Recently in Awards Category

They say it's an honor just to be nominated, but we all know that's not true. So while we're thrilled that TWoP has once again been selected as one of the five best entertainment blogs by the Bloggies, a.k.a. the Weblog Awards, we're also selfish enough to want to win this sucker for the second consecutive year. And unlike the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes, whose prizes are closed to public influence, the Bloggies want real people to pick their favorites -- go figure. TWoP is up against some stiff competition from Best Week Ever, TVgasm, /film and Vulture, so we can use all the help we can get. If you dig what we do (and hey, why else are you even reading this?) and have a few minutes to spare, consider casting a vote for us at the official Bloggies site. There are plenty of great blogs from around the world nominated in a slew of other categories, so show them a little love while you're in the neighborhood, too. Voting closes on Monday, February 2.

SAG Award TV Winners Don't you just love watching actors be all self-congratulatory for two-plus hours? Well it doesn't get any more masturbatory than the SAG Awards!

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

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?
