2005 Emmy Nominations - Thoughts!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Jason Bateman (Arrested Development)
Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Tony Shalhoub (Monk)
Zach Braff (Scrubs)
Eric McCormack (Will & Grace)

I officially call a boycott of �Everybody Loves Raymond� � what, it�s off the air? Oh, I�ve never watched it so how would I know. I hate Ray Romano and his stupid loser show. What an asshole. And Eric McCormack, is he really getting nominated because he�s a straight man �acting� gay? Will is the least funny and the weakest cast member that �W&G� has.
Jason Bateman I love you and you better win this bitch!


OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives)
Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives)
Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives)
Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm In The Middle)

I don�t know why people are so enamored with Teri Hatcher � yeah she�s kooky on the show but she�s still Teri Hack, I mean Hatcher. Have I mentioned the BAN of �Raymond� already? Come on already with the nominations. Oy. Oh � Oh � Oh and WHO ON EARTH WATCHES �Malcolm in the Middle� these days? Obviously the same jackoffs that aren�t watching Lauren Graham over on the WB or Kristen Bell over at UPN.


OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development)
Jeremy Piven (Entourage)
Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Sean Hayes (Will & Grace)

Piven, dude� Let�s Hug It Out Bitch! Please. I love Jeremy Piven and if anyone in this category deserves to win it is this man! His portrayal of Ari is one of the highlights of my week and he never disappoints. Again with the �Raymond� I�m so over it. �Raymond� is the new �Sopranos� � enough already. Can someone tell me why Michael Cera (George Michael on �Arrested Development� is not on this list? Those Emmy voters need to pull their old ass heads out of old asses and recognize.


OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Jessica Walter (Arrested Development)
Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Holland Taylor (Two And A Half Men)
Conchata Ferrell (Two And A Half Men)
Megan Mullally (Will & Grace)

This is the only category where I won�t rip on �Raymond� because I actually love me some Doris Roberts. I�ll ignore this one long enough to say �Hurrah� for Jessica Walter � Lucille #1! Though I do not watch �Two and a Half Men� I do love me some ballsy Holland Taylor and the ample Conchata Ferrell. Karen Walker, always deserves a place on this list so no complaints there� �Raymond!�


OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Fred Willard (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Victor Garber (Will & Grace)
Jeff Goldblum (Will & Grace)
Bobby Cannavale (Will & Grace)
Alec Baldwin (Will & Grace)

Did they invent this category to just give �Will & Grace� more nominations? This means the end is so not in sight with these damn guest stars. It�s �Fagasy Island� over there with all those cheesy guests.


OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Kathryn Joosten (Desperate Housewives)
Lupe Ontiveros (Desperate Housewives)
Georgia Engel (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Cloris Leachman (Malcolm in the Middle)
Blythe Danner (Will & Grace)

Kathryn Joosten? Who? Is that Ms. Huber? Forget Martha Huber, what about her evil sister Felicia � looooooves her! Do I need to point out the �Malcolm� and �Raymond� nods again? Honestly.


OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
Arrested Development
Desperate Housewives
Everybody Loves Raymond
Scrubs
Will & Grace

I cannot believe that �Gilmore Girls� is not on this list. I do not watch the show but have a few times, enough to know it is hands down on of the wittiest and smartly written shows today. To nominate the barely noticed �Will and Grace� is obnoxious and is that �Raymond� I see in there? Why don�t they just go ahead and nominate �Britney and Kevin: Chaotic� in this category � that was the funniest thing on television.

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
James Spader (Boston Legal)
Ian McShane (Deadwood)
Hugh Laurie (House)
Hank Azaria (Huff)
Kiefer Sutherland (24)

And Matthew Fox�s name is missing because?


OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Jennifer Garner (Alias)
Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit)
Patricia Arquette (Medium)
Glenn Close (The Shield)
Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under)

Kristen Bell anyone� Bueller� Bueller�


OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
William Shatner (Boston Legal)
Oliver Platt (Huff)
Naveen Andrews (Lost)
Terry O�Quinn (Lost)
Alan Alda (The West Wing)

Although they completely snubbed Matthew Fox they did get it right with nominating my miracle man, Locke! Who knew Terry O�Quinn would have a career after those Stepfather movies?



OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy)
Blythe Danner (Huff)
Tyne Daly (Judging Amy)
CCH Pounder (The Shield)
Stockard Channing (The West Wing)

Tubby Tubby 2x4 Tyne Daly gets nominated but we can�t throw some love or a rescue boat on over to Sun on that island of �Lost�? She pulled out some of the most amazingly heartbreaking scenes this past year � I would declare racism if Sandra Oh and CCH Pounder weren�t nominated. Drats.


OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
Deadwood
Lost
Six Feet Under
24
The West Wing

And the winner is� �Veronica Mars�! She wasn�t nominated? I�m sorry I thought �The West Wing� was up there by mistake. My bad.


OUTSTANDING REALITY PROGRAM
Antiques Roadshow
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Penn & Teller: Bulls---!
Project Greenlight
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Ty Pennington�s scream fest was nominated? That�s Bulls---! I hate Ty Pennington and that bullhorn he screams into all the time. Dude, you�re miked � we can hear ya! The deaf woman next to me can hear you for Christ Sake.


OUTSTANDING REALITY/COMPETITION PROGRAM
The Amazing Race
American Idol
The Apprentice
Project Runway
Survivor

Will Austin Scarlet design the gown Charla will wear to the Emmy�s? That would be quite Amazing! How come �Rob and Amber Get Married� wasn�t anywhere on this nomination list? This might be the only category the voters got right!
