The Emmy nominations were announced earlier today, and we can assure you that some(one) or thing that really deserves to be on this list was snubbed (ORPHAN BLACK). This year it was the veritable YEAR OF THE EMMY SNUBS! (ORPHAN BLACK) Continue reading

It’s possible the networks are throwing a little shade this morning, as they now have to contend with that for-pay digital online movie clearing house, Netflix, in the world of scripted television. It must make them feel all goofy in the wallet now that another viewing vehicle has entered the ring. Haha! James Gandolfini may be laughing just a little bit way up there, since his groundbreaking show on HBO, The Sopranos, can be counted as the first time network television really had to compete with an outside source full of curses and nudity in order to make their little shows on the boob tube really work.

Also, in other parts of Hollywood, Nic Cage writhes in a coffin; shows about fathers are getting help from a famous Dogg; Hollywood should just say what they mean; Television success can be had, one channel proves it, and how do you pronounce Versace?

Since the super duper star of television somehow managed to forget to submit his name for contention, we all wondered if the Emmys would cease to exist. Nah. That’ll never happen. We pretty much know what we like on television and what we don’t. One Sheen don’t stop no show. But it’s rare that the nominations ever pull anything really crazy out of their hat anymore…like I dunno, an Emmy nod for The Cape or something insane like that. Oh, ho! The Cape. NBC, you guys are just Gods Among Programming. I tell you, it’s like your first year on the television box. Anyway, I digress…back to the Emmys…it’s mostly what you expect, but perhaps there are a couple WTF’s going around.
Let’s take a look at this morning’s nods.
