Real hit-or-miss Emmys last night.
to Felicity Huffman winning. Her acceptance speech was awesome (and not just 'cause she name-dropped Aaron Sorkin - my professional idol - and "Sports Night" - the greatest show ever made). She is, imo, possibly the best
actress on television right now, so she absolutely deserved this award.
at all the awards for "Everybody Loves Raymond." How on
earth can you justify calling that the Best Comedy Series when it was up against "Arrested Development" and "Scrubs?" And if we're going in terms of popularity, "Desperate Housewives" had higher ratings. On the plus side, I'll never have to sit through another Ray Romano, Doris Roberts, Patricia Heaton, Peter Boyle, or Brad Garrett Emmy clip.
at "Lost" winning best drama. In my opinion, "Lost" was the best show on the air last year, and absolutely deserved this award. I would have been happy to see "24" get it after their phenomenal year, but kudos to the Academy for awarding it to a brand-new show.
On the same token,
at William Shatner beating Terry O'Quinn and Naveen Andrews. Shatner's "Emmy Idol" segment was funny, but no way was he stronger than O'Quinn this year. I've only seen a couple of episodes but how, exactly, did "Boston Legal" get itself categorized as a drama, anyway?
