F' The Emmys

So, I just looked at Boston.Com and there was an article about the emmy nominations being announced today. And first of all, I want to know, why the hell do they announce them at like 5 in the morning LA time? Is it that important that other countries get the nominations, considering there aren't any BBC shows up for best reality program, although there should be.


Let me ask you this...

How does Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney on How I Met Your Mother, arguably the greatest television role since Latka Gravas, not get nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a comedy. It is the single greatest comedic performance on TV today! And more on this, Was Will and Grace funny? Ever? How long with the Emmy's continue to suckle on NBC's Ass? First it was Frasier picking up more Emmy's than Scott Weiland picked up arrests for Posession, I think even the dog (that just passed away) got a nomination for suporting actor a few times, now it's Will and Grace. I swear to god, that show stopped being edgy about 3 minutes into the first show. Oh my God Gay People!!!!!! Let's give them emmy's, maybe they won't realize we won't give them the right to marry!!! I will say that the character Jack, played by Sean something or other is probably one of the better parts of that show, but that doesn't mean he should be winning emmy's every f'n year. Barney is the best character on a comedy series...period...and I will not back down until that is known by everyone.

I do give the Emmy's credit for nominating Allison Janney and Alan Alda from The West Wing. But Martin Sheen, he was barely in this past season, he hardly deserves to be nominated as a lead in a drama series. Even if this was the best non-sorkin West Wing, Sheen's character was not in it enough for him to be nominated.

I know I'm rambling, but didn't Weeds get nominated, and didn't Mary Louise Parker win a Golden Globe for her role in it a few months ago? Why didn't that transfer over to the emmys? I mean, has that much quality programming come out in that time? Elizabeth Perkins, Kevin Nealon, Mary Louise Parker and Justin Kirk all deserved to be nominated in my opinion. It's one of the fuge top 5 of shows out there on the air.

One other is Entourage, and Jeremy Piven, who is awesome deserves a nomination for supporting actor, but I think that Kevin Dillon aka Johnny Drama shouldn't be overlooked. Maybe it's because these shows are soooo Awesome the assholes at the academy feel that they can't nominate more than one person per show or something. I don't know but it's just wrong. Why limit it to five nominees, if people are awesome enough, just nominate them and let people pick from 7 or 8 people instead of just 5.

Finally, in the Reality Show/Competition category, I really have no real qualms with the shows picked, survivor, project runway, amazing race. But Ed Vs. Spencer needs to be on that list somehow...if you haven't seen the show it is about two friends, who I hear are former professional snowboarders, who live together. Every show they come up with a competition. Oh yeah, and they are English and call eachother names like Twat and Cock all the time. So they have these competitions like "Who can become the most famous", "Who Can Gain The Most Weight" and "Who Do Women Like More" and hilarity ensues, there is constant attempts to sabotage, there is trash talking and mind games, there is drunkeness, there's a little bit of everything. Then the winner gets to put the loser through a Humiliation, which often involved nakedness or runins with the cops.

It's great, watch it, and vote for it for an Emmy next year. Finally, I think the Duffless Foundation should be responsible for all awards given to movies and tv shows. I mean it's only fair that the two most awesome bloggers in the world be allowed to bestow awards upon movies and tv shows.

Right?
