Wow, HBO must be pretty happy this morning. ;) |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The funeral home drama Six Feet Under received a leading 16 Emmy nominations Thursday, followed by three-time best drama winner The West Wing with 15. The Sopranos, back in contention after missing out on last year's awards because it didn't air during the eligibility period, received 13 nominations, along with the comedies Everybody Loves Raymond and Sex and the City. Law & Order missed out on its bid to set a record, failing to receive the best drama series nod that would have given it 12 consecutive best series nominations. It's tied for the record with Cheers and M-A-S-H. In addition to a best drama series bid, Six Feet Under also earned nominations for cast members Frances Conroy as best actress and Peter Krause as best actor. Other contenders for best drama series are The Sopranos, The West Wing, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and 24. Nominees for best comedy series are Everybody Loves Raymond, Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Will & Grace and last year's winner, Friends. Jennifer Aniston, winner of last year's best comedy series actress award, received another nomination in the category this year. Her competition includes Patricia Heaton of Everybody Loves Raymond, Jane Kaczmarek of Malcom in the Middle, Debra Messing of Will & Grace and Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City. Another member of the Friends cast, Matt LeBlanc, will be up again for the best comedy series trophy he missed out on last year. Other nominees are Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bernie Mac of The Bernie Mac Show, Eric McCormack of Will & Grace and last year's winner, Ray Romano of Everybody Loves Raymond. Other actresses nominated in the drama series category are Edie Falco of The Sopranos, Jennifer Garner of Alias, Marg Helgenberger of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Allison Janney of The West Wing, who took home the trophy last year. In addition to Krause, a drama series acting bid went to last year's surprise winner, Michael Chiklis of The Shield, who received the first such honor for a basic cable show. Other nominees are James Gandolfini of The Sopranos, Martin Sheen of The West Wing and Kiefer Sutherland of 24. |
No surprises. I don't watch most of the shows that earned nominations in the major categories. Just CSI, West Wing, Sopranos, and Sex & The City.
Shame on the academy for not selecting That 70s Show as a comedy series nominee. That is criminal. Friends is so very tired. Of the episodes I have seen, W&G, CYU, and ELR has never garnered a laugh from me. |
Oh no .... a category for <i>Reality Competition Program</i> .... this sort of thing should not be encouraged!
What next ...<i>"And the nominees for Best Award Nomination Announcement Program are....</i>" |
Originally posted by marty888 Oh no .... a category for <i>Reality Competition Program</i> .... this sort of thing should not be encouraged! At least I can say I watch more than 1 nominee in that category. I can't say that for the comedy (and I use that term loosely) series category. |
Hopefully Six Feet Under will win a few awards this year. Glad to see it got 16 noms. I was really surprised to see Alias pick up several nominations, hopefully this can translate into some better ratings. Also psyched to see Bernie Mac pick up a nomination, it would be great if he walked away with the award, that man's just hilarious.

My picks (hopes)...
DRAMA CSI Six Feet Under Sopranos 24 The West Wing It's close between THE SOPRANOS and SIX FEET UNDER, but THE SOPRANOS is STILL the best drama on TV. Lead Actress Drama Series Frances Conroy - Six Feet Under Edie Falco - Sopranos Jennifer Garner - Alias Marg Helgenberger - CSI Allison Janney - The West Wing If EDIE FALCO doesn't win for her INCREDIBLE work this last season, there's something REALLY wrong going on here... Lead Actor Drama Series James Gandolfini - Sopranos Peter Krause - Six Feet Under Martin Sheen - The West Wing Kiefer Sutherland - 24 Michael Chiklis - The Shield All great choices, except for MARTIN SHEEN (I can't stand that preachy show), but I have to go with JAMES GANDOLFINI. Comedy Series Curb Your Enthusiasm Everybody Loves Raymond Friends Sex & The City Will & Grace CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. Hands down the funniest show on TV. Lead Actor Comedy Series Larry David - Curb Your Enthusiam Matt Leblanc - Friends Bernie Mac - Bernie Mac Show Eric McCormack - Will & Grace Ray Romano - Everybody Loves Raymond Tony Shalhobe - Monk LARRY DAVID. (See above...) Lead Actress Comedy Jennifer Aniston - Friends Patricia Heaton - Eveybody Loves Raymond Debra Messing - Will & Grace Sarah Jessica Parker - Sex & The City Jane Kaczmarek - Malcolm in the Middle Considering I only watch two of the shows these people are up from, I'd go with JANE KACZMAREK. Reality Competition Program The Amazing Race American Idol Survivor The last episode of SURVIVOR stunk! THE AMAZING RACE has emerged as one of the most exciting and fun shows on. There you go... Miniseries Hitler The Rise Of Evil Napoleon Taken Well, I only saw TAKEN. I enjoyed it. Made For TV Movie Door To Door Homeless To Harvard Live From Baghdad My House In Umbria Normal Again, LIVE FROM BAGHDAD was the only one I saw, so I'm probably not qualified... |

