So the Emmys were handed out last night …

September 19, 2011 7:34 AM by Jeremy Feist Comment Filed Under: Emmys Tagged:

Aaaaaaaaand nothing really exciting happened. Everyone was nice to each other, no drinks were thrown (although that did happen somewhere else this weekend … that will come later) and even Charlie Sheen somehow managed to wander onstage and be graceful and sober despite being that guy who once shot his wife and then tried to make a mansion out of breast implants and crystal meth. So yeah, that pretty much encapsulates the entire night. Now here are all the winners via The Huffington Post!

So there’s that. Nothing really all that exciting. Modern Family won ALL THE THINGS, and Peter Dinklage got his own well-deserved Emmy for Game of Thrones and … okay, I’m just going to say it, does anyone else think Peter has a super handsome face? He does! He really does. He is just a handsome guy. And fuck you, I don’t care if he’s a little person, he just has a very classic look to him. Only … you know, fun-sized. Whatever, he’s still taller than most gay porn stars if you can believe it.

Your Cheat Sheet for the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards!

September 16, 2011 6:00 AM by NineDaves Comment Filed Under: Actors, Actresses, Emmys, TelevisionBytes Tagged:

TelevisionBytes with NineDaves

The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards air this Sunday at 8 ET on FOX. Who’ll take the top prizes? Check out our picks below:

Drama Series

Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
Friday Night Lights
Game of Thrones
The Good Wife
Mad Men

Should win: The Good Wife A smart show, with outstanding writing, captivating storylines, and memorable performances. Simply put: there’s no better show on network television.

Will Win: Boardwalk Empire Sure, The Good Wife is the best show on network television. But considering it’s also the only nominee still airing on network television, I’d guess the Emmy voters don’t really care. Mad Men could pick up the prize for a fourth consecutive year (which would tie its number of wins with the records held by Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, and The West Wing). But since Mad Men hasn’t aired a new episode since October 2010 – and won’t air a new episode until March 2012, I’m guessing Don Draper and friends will be out of sight, out of mind – leaving the door wide open for Golden Globe-winning Best Drama Boardwalk Empire to grab the top spot.

Boardwalk Empire

Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Hugh Laurie, House
Timothy Olyphant, Justified

Should win: Jon Hamm Divorce. Death. A new agency. If there was a theme for Don Draper in Season 4 of Mad Men, it would be “new beginnings.” But amidst all Don’s change was the stellar performance of Jon Hamm – who takes all of Don’s intricacies and demons and turns them into pure, unabashed genius.

Will Win: Jon Hamm Sure, Michael C. Hall and Hugh Laurie have never won before. And we seriously can get enough of “Coach” Kyle Chandler. But Jon Hamm’s been nominated for the past three years in a row, and never been able to escape Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. Do you really think voters are not going to take this chance (on Breaking Bad’s off-season) to honor the most iconic character in TV drama history since Tony Soprano?

Jon Hamm

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age
Josh Charles, The Good Wife
Alan Cumming, The Good Wife
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Walton Goggins, Justified
John Slattery, Mad Men

Should win: Alan Cumming Has there been a character this year you loved to hate as much as Eli Gold? He’s sleazy and squirmy and will stop at nothing to win – yet Cumming gives him this insecure emotional center that makes you just root for him. Besides: knowing Alan Cumming outside of this part, you have to give him credit for such an insane transformation.

Will Win: Peter Dinklage Emmy voters love to take chances on the underdogs in this category (see Aaron Paul for Breaking Bad, Zeljko Ivanek for Damages, Alan Alda for The West Wing, etc). Game of Thrones is a big-buzz show, and Dinklage the emotional center of it. Though watch out for Walton Goggins – he’s got strong buzz this year, and could be a real contender.

Peter Dinklage

Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Kathy Bates, Harry’s Law
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Mirelle Enos, The Killing
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men

Should win: Julianna Margulies One of the toughest categories for me this season. Connie Britton’s Tami Taylor holds a very special place in my heart. The fact that I won’t be seeing her on TV next year is just devastating. Meanwhile, Elisabeth Moss’ Peggy Olson has grown so much from Mad Men’s first season. Yet Moss has kept that glimmer in Peggy’s eye the whole time – showing us that she’s still that same girl from Bay Ridge. But I can’t get enough of Julianna Margulies’ ever-suffering Alicia Florrick. Conflicted, betrayed, and now empowered, Margulies makes it pretty impossible to look away from Alicia Florrick.

Will Win: Julianna Margulies With much respect to Elisabeth Moss and Connie Britton, who turned in some of the best performances I’ve seen on television, Margulies has this in the bag.

