Listed below are the category changes, and, my two cents on each change, is it a good thing or bad thing? * Producers can also petition for a certain category in Limited Series versus Drama. They can also petition their placement. – A comedy series will now be defined as a program that clocks in […]
First and foremost, I must say I am happy with all of the Breaking Bad wins, that show deserved every trophy it won tonight, but more on that later. Let’s start with the host, poor Seth he tried, he started out with some great zingers about cable television and Netflix being the most nominated shows, […]
I say it every time I go out to pitch, and I’ll continue to keep saying it. This is the golden age of television. We’re literally witnessing a complete shift in the paradigm. With more buyers than ever before, TV is quickly catching up to the film market. Over the last five years, we’ve witnessed […]
Can Modern Family tie Frasier’s record for the most wins in a series category with 5 wins? Will first year show Orange is the New Black, which is more of a drama in my opinion, do what Desperate Housewives could not, win in this category as a dramedy? Last year there were two big surprises […]
So will/should win at the Emmy Awards in the drama categories this year? If you are trying to win your office pool, you should know that every show competing in drama series submits 6 episodes, or if there is a two hour episode, that counts as one on a tape. Each actor submits one episode, […]
On Saturday August 16th, 2014 the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) handed out 80 trophies for Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards. The number of categories actually increased by five this year, which is almost unfathomable, this award body may rival the Grammy Awards soon. Most of the awards passed out involved things […]
The Primetime Emmy Awards seem to like the same shows, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, American Horror Story, and Fargo lead the 2014 Emmy Awards Nominations To quote Emmy winner Heidi Klum, “one day you are in and the next day you are out!” Does this phrase apply at the Emmy Awards? It did for […]
Emmy nominations will be announced this Thursday, will your favorite show/actors make the cut? Here is who I think will make the cut, and why in the Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series categories. Outstanding Comedy Series The Big Bang Theory (CBS) Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX) Louie (FX) Modern Family (ABC) Orange Is the New Black (Netflix) […]
Emmy Nominations are a week away, look for my predictions soon. Netflix has two series nominations in this grouping, but Orange is the New Black will be in comedy categories, but this a dream ballot, and in mine it’s easily a drama. Outstanding Drama Series “Breaking Bad” “Game of Thrones” “The Good Wife” “House of […]
The Emmy Nominations are going to be announced on July 10th, but that doesn’t mean they will get things right. If I had my choice, these would be my dream nominees in the comedy categories at the Emmy Awards. Drama is coming soon. Outstanding Comedy Series “Broad City” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” “Enlisted” “Louie” “Modern Family” “Veep” […]
Kathy Griffin was the perfect person to host a streaming award show! First and foremost Kathy started out Sunday night by making fun of last years show on HLN, especially the people at her table, and the hosts. Kathy first starts to talk trash about Bethany Frankel who didn’t want to be at last year’s […]
Oh Homeland, where to start? When this show premiered it was so cool. Not a lot of people were watching it yet so it had that inherent underrated thing going on but was good from the get go. The writing was sharp, full of storytelling so engrossing that it was at once suspenseful to the point […]
The Emmys are the biggest night of the year in TV. Here with all the scoop as the academy awards all the wrong people based on a pretentious system of hierarchy, is managing editor Kelly as she live blogs her way through the evening. The Red Carpet – Betty White is the cutest thing in […]

Your best friend Abed is back, if only in print, to give you his predictions for this year’s Emmy race. Here’s the link to the hilarious article from […]
– Aaron Paul for the WIN!!! I think perhaps that this was the year Terry O’Quinn really deserved it but the Breaking Bad supporting actor is so brilliant so consistently that I’m incredibly glad he won. I’ve loved him for years- so yay! – Tina Fey’s dress. I love it when the queen of awkward […]
The announcement is done and while the whole shooting match is a little more pro-Glee than maybe it should be, Modern Family is over-represented, Community under-represented, the Academy Awards once again inexplicably nominated for some of the worst directing I’ve ever seen, Mad Men and 30 Rock each got more than 1 writing nomination (which […]
and here is what they thought: The PreShow: – Carrie Ann Inaba is dumber than we thought she was. Boo. – Chris Harrison is still pretty awesome though. – Chandra Wilson looks amazing! What a pretty dress. – John Krasinski= love. – Love also for Kaley Cuoco, YunJin Kim and Kathy Griffin (among others) – […]
There’s already all the amazing nominees, the wonderful host, the fact that this guy will be there, and the promise of a night filled with everything TV- but now there’s more. So You Think You Can Dance superstar (and Emmy-nominated) choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon D’Umo are bringing their trademark style to the Emmy stage. Two […]
The 61st Primetime Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning (by the amazing team of Chandra “Bailey” Wilson and Jim “Sheldon” Parsons, who both acted suitably humble when their own names were called). The complete list of nominations is available online at emmy.tv. The following are what I consider to be the highlights and curiosities […]
