Emmy Awards 2007 Announced

[funky]

From Variety

The new drama "Heroes" and comedies "Ugly Betty" and "30 Rock" broke through with veteran contenders at the 59th annual Primetime Emmys, announced Thursday morning in North Hollywood.
Last year, no new program earned a spot in the best comedy or drama balloting. That yielded plenty of grumbling about the selection process, despite changes that were implemented specifically to bring an infusion of new blood into the awards. Instead, several nominees, had already concluded their network runs, such as Fox's "Arrested Development."

Pay cabler HBO, with 86 nominations, tallied the most bids overall for the seventh consecutive year, but with its lowest total since 2001. Its streak as the most-honored network is up to six, including ties with NBC in 2001 and '02.

Presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the 59th annual Primetime Emmys' main ceremony will take place Sept. 16 at the Shrine Auditorium and will be televised by Fox.

Is DH already on the skids Emmy-wise? How many noms did it get this year?

[cwej]

A real lack of DH this year. :o

[funky]

Kathy Griffin got a reality show nomination again :D

[cwej]

GOOD OLD KIEFER. EVERY FUCKING YEAR.

[ameraal]

bless minnie driver :D
did we know she has a NEW album out?

[Loufoque]

The Emmys is always like this. ER was the toast of the Emmys for its first three years and after that it could only win guest-star awards. And it's not even like the quality really dipped.

It's like the panel have THREE YEAR ATTENTION SPANS

[funky]

"Lost" has been hit even harder. And "Grey's Anatomy" sinking without trace. ABC not doing too well compared to two years ago...

this is very true.

[Loufoque]

But Lost really did go to shit

FROM WHAT I HEAR

[funky]

In fact, "Lost" hasn't even been nominated for special effects or stunt direction :D

[Loufoque]

I really like all of the best comedy actress nominees

WHAT A SURPRISE

[cwej]

BUT KIEFER. EVERY FUCKING YEAR.

[Loufoque]

Well it's hardly surprising considering he's carried that show for six years

[VoR]

Ooh Laurie Metcalf for that guest actress award PLEASE! :D

She was fabulously deranged.

[funky]

Supporting actor nominees added

YAY for Vanessa Williams and Terry O'Quinn

BOO for no Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet in Lost)

I don't watch either Brothers & Sisters or Grey's Anatomy, but good to see a mention for Sandra Oh and Rachael Griffiths

[funky]

And outstanding episodes added

Which one was the "Through The Looking Glass" episode of Lost?

And so glad to see the Daniel Radcliffe episode of "Extras" honoured. It was absolutely BRILLIANT :D

[Frozen]

You need to change around the supporting actress ones, they're in the wrong categories

The "Lost" episode was the season finale, well deserved nomination IMO

[Loufoque]

TR Knight's nomination IN NO WAY CONNECTED with the Isiah Washington DEBACLE :D

[Loufoque]

What is 30 Rock? It seems very popular and stars Tina Fey which can ONLY BE A GOOD THING

[funky]

You need to change around the supporting actress ones, they're in the wrong categories

thanks Fro, done

[Tal]

What is 30 Rock? It seems very popular and stars Tina Fey which can ONLY BE A GOOD THING

It's hideous! It's a sitcom detailing the "behind the scenes" of a sketch comdey TV show and neither are funny.

[Tal]

Oh, and surely The Sopranos will sweep the board?

And quite rightly so!

[Pipo]

30 Rock is the best show ever Lou.

Lost • "Through The Looking Glass" :confused: Was good, but it wasn't my favourite. Tough to pick one, but I'd probably go for "One Of Us". I need to rewatch Series 3.


Nothing for the lovely Julie Benz in Dexter? :evil: Was it eligible? She's been great in the............erm 2 episodes I've seen so far.

[Loufoque]

So basically you like Lost and Ugly Betty?

[Strawberry Jam]

And SCRUBS. :evil: Honestly these nominations make me look like I've only watched 3 shows in the last year. It's actually 4 if you include Doctor Who. :|

[belgo]

Hopefully JT will win with 'Dick In A Box'! :D

Also nice to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus nominated for the 'New Adventures Of Old Christine'. I've only seen 3 episodes, but she's GREAT in it!

[Madison]

Kathy Griffin got a reality show nomination again :D
She won!

"A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."




"Suck it, Jesus. This award is my God now."

[loomer]

And the Catholic League protested to the network, calling it "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech", forcing them to pull that part of her speech off the air.

[VoR]

:D

Good ole KATHY!

[belgo]

I've just started watching 'Brothers & Sisters' and I think Sally Field is absolutely SUPERB in it!

Hopefully she'll take home the Emmy tonight.