Julianna Margulies

Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
Michelle Forbes, The Killing
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Margo Martindale, Justified
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife

Should win: Margo Martindale The veteran character actress turned in a powerhouse performance as Justified’s ruthless kingpin – and submitted her best episode all season (where she goes up against the energy company rep).

Will Win: Margo Martindale She’s got all the buzz going for her, so really, it’s hers to lose.

Margo Martindale

Comedy Series

The Big Bang Theory
Glee
Modern Family
The Office
Parks and Recreation
30 Rock

Should win: Parks and Recreation For a show that always lives on NBC’s cancellation bubble, it’s surely an honor for Parks and Rec to just be nominated. But Parks and Rec delivered a consistently smart, original, and downright hysterical third season last year. And considering the arc the show has taken since its first season, there isn’t a comedy more deserving this year in my eyes.

Will Win: Modern Family Then again, Modern Familyis a riot. Plus, it has a broader audience and more relatable storylines. And the entire principle cast is nominated. If MF doesn’t win, it’d be the biggest shock of the night.

Modern Family

Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Louis C. K, Louie
Steve Carell, The Office
Johhny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory
Matt LeBlanc, Episodes
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory

Should win: Steve Carrell It’s hard to believe he’s had five previous nominations with no wins. Now on his sixth and final nomination for The Office, it’s about time to give Steve Carrell his time up at the podium.

Will Win: Steve Carrell For his pitch-perfect portrayal of Michael Scott: the most iconic TV doofus since Homer Simpson.

Steve Carrell

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Ty Burrell, Modern Family
Chris Colfer, Glee
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
Ed O’Neill, Modern Family
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family

Should win: Ed O’Neill It’s not the most standout role. But really – what is Modern Family without the old curmudgeon Jay? Besides, Ed O’Neill has never won an Emmy. For fuck’s sake, GIVE AL BUNDY AN EMMY!

Will Win: Ty Burrell Colfer could snatch this prize up – if it was Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Last year’s winner Stonestreet didn’t really have a breakout moment this season – and it’s he’s tied too closely to Jesse Tyler Ferguson for me. Voters may want to go with Cryer, after the Charlie Sheen nonsense. But I think Ty Burrell is the only one who really stands out on his own. His Phil Dunphy is one of the most loveable morons I’ve seen on television since, well, Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott.

Ty Burrell

Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Laura Linney, The Big C
Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly
Martha Plimpton, Raising Hope
Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation

Should win: Amy Poehler Leslie Knope started off as the over-the-top female Michael Scott. Amy Poehler turned her into a down-to-earth, sweet, loveable kook. Talk about a transformation. Plus: don’t you just want to see what Poehler’s acceptance speech would be like?

Will Win: Laura Linney This is Tina Fey’s sixth straight nominations, but she’s only picked up the trophy once (in 2008). Last year, Edie Falco grabbed the prize for Nurse Jackie. The year before that, Toni Collette for The United States of Tara. I wouldn’t be surprised if cable network Showtime wins again with Linney’s incredibly layered performance as cancer-stricken Cathy Jamison.

Laura Linney

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock
Jane Lynch, Glee
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
Betty White, Hot in Cleveland
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live

Should win: Jane Krakowski I know she’s on the bottom of the Emmy pool, but I don’t care what you say: Jenna Maroney is one of the best characters on television, period. The fact that Jane Krakowski is still Emmy-less is a complete mind-fuck to me.

Will Win: Betty White Okay. So Jane Krakowski isn’t going to win. I obviously know that. And sorry Jane Lynch – you may be hosting the show this year, but you’re not getting a second win for Sue Sylvester. Especially because your second season performance quickly became cliché and tired. Julie Bowen and Sofie Vergara are both amazing in Modern Family – but I fear they’ll cancel each other out. And although a loved Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids, she was a little subdued this season on SNL. Ultimately, you can’t underestimate Betty White’s pull over Emmy voters – and the fact that her sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, will feel very comfortable and familiar to older voters.

Betty White

Reality Competition

The Amazing Race
American Idol
Dancing with the Stars
Project Runway
So You Think You Can Dance
Top Chef

Should win: So You Think You Can Dance The best of the reality competition shows airing right now, SYTYCD is more than just a weekly vote-off talent competition. Each week, viewers are given an education in dance, exposing a whole new generation to a wide array of dance forms. Let the wannabes of American Idol and the D-list chumps of Dancing with the Stars move over: SYTYCD is filled with the best talent in television.

Will Win: Top Chef As much as I love SYTYCD, I understand why they may not get the attention they deserve. American Idol is getting the big push from FOX, hoping the new life of JLo and Stevie Tyler will get them the prize. But I’m not sure Emmy voters love these reality stars trying to swoop in and steal their jobs – so they’ll always vote for non-threatening talent. Like chefs. Hey, Top Chef took top prize last year on a weaker season. The all-stars season in the running this year, on the other hand, should keep the show from packing its knives and going home empty-handed.

