The Emmys Are Still Addicted to Irrelevancy

The Primetime Emmy noms were announced today. Kudos for recognizing 30 Rock, Extras, and Brothers & Sisters.

Huge mistakes: The Starter Wife, Boston Legal, etc.

More audacious, though, was failing to (again) genuinely recognize some of the best shows on television: The Wire, Gilmore Girls (THROW IT A BONE!), Battlestar Galactica, and Friday Night Lights.

Las Latinas love us some La Betty, but when TV miraculously manages to achieve so much, you cannot nominate Kiefer Sutherland in place of any of the young actors on the finest season of Baltimore's (and America's) mirror.


With that, the three-hour Emmy Awards ceremony will be broadcast Sept. 16 by Fox from the Shrine Auditorium, and we'll be playing new drinking games.
