Tee-vee, tee-vee, tee-vee!
Jul. 15th, 2005 03:47 pmWoohoo! Hugh Laurie got an Emmy nom for House! This is happy-making; it's a tough role and I'm hard-pressed to think of a moment when he played it anything but pitch-perfect.
Other good stuff in the Emmy noms: Terry O'Quinn is up for Best Supporting as Locke in Lost. Yay Admiral Pressman! ::rotfl:: But really, he's also pitch-perfect in pretty much anything he does, so it's much deserved. Tony Shalhoub is up for Best Actor in a comedy in Monk. I've been meaning to tell TiVo to grab that, because I caught a few eps at random, and it's a far sight better than anything else on USA Network, to say the very least. :)
Also, the "Three Stories" episode of House and "Walkabout" from Lost are up for writing noms--personally, I'm thinking that "Three Stories" should take it, because it was such a fun and well-constructed episode. I feel like "Walkabout" was more contingent on the quality of the acting; the episode being Locke-centric was a big part of why it turned out awesome. :)
Stinkers in the Emmy noms: The West Wing. I didn't even know that show was still *on*. I don't watch it nowadays, but I hear that it has basically been on a steady decline for the past few seasons. BOOOO. Also: Will and Grace?? I mean, yeah, it's not a bad show, but is it really worthy of that many nominations? On the other hand, there is a real dearth of sitcoms that are actually funny nowadays, so who am I kidding? W&G probably *is* among the best offerings of the year. Sigh.
Anyway, I'm glad, glad, glad that it's Friday! It has been way busy this week. Going to a party tomorrow eve, and the rest of the weekend will involve lots of WoW, sleeping, and maybe some projects, if I'm not feeling too brain-drained.