Top Chef

What the hell? 2011’s biggest Emmy snubs!

July 14, 2011 1:22 PM by NineDaves Comment Filed Under: Emmys, TelevisionBytes Tagged: ,

TelevisionBytes with NineDaves

As with every awards show, there’s always going to be a list of major snubs that emerge after nominations day. Most of the time, the snubs list is filled with fan favorites and cult classics – shows and actors who gets a lot of love, but not necessarily a lot of critical praise. But this year, the list of Emmy’s ignored nominees has me hella confused!

Sure, some snubs I’m okay with. You won’t see me throwing a fit about last year’s Best Actress in a Drama winner Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) not getting a nod. Or long-time nominees Toni Collette (The United States of Tara), or Mary Louise Parker (Weeds) for that matter. Love them all, but kind of sick of them. I’m also not pissed about the lack of nominations for crowd-pleasing shows like Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, The Waking Dead, Big Love, Community, or Raising Hope. No offense to any of those programs, but I don’t think they delivered the best work of the year.

But the others? Talk about some serious misses! Here’s the few that have me up in arms.

Cougar Town, Busy Phillips, and Courtney Cox
I know, I know. It’s the name – it completely turns you off. But let me tell you what: Cougar Town is one of the funniest shows on television, thanks to its quick-witted writing and phenomenal performances. And it has nothing to do with older women sleeping with younger men either! This is a family comedy – maybe not in the same reign as Modern Family, but believe me – just as dysfunctional. Watch a few episodes and you’ll see – the Emmy voters are clearly blind.

Then there’s Busy Phillips. Busy Phillips has stolen just about every show she’s been in. Popular, Dawson’s Creek, Freaks and Geeks. So it’s no surprise she’s doing the same thing over on CougarTown each week. We can’t begin to say how much we love Phillips’ Laurie, who has grown over the past two seasons from ditsy trainwreck to sassy party girl. Laurie’s hilarious one-liners and complete lack of insecurity make her the most valuable member of the cul-de-sac crew. Now if only Emmy would get with the picture.

But as Courtney Cox will tell you, sometimes they never do. If you didn’t know, after 10 seasons of playing Monica Geller on Friends, Courtney Cox was the only member of the cast who didn’t receive an Emmy nomination. Now, she’s heading up the crew over on ABC’s hysterical CougarTown, and she still can’t catch a break. Why Emmy voters don’t get behind Cox I’ll never understand. Her character Jules is a neurotic, self-obsessed, over-bearing mother – who surprisingly is nothing like the neurotic, self-obsessed, over-bearing friend she used to play. Is it David Arquette? Are they holding that against her?

Nick Offerman, Parks and Recreation
Look, I love Modern Family just as much as the next guy. And I was delighted to see that Ed O’Neil, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, and Ty Burrell received nominations in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series catagory. But if it means Nick Offerman couldn’t receive a nomination for playing the outstanding Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation, then I think we could have lost a Modern Family man here and there.

The Voice
It’s early still in The Voice’s hopefully long run, so I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised that the Emmys wouldn’t notice the fantastic new singing competition. But for a show that took such a stale formula and completely revived the reality singing competition genre, you have to give it some credit. I would have rather seen The Voice in the running for Outstanding Competition Reality Program than say, American Idol. In protest, I say we all turn our chairs around during this category come Emmy night.

Katey Sagal, Sons of Anarchy
So Katey Sagal is good enough in Sons of Anarchy to win a 2011 Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, but she can’t get an Emmy nomination?!? What the hell are they thinking?!

Southland and Regina King
When TNT picked up NBC’s cancelled Southland, I hoped that it’s cable-network status would give it some more attention come Emmy season. Sadly, Southland got the shaft once again. I’m not sure why either. The cop-drama is so gritty, so honest, and so different from any other cop show on television that I thought Emmy voters would jump all over it. I know I couldn’t look away all year.

At the center of Southland’s pulse is Regina King, who put in one of the best performances by an actor I’ve ever seen. King gives Det. Lydia Adams a hard, cold edge that the job demands, while still letting her heart shine through now and then. It’s a layered, nuanced performance, and one of the main reasons I come back week after week.

How I Met Your Mother and Neil Patrick Harris
Six seasons in, I’m still not giving up the desire to see How I Met Your Mother up there with the Best Comedy Series nominees. Sure, the show has won Emmys before (for Art Direction for a Multi-Camera Series three years in a row). But it deserves Outstanding Comedy Series praise for its strong ensemble, layered storytelling, and overall hysterical moments.

