Good for Dexter, Sandra Oh, and the John Adams nominations. Laura Linney is a fucking goddess and that bitch from A Raisin in the Sun best not take her Emmy because of affirmative action.

She won't. Haven't you been reading? They don't like black people!

Either that, or they don't like intelligent television shows. Regardless, if the goal is to nominate the 5 best shows on television, then they failed.
The reasons don't really matter.

I don't know if comparing Mad Men and The Wire works because Mad Men's pretty amazing (I haven't finished the season). But something could be said
about how the realism in the Wire is too off-putting, depressing, complicated, even heavy-handed to the voters. Having a predominantly minority cast certainly
doesn't help matters, I imagine. It's unfortunate because it deserved some recognition from the Academy for its 5 years of good television.

How the hell does TAR keep getting nominated when it's past couple of seasons have been absolutely SHITATEOUS while Survivors past two were absolutely
brilliant.
I hope they at least give Jiffy Pop the Emmy for best host. Unfortunately, I think they'll give it to Ryan Semencrust.

I still don't get how Deal Or No Deal is a reality show, rather than a game show.

Jeff Probst should win the Emmy for best host and anyone to argue differently should die. Tom Bergeron and Ryan Seacrest both have cards and shit to read off
of, whereas Jeff Probst does more than any of them. Challenges... Tribal Councils... No cards to read off of. It's all pure and not contrived. Any castaway
would even tell you that Jeff is more than a host. I mean hasn't he been called like the 17th/21st etc player?

I disagree. I totally think Tom Bergeron should get this. Jeff Probst doesn't have to deal with it being live. If he fucks up they can just do another take. Both TB and RS don't have the luxury of a second take. Plus like other people have said he has to overcome being partnered with an imbecile. Also he's quick-witted. He usually comes up with something funny to say when anything unexpected happens or when Bruno says something ridiculous (which is usually 10 times a show). I would actually be mad if they ever replaced him. On the other hand they could get rid of Jeff Probst tomorrow and I wouldn't care. For me he doesn't really add anything to the show.Then you are a dumb fuck who hasn't been paying attention to the show. Survivor needs Probst's ability to read people, know where the stories are, know where the drama moments will come from, who is about to break, where to push, which people to goad...He has to do that. Yes, it isn't live, and he gets to be edited. But the fact is, he does things that no other host CAN DO. RS doesn't have an integral part in the show. THIS, is American Idol. ---Introduce singer ---Obligatory gay banter with Simon ---Seacrest out. That's the extent of it. It takes nerves, but not the level of skill that Probst has. I can't comment on TB because I have a college education so I wouldn't be watching DWTS anyway. So yeah, anyone who even remotely argues against Probst really is just too fucking dumb to be allowed to breath. Being edited is by no means the icing on the cake. And if that's all that the Emmy should be about? Then..the award is shit. Also I still don't get how Deal Or No Deal is a reality show, rather than a game show.X |

You think he's finding out all that info on his own? They prep him with all that info before each tribal council and competition. It's not like he's sitting in a tree watching all these people so he can see where all the stories are. |

The Emmy's have historically shat all over Survivor and voted Amazing Race as best reality competition every freaking year almost like they're saying
"We don't care, what comes first alphabetically?" (or maybe it's the whole TAR is a "classier" show reality snobbery or maybe
it's friends of Bruckheimer)
Whatever, the fact that Probst still got nominated is a sign of his name recognition, grudging respect even and maybe some good old schmoozing ability. Just being there means he's got a real shot given how much Survivor has gotten squat from the tv people. Cat Deeley, despite being on a bonafide summer hit, is under the radar. |

Yum, I just watched the 'Marathon' for the 1st Season of 'Mad Men' and was more than impressed. The sets are amazing/wardrobe/smooth
storylines/especially love 'Peggy'. The powers that be really put a lot of detail into the time period (1960) and MEN WERE REALLY LIKE THAT! Good job,
well earned. (also Damages...deserved all the nods it got..and finally 'yeah to Dexter and it's star!'
