So just got up and saw the noms. (What? I was up late last night!)
They snubbed Lost, which shouldn't come as a big surprise. Yes, it won last year but S2 was definitely nowhere near as good as S1. Still, is it a better show than The Sopranos? HELL YEAH. The Sopranos is the most overrated show in the history of television. I can't believe it's still getting good reviews at this stage in its life. It's dull, incredibly pretentious, talky and pointless. I got HBO again just for its return but stopped watching before the end of this season. Face it folks, it's a shadow of the show it used to be. I've personally never cared much for House or West Wing. *shrugs* So, despite my problems with Lost this year, I'd still put it in there ahead of those two shows.
But I'm excited that 24 is getting a lot of love, not only for Kiefer but for the magnificent acting of Gregory Itzin & Jean Smart. I do wish Reiko Aylesworth had gotten a nom for S3, dammit, but if they were going to start recognizing supporting players, this is a good year to do it.
Also, Desmond!!! ;-) Yay! And Christina Yang. Those nominations make me happy.
And I had to give
foxxcub a call just now to let her know that her boy, Christopher Meloni, got a nomination at long last. YAAAY! ;-)

They cancel Rome, I think the cable company is going to get a call.
BUT YAY!!! 24, I just saw that Jean got a nomination, she so SO deserves it, and really, that show is just so damn good, I'm so happy I started watching it.
And Chris, it's about freakin' time..I've been waiting for this since the all time best season ever of Oz..Season 3.
I don't watch Grey's, and to be honest, if it didn't win anything, I wouldn't be heartbroken at all, I'm sick of all the Dr. McDreamy stuff..but I do have to say I'm torn between Kyle and Henry for best guest star.
The 24 noms made me very happy. Jean Smart absolutely deserves it. She's terrific in everything I've ever seen her in.
I agree Meloni is long overdue for some recognition!
Grey's is a good show. Not the best on TV, but very watchable. I'd have to give the award to Henry because Kyle was only in one two-part episode and only had a few scenes. Henry was a much bigger presence on Lost and did a much better job, I think.
And big-up! to teh Meloni ... accolades for him are loooong overdue *fangirl squee!*
Yay for Meloni! I hope he wins. ;-) Kiefer's already got a few trophies on his shelf.
I'm not surprised at all that LOST is not nominated.I'm a bad fangirl,but they deserved the nomination this year.Though,I'm surprised that no actors were nominated-no Josh:(
I'm very happy for Chris Melonie,of course and way to go,Des!
Aww, as long as Josh is as sexy as he is, he'll never get any awards recognition. It's the way these things seem to work. Except for Meloni, LOL. But then again he's not viewed as a "sex symbol" as much in the industry, I think.
Chris got his first nom after 10 years or so of amazing job on every single role?Josh has time:)
As someone who never watched "The Sopranos" I can't really comment. I never got the show to begin with, so...I really thought it had it's hay-day a three or four years ago.
The Sopranos is loooong past its heyday. But then again, so is The West Wing, from what I understand. I was never a fan of that show (it's so damn TALKY!) so I never got why it kept getting all the awards recognition. At least this is the last year it can qualify.
I hate HBO. That whole network is so overrated. *bleh*
And yeah, ever since SATC went off the air, HBO hasn't been worth watching. SFU was good for a while, but wow did that start sucking before the end. I started hating all the characters, well, OK, mostly fucking Nate, to the point where I never want to see Peter Krause in anything else! Talk about your whiny navel-gazing assholes!
Were your ears bleeding after she squealed? ;-)
Sopranos was a huge let down this season. I've gotten into Big Love though (Okay, I'm majorly hooked) so I'm going to keep the channel. Mormons should never be more interesting than the mob but...meh!
Sopranos was a bust. Has been last few years, apart from the Adrianna storyline. I watched a few eps of Big Love and yeah, definitely better than Sopranos these days. Sexier too!
HOW WAS
...:P
She did call me the other day and sounds like she's having fun, jet skiing and stuff. ;-) Is it Saturday yet?
NOT SOON ENOUGH.
But seriously, Sean Hayes again? But no Johnny C? What a crock of shit.
However, I was extremely happy to see that the SPN pilot got nods - even if it was for music/sound editing only. It still made me *squee*, as we all know the WB is notorious for getting completely overlooked.
I didn't look at all the technical nods, but yay for SPN getting some recognition! ;-) And yes, the WB always got shafted at Emmy time. What else is new?!
The Sopranos is incredibly overrated and fucking DITTO the West Wing. *Snorts*
I was cheering for the Meloni nom too! So glad he finally got his due. :)
Word on everything else. ;)
What's your icon of? Something comic booky? X-Men?
And yeah, that's Gambit and Rogue. I'm feeling very comic booky here lately. ;) I guess because X3 let me down so, I needed to retreat into the good canon-ness.
*Matches your Desmond icon*
Aha. I have to agree that X3 was a real comedown. And I have no desire to see Superman Returns. Why Bryan, why?
And hurrah for Drinky!Desmond.
I'll admit that Bosworth is not on my favorite (I mean, seriously, what has she done other than be Orlando Bloom's girlfriend?) and Marsden needs to find a job OTHER than that of 'the other boyfriend,' but visually? It was really stunning.
I don't see how Superman Returns couldn't be better. Hell, X3 was better!!