As for the lack of nomination for Neil Patrick Harris – well, to say I’m shocked would be an understatement. Having been nominated for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series every year since 2007, I thought for sure this would be the year NPK finally got up to the podium. After all, his Barney Stinson finally had a decent storyline to chew on this year. Alas, I suppose last year’s Emmy-win for Outstanding guest Actor in a Comedy Series (Glee) is as good as Neil’s gonna get.

Fringe
Emmy voters don’t usually get behind sci-fi shows – and even when they do, they can only support one show at a time. So it’s no wonder that with the buzz behind Game of Thrones, there was no way Fringe was getting love this year. It’s sad too – this past “holy shit I can’t believe they did that” season was clearly Fringe’s best. Better luck next year.

Lauren Graham
It’s not just that Lauren Graham has never won an Emmy. It’s that she’s never even been nominated. You’d think that after seven seasons as Lorelai on Gilmore Girls, she would have gotten at least one nomination. But alas, Emmy never gave her love. Now, Graham’s turning in one of the best performances of her career over on NBC’s Parenthood, and again she’s 0:2. I would have easily swapped her for Kathy Bates in the awful Harry’s Law, wouldn’t you?

Survivor
I know it’s seemingly been on the air since the birth of time, but Survivor getting snubbed for Outstanding Reality Competition Program completely blows my mind. Not only is it consistently better than Dancing with the Stars and The Amazing Race, but its just coming off one of it’s best season’s yet (ahhh Boston Rob!). It deserved to be up there – though I can’t be too mad since So You Think You Can Dance took it’s spot (go Cat Deeley!).

Any snubs I missed that you’re totally pissed off about? Let’s hear it in the comments section!

The 63rd Primetime Emmy nominations!

TelevisionBytes with NineDaves

While you were hitting snooze or rubbing that junk out of your eyes, we were up early as the nominations for the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards were announced! And with no new episodes of Breaking Bad this year, we were finally able to get some new blood in Drama Series categories (hello Game of Thrones)! Other surprises? First-time nominee and breakout Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy in Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for her work Mike & Molly. Cat Deeley finally getting love as an Outstanding Reality Show Host nominee for So You Think You Can Dance. And Johhny Galecki picked up his first nomination (Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series) for The Big Bang Theory (though he will forever in our hearts be known as Darlene’s boyfriend).

We’ll be back later today with the major snubs (Katey Sagel! CougarTown!) , and again on the week before for our guide on how to win your office Emmy pool.

Jon (Hamm) and Kate Plus 8?

August 30, 2010 6:08 PM by Jeremy Feist Comment Filed Under: Emmys, People Tagged: ,

Not content to simply ruin the fantastic Emmy Awards opening (as well as her own children), Kate Gosselin is now hoping to parlay her invitation to the Primetime Emmys into an acting gig on … oh fuck me sideways. She’s hoping to land an acting gig on Mad Men. For real real, not for play play. Say what you will, still a hell of a lot better than Jon Gosselin‘s career as … whatever it is that Jon does. Is he even still alive? God knows his career isn’t.

Kate Gosselin, 35, who took part in host Jimmy Fallon‘s opening song-and-dance number, saw her invitation to the Emmys as the “perfect place” to network with casting directors and producers, according to PopEater.com. “Kate has made her mind up that she’s going to be an actress and hopes her new profession will result in her finding a new man,” a Gosselin pal told the gossip website. “The show she would really like to be cast in is Mad Men,” the source said in all seriousness. SOURCE

That screaming sound you may have just heard in the distance was the entire cast and crew shitting themselves simultaneously. Thankfully, they have procedures for trouble on set …

Kate: Hey there! I’m here to audition for a part on the show! … Hey, where is everyone?

Christina Hendricks: Oh sorry, you just missed them. They’re all … ummm …

Producers: (*Hiding in Christina’s massive cleavage*) At Starbucks. We’re all at Starbucks.

Kate: Did your boobs just talk?

Jon Hamm: (*Also hiding in Christina’s massive cleavage*) No.

Christina: No.

The Emmys made it work!

August 30, 2010 12:02 PM by Jeremy Feist Comment Filed Under: Emmys Tagged:

Alright, confession time: I didn’t watch The Emmy Awards last night. Now, before any of you take that as an elitist little comment about being too good for the Emmys, I’m not; I watched Big Brother 12 instead. *Le Sigh* Anyway, while I was watching Ragan cry for, like, the billionth time on national television (get a hold of yourself man!), this happened.

Man, am I ever dumb.

For those of you who ever wondered what would happen if you took Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, the cast of Glee, Betty White, Joel McHale, Tim Gunn and Hurley from Lost, and made them all perform Bruce Springsteen‘s Born to Run … Well, your oddly specific dream has come true. Although be warned: Kate Gosselin is in this, which kind of ruins the entire thing. Completely. Well, she already ruined eight kids; what’s one musical number in the grand scheme of things?