Of the episodes I have seen, W&G, CYU, and ELR has never garnered a laugh from me. I don't watch most of these shows either - Friends is the only one I watch consistently; CSI sporadically and The Sopranos once it comes out on DVD. I understand these shows are critical/fan darlings, but they need to find some new blood - there are several other excellent shows out there in tv land. They might as well just show last year's ceremony again. |
Well, considering the Sopranos weren't even eligible to be nominated last year...
|
why is it that Jane Kaczmarek gets all the props for Malcom in the Middle when Brian Cranston is infinately better as Malcom's dad.
Also, same goes for Marg Helgenberger. I like her on CSI, but William Peterson does a much better job. |
<BLOCKQUOTE> • Quoth Red Dog •<HR SIZE=1>At least I can say I watch more than 1 nominee in that category. I can't say that for the comedy (and I use that term loosely) series category. <HR SIZE=1></BLOCKQUOTE>
Agreed. Pardon the pun, but this category is a joke. But never had a laugh from <I>Curb Your Enthusiasm</I>? Good God, man - what is wrong with you? :) The academy's fascination with mainstream popular shows like <I>CSI</I> and <I>24</I> instead of higher quality like <I>The Shield</I> or <I>The Wire</I> is pretty frustrating. I'm glad to see some great shows on the list, but their nominations just seem to be default selections with no real effort made on finding the best of the best. das |
The Futon Critic has posted the creative arts nominations as well. They're way too long to post here, but check the link.
Two items that struck me: Outstanding Main Title Theme Music Boomtown Everwood Miracles Monk And, the five Special Effects nominees: Buffy ("Chosen"), Enterprise ("Dead Stop"), Enterprise ("The Crossing"), Enterprise ("The Expanse"), and Firefly ("Serenity"). UPN has four of the five. I'll bet Fox wins. ;) |
Almost as bad as the nonsense that was their comedy nominations is the omission of Boomtown from the best drama list and Neal McDonough from the best supporting actor list.
I still don't get the fascination with Six Feet Under. I watched the whole first season and thought is was okay, but the academy treats like the greatest thing that ever happened to television. Unless it has really improved since then, I can only -ohbfrank-. |
Well, take my opinions for what they're worth, but it's either the best or the second best show on all of television IMO, and I'm certainly not one to simply go along with the Academy. Last season, I didn't see anything better, and I watched quite a bit.

i've only seen a couple of episodes of 6 feet and i wasn't impressed. maybe i didnt give it enough time.

You know it's a "slim-pickings" type of year when Hitler gets nominated.

Originally posted by Chew You know it's a "slim-pickings" type of year when Hitler gets nominated. I didn't think Hiter: Rise of Evil was bad. I don't think it was great either. Miniseries are pretty much going the way of the dodo - there is little profit potential in them. |

I can't believe Boomtown got shutout of the nominations. I for one can't wait for the DVD release of the first season. Are you listening NBC??? They should follow the example set by 24 and The Shield if they want to build up the ratings for this show. Circuit City has a High Def promo for Boomtown that is just incredible in the picture and sound quality.

The thing about Six Feet Under is that I don't really enjoy it all that much as I am in the process of watching the episodes, but it's upon reflection of each episode that it becomes more entertaining and thought provoking. But I don't consider it the creme de la creme, but it'd make my top 10 shows currently on TV, I guess.
Like, I really enjoy most of "Curb Your Enthusiam" while I'm watching it, and some of the bits are fun to run back through my head as well. |
If they're not going to nominate The Shield for writing and not going to nominate The Wire AT ALL, they're just wasting my time over at that there TeeVee Acadamee.
