Yeah, kind of shrewd for them to cast two female geek-friendly icons in an extremely girly movie. Might be fun if forced to go on a date.

So glad Lost lost.

Forget all the Awards stuff for a moment. What Martin Short did on Damages could help to redefine his career. That is if he doesn't start doing shit like Clifford 2.

Odds are that this means that Bryan Cranston won't win for Best Actor. I expect to be proven wrong in like twenty minutes.

Short did something incredible this year. Hopefully he follows that path.

Cranston has to win. His work this season easily eclipses anything done in the past.

They seem to be spreading the love a little bit, and, as I mentioned, nobody so far this year has won before. I'm rooting for Hamm to break through this year. It's all about "The Gypsy and the Hobo," which was the episode he submitted.

It'll be Hall, I think. A) He's incredibly good and B) He won the Golden Globe and has the "I beat cancer" card.

Like I said, I can't complain, because Cranston kills it every time, but Hall is incredible and Chandler has deserved one for four years.

Katey Sagal was robbed for not even being nominated. And you haven't even watched SoA, so don't be a snob.

Also, let it be said, I'm not dissing Cranston. He's incredible on Breaking Bad. I just had other horses in this race, who were arguably as good as he was this year.

Hamm (or someone else) can win next year as Cranston/Breaking Bad won't be eligible.

But I can see Cranston 4peating the following year. The guy is amazing and the show is basically designed not to repeat itself. It's about change, after all.

I don't care if he won 45 times. If Cranston continues to act the same way he's been doing, he deserves to win every year. It's supposed to be the best actor of the year. Not how many times did he already won.

Saw the pilot! Willing to give it another shot!

But,* still it's a show. About bikers. With a huge, vocal fanbase of meatheads. Of course I'm being a snob.

Breaking Bad is my favorite show on Tv. Cranston becoming the new James Spader/Tony Shaloub is great. They should have done this with Michael Chiklis after he won for the first season on the Shield.

BTW: I was pulling For Michael C. Hall (Luckily, it will be him and Jon Hamm duking it out next year).

I think TV awards are going through a phase similiar to when the Academy started backing alot of Indies in the mid 90's.

I'm gonna say they'll be pushed out by Buscemi on Boardwalk Empire or Hoffman in Luck.

There's a huge politics element to it, too. Let's not pretend the Emmys are a bastion of quality who have always awarded the right actors. And who has/hasn't won before plays a big part of it. One of the most common criticisms of the Emmys is that they award the same people over and over regardless of quality, but because they're the "safe" choice.

Jon Hamm and Kyle Chandler delivered some of the best work of their careers this season, and that's impressive, because Chandler has been astonishing on that show before. If Cranston was that good, and I'm willing to bet he was, I'm wrong. I'm just saying...I'd like to see somebody else win.

Was that awful Lost song representative of how Fallon's hosting has gone?

Also, do the Emmys actually matter? I know winning an Oscar can boost the careers of actors AND filmmakers in a big way, and that the Emmys a show can win can help it get viewers (or, in the case of Arrested Development, a second season) but do they help individual careers out much?

Jimmy Fallon has been hilarious tonight, I agree.

Loved his tribute to the beloved shows that ended, especially the perfect summation of LOST to the music of Green Day.

Patrick, an Emmy is better than a Golden Globe but is one of the lower-ranked of the big Entertainment awards. They're not the joke that the Grammys are, and they have helped shows occasionally (I'd argue that since AD had a second season by the time they won, it helped them get a third), but they've still made some colossal boners in their day. They've gotten better since they revamped their voting system, but not by much.

Also, what Tati said.

First four or five eps are really rough, but halfway through the season it starts working as a series. Season 2 is a near previously unheard of quality jump, though. Best to think of it as an Oz-like soap opera, minus ridiculous body count.
