The best part of the Emmys is today because the nominations are out and for one brief moment you have hope that your show will beat out the Fraisers and LA Laws and shine in the Emmy spotlight. Last year it actually happened when Lost and Arrested Development took home the top prizes but it couldn’t happen again could it? So let’s look at some of the high and low lights of this year’s crop.
Nomination Most Likely To Piss Off Tom Cruise: South Park for Outstanding Animated Program- Not only did South Park get nominated but it’s for the episode Trapped in the Closet which is heavy on the Cruise douche baggery.
Least Deserving Nomination: Flight 93/Outstanding Made for Television Movie- How bad must a 911 movie be if you actually start laughing at it? This could be the worst nomination since the Harlem Globetrotters got one for Scooby Doo.
Biggest Non Nomination: Lost/Outstanding Drama Series- This is the Academy’s way of saying, “If you don’t start answering some questions about that fucking island you can kiss your future Emmys goodbye.”
The “Which One of These Things is Not Like The Other” Nomination: TIE Charlie Sheen/Outstanding Lead Actor Comedy and Two and a Half Men/Outstanding Comedy Series- Really Academy? Sheen? If you look at the stellar candidates that complete the rest of these categories, Sheen and his show stick out like VD infected thumbs.
Most Deserving Nomination: Scrubs/Outstanding Comedy Series- It took becoming a midseason replacement for this show to finally get the credit it deserves but kudos to the Academy for recognizing a show that is in it’s creative prime. However I'll be cheering for Arrested to go 2 for 2 and further embarrass FOX for cancelling it.
