TV Talk: The Emmy Awards

Last Sunday, it was a big night for a TV fan: the Emmy Awards!! And even if the Emmy nomination process and choices have been highly criticized over the years for not acknowledging the right and deserving shows, let's face it: the Emmys are still really important in the biz!

I, for once, was kind of okay with the winners this year (well, after last year's really odd winners, it's not like it could get any worse...). Of course, there are still plenty of injustices (well duh: it's the Emmys!) but I think the Academy sorta make this 59th Ceremony better that we could have thought it'd be - by picking the right winners out of their really-flawed nomination list. Let's do a quick list of the major winners I'm happy about, or at least not outraged and insanely mad about lol (in order to focus on the positive!! ;-)

Best Drama: The Sopranos. I don't like the show, but it just went off the air after being such a pop culture phenomenon and a critic's darling, so I'm in peace with this and think it was justified for the show's last year to leave with a bang. But I'm also glad the Academy didn't give all the big awards to the show either as a tribute, but that it "spread the wealth"! ;-)

Best Comedy: 30 Rock. Nice and fresh, really didn't except the show to win! It proved that the Academy could surprise us!

Best Actress in a Drama: Sally Field for Brothers & Sisters. I'm really happy about that, I love the show and Sally deserved to win!

Best Actress in a Comedy: America Ferrera for Ugly Betty. America's terrific actress and really deserved this one! And, as the show didn't win Best Comedy, I'm glad she got this one!

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama: Katherine Heigl for Grey's Anatomy. Everybody knows how I must feel about this, so.. Hurray!!! :D And glad that the show at least got one win in the major categories!

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama: Terry O'Quinn for Lost. Same as above. Glad Lost, which wasn't even nominated for Best Drama this year (a total shame given last season's quality!!), got its share!

So, on the whole: a nice "crop" of winners his year!
