People's Choice Picks Dr. Horrible

I couldn't actually bring myself to watch the People's Choice Awards last night. There is only so much Adam Sandler a girl can take and the incessant commercials for Bedtime Stories have more than fulfilled my quota for the year. Any award show that even has Worst Week in the running for Best New Comedy is no good in my book. I don't care if there weren't that many to choose from this year. Gary Unmarried won, if you care... which I don't. Besides, I was too busy distracting myself with the horror show that was 13: Fear Is Real, which in retrospect was probably worse than sitting through a few minutes of Adam Sandler schtick.

SAG Awards: Now With More Boston Legal!

SAG Awards: Now With More Boston Legal!

The SAG Award nominees were announced today, and I was trying to feign disinterest because of that whole strike/not strike thing that I'm trying really hard to pretend isn't happening because if I lose out on more TV, there's going to be lots of hell to pay. Anyway, whether or not they decide to strike is irrelevant to these nominations, I suppose, but it's time for actors to give themselves a little pat on the back. I find it hard to get riled up about these, because they aren't the Emmys... or even the Golden Globes, but I do sort of like the ensemble award, so there's that.

Golden Globes: And the Nominees Are...

Golden Globes: And the Nominees Are...

While I was disappointed that the live TV broadcast (at least the Today show version) covered very few TV categories, I was pretty excited by a couple of things. Normally the category of Actor/Actress in a miniseries or made-for-TV movie is something I just shrug at and pretend doesn't exist, but my ears did perk up quite a bit when I heard that Kiefer Sutherland had been nominated for his role in 24: Redemption. Jack's Back! That's pretty awesome!

TWoP 10 Reasons the Emmys Should Be Cancelled Forever

TWoP 10 Reasons the Emmys Should Be Cancelled Forever

After suffering through the tedium of three hours of badly scripted banter and ridiculous reality hosts trying to cobble together a show, we've had enough. Hollywood has enough ceremonies on TV where they sit and pat each other on the backs, and we're tired of sitting through them all. At least the Creative Arts Emmys have the good decency to do it on the DL and air them when people can ignore them -- unlike the Emmys, which are a big fancy event with hours of red carpet footage and a ceremony to boot. And if they're going to continue to air them, couldn't people at least go back to wearing wild outfits?

Emmy Awards: The Winners

Well, it was certainly a mixed bag of winners and losers tonight. Some predictable, some upsets, some things that had me cheering and some that just had me upset. Anyway below is the list of the newly-minted award winners.

Outstanding Drama Series - Mad Men
Outstanding Comedy Series - 30 Rock
Variety, Music or Comedy Series - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Lead Actress in a Comedy Series - Tina Fey (30 Rock)
Supporting Actor in a Drama Series - Zeljko Ivanek (Damages)
Supporting Actress in a Drama Series - Dianne Weist (In Treatment)
Supporting Actor in a Comedy - Jeremy Piven (Entourage)
Supporting Actress in a Comedy - Jean Smart (Samantha Who?)

That's the big stuff. After the jump are the other awards that they gave out during the broadcast.

Everything Else Is Just Business: Lance Reddick on the Fringe of Primetime

Viewers of The Wire know him only as Cedric Daniels, last seen beginning his career as a lawyer after resigning his position as Baltimore's police commissioner. Lost followers puzzle over his appearances as the mysterious "recruiter" Matthew Abaddon, seen intersecting with major characters at key moments in both flashbacks and fast-forwards. But this fall, Lance Reddick hopes fans of both shows rediscover him as yet another complex character: Agent Phillip Broyles of the Dept. of Homeland Security on Fringe, the new J.J. Abrams series airing on Fox. We caught up with the straight-shooting actor earlier this week at the New York premiere party for the show, where he spoke his mind about his past, present and future.

TWoP: It's not possible for any television show to be more critically acclaimed than The Wire, and yet it was almost entirely overlooked by the Emmys throughout its five seasons. How much does that bother you and your castmates?

EW and TWoP, Together at Last

by Angel Cohn August 15, 2008 4:00 AM

If all our Tubey polls weren't enough, we're adding one more. The nice folks over at Entertainment Weekly have joined together with us for one bonus poll. So if you've already voted for this week's Tubey polls, head on over to EW.com and cast your vote in this special category.

Time to Face Reality, Emmys

Apparently, this year being the first year that reality show hosts are eligible for Emmy awards isn't good enough for some people. DHD has reported that, according to a "reliable source," the hosts of this year's Emmy awards ceremony will be not one, not two, not three, not six, but all five of the nominees in the Reality Host category. So if you usually watch the show to escape reality TV (despite the fact that it... is... reality TV), you're S.O.L. But if you love reality TV and want to have a million of its babies live on a major network during primetime, you are in luck.

Time For Tubeys! Nominees Revealed!

by Angel Cohn July 18, 2008 1:16 PM

We're revealing our categories and some of the nominees today (You'll see that we actually care about shows like Battlestar Galactica and Pushing Daisies, unlike those Emmy people). Below is our complete list, which are based on your suggestions. Each week (on Mondays) a new batch of polls will be available for you to vote on, but this way you can start making your choices early. We know how important it is for you give some quality thinking time to which reality show truly was the worst of the year and which character most deserves to die (there are just so many candidates). With 60 categories, you've got plenty to choose from and think about.
