Emmys!!

So Emmy time comes round again and we must go through a little mini-review of the nominations, categorising our views thusly.

The Good

• Nomination for King Of Queens' Kevin James thoroughly deserved.
• Good to see whole host of nods for Arrested Development again, not to mention recognition for The Office.
• Nod for Denis Leary in Rescue Me, also very much deserved for an excellent show.
• Nods for Law & Order: SVU finally giving public showing of which Law And Order is best.
• Lisa Kudrow getting nomination for cancelled The Comeback.
• Us Brits keeping up appearances with Bleak House racking up a few nods and Helen Mirren winning won for Elizabeth I
• Ever brilliant 24 gets 12 nominations.
• Nominations for both Daily Show and Family Guy show true taste.
  

The Bad

• Far too many nominations for the enjoyable but hardly outstanding Grey's Anatomy.
• Entourage favoured over vastly superior HBO shows like The Wire or Deadwood. Especial irritation at Ian McShane not being nominated for his towering performance in the latter.
• Snubs galore in fact this year: Hugh Laurie in House, Jason Bateman in Arrested Development, Zach Braff in Scrubs, Jimmy Smits in The West Wing and Hank Azaria in Huff to name but a few.
• Total snubbage for both Desperate Housewives and Lost, both of which are far superior to Grey's Anatomy or Two And A Half Men (DH could be comedy category).
• Any sort of recognition for Commander In Chief, categorically the weakest hit show we've yet had imported, is unforgivable.

The Ugly

• Geena Davis
• Two And A Half Men earning nominations is just plain sick. Not only this, but people have been snubbed for Charlie Sheen to be nominated. Sick. Just Sick.

Other than that a pretty predictable ceremony awaits. Expect 24 to clean up this year and for Sandra Oh to win Grey's Anatomy's only award. Also, rooting for Daily Show.
