and your point is?
Like I said in your other thread, Nip / Tuck did win 1 Creative Emmy that wasn't televised for
OUTSTANDING PROSTHETIC MAKEUP FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES, MOVIE OR A SPECIAL
But yeah, in a nutshell, it sucked.
Don't all award shows suck for those fans of a show which didn't win as much as thought it should have?
I'm just glad they didn't get all weepy and give the Emmy to John Ritter. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against him. But he didn't deserve to win, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised they didn't go all maudlin and give it to him as some sort of posthumous career recognition.
I really didn't expect Nip / Tuck to win much, so I wasn't THAT disapointed.
I was glad to see Arrested Development win Best Comedy Series. Hopefully this will boost the ratings enough to get the show out of the cancel category that it's been since it started.
And did you see how big of an ass Sarah Jessica Parker made of herself with her acceptance speech...... passers by [img]confused.gif[/img]
What made it even better is when Kelsey Grammer won for Actor in a comedy and got up and ripped her for her assinine speach! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Did I read right... where Angels in America actually won awards??????
That was the absolute worst piece of crap to ever make it to the airwaves... it sucked so hard I could feel my asshole being pulled out through my eyesockets... I haven't seen acting and writing that bad since I stumbled across a Barney and Friends episode... my wife even said it blew chunks... and she watches The Bachelor...

Star Trek: Enterprise won an Emmy for:
Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore) (for the episode "Similitude") and
Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series (for the episode "Countdown").
Besides Nip/Tuck, I was rooting for 24, CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond.
I was shocked when Raymond didn't win the Writing award. [img]confused.gif[/img]
I mean, Arrested Development is hilarious, but...

HBO has an obvious advantage over network television.
While some networks can show pretty graphic sex, violence and drug use (FX Networks, which airs The Shield and Nip/Tuck), they have to worry about so much more than HBO does.
I don't think it seems quite fair to compare an HBO based program like The Sopranos with CSI.

you have a favorite show that you want to win all the categories it is in, and if it doesn't do well against the competition, then you are going to think the show was bad.
Now if your favorite show won across the board then you are going to have a different impression of what you watched - you are going to think it was the best show you have seen.
Simple human perceptions intermixed with emotions.

I'm not patronizing you when I say this, so I mean it with the utmost respect. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I was actually pulling your chain (as denoted with the winkie in the header of the post) - looks like it worked too! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Nothing meant that deep Daj - [img]smile.gif[/img]
That show had the same general effect of the most awards show on me...http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...p1bluepink.gif
I love awards shows, I always feel so well rested the morning after one of them.
As said previously, my favorite part of the Emmys was when Joely Richardson and Kiefer Sutherland came out on stage together. [img]cool.gif[/img]
My God... aesthetically, they would be the perfect couple.
Wow... I can't believe how many shows i've never seen, or even heard of! I've only actually seen 3 of those titles...2 from comedy central, and one from fox... and i don't feel like i've missed a thing... [img]smile.gif[/img]
did The Shield win any? if not than I stand by my opinion that awards shows suck!
What I don't like is that they don't show the real awards eople wait to see like "Special Effects", "Sound effect", "Make up" and stuff....
....the emmy's are the gay cousin of the Oscars..... [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
I only watch award shows on TVLand~
Woohoo, at least Deadwood won something!
nip/tuck is good....but not for the acting or the script. its more like a soap opera...
you mean it ISN'T a soap?!? [img]confused.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Shield wasn't even nominated for anything, if I remember correctly! [img]mad.gif[/img]Quote:
