigious award that TV shows and series can earn – and often the winners are well deserving of the award. After watching the awards every year, I end up seeing shows that were winners just to see if I liked them.

    Enough jabber, on to the predictions!

    Outstanding Comedy Series

    Out of all five shows, I would have to pick The Office as the best comedy series for the Emmy. Just two years ago, the series picked up the same award (2006 Outstanding Comedy Series) and I think that it deserves an encore this year.

    Outstanding Drama Series

    I am liking House, M.D. as the winner, but it faces stiff competition, especially from LOST, which would also be a good pick for this award.
