Lisa Edelstein is such an amazing actress…she definitely deserves attention for her fabulous work!
Kaley Cuoco in a best comedy actress of the year award? Is this column now being written by the writers of Grey’s Anatomy?
Thanks Ausiello! I’m glad to see you picked some people and shows that usually don’t make the typical Emmy list. And probably won’t make the 2009 Emmy list. Thanks for acknowledging Chuck! The show is so cute and funny. Have a safe and Happy New Year!
Great to see “Chuck” get the nod. I really love that show…I hope it survives. Jim Parsons and “The Big Bang Theory” are great as well. Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock anyone?
Oh my gosh yay!! Lisa Edelstein ROCKS! I’m so glad that she finally got acknowledged for her kick-ass acting!! Lisa all the way!!
LOVE the Friday Night Lights shout outs. I don’t know how to get more people to watch that show – but EVERYONE should!!! It never ever disappoints, but unfortunately never seems to get the credit it so deserves. For a show that is primarily made up of teens, Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler FINALLY make the parents’ storyline just as interesting as the kids’ stories. And if nothing else, just watch it for Taylor Kitsch.
Not even a final nod for Boston Legal!
SO psyched that you picked Chuck as your fav comedy series. That show is AWESOME and so under-appreciated!
You forgot The Wire!
*sob*
Michael!! I so totally agree with you with Chuck! It’s so underrated, it drives me crazy. I am all over Kaley Couco as actress…She is a freaking hoot. And, as for Jim Parsons and Zachari Levi..DEAD ON my brotha
*shriek* Aussie, you remembered Chuck! Seriously, how do we get more people to watch this show?! Wait, wait, I know . . . RELEASE THE CASEY.
LOST!!!! Best drama….hands down!!! Michael Emerson….best supporting actor!!!!!
These choices are not at all what I expected. hmmm.. strange.
You are revving up my New Year with Chuck love! Thanks Ausiello!!
Thanks so much for the Chuck love! That show has it all: comedy, action, romantic chemistry, family drama, friend drama. And it just makes me smile! Watch, people, watch!
