Eh, I don't agree, but damn if you weren't funny in the delivery of the message.

Well, thanks Joanie. That's a very civil reply for this place.

I love the viciousness of the piece, Cerulean, but Lost is a great show.

And this is coming from me. I hate almost everything on TV.

That is all.

Well, again, for BlogCritics, a very civil post. Thanks.

I am still trying to stop crying, I'm laushginhg, oops, typo, laughing so hard!!! C., I knew I liked you for a reason! RIGHT ON!!! RIGHT ON!!! RIGHT ON!!!

>>> I just looked at the screen briefly and saw the puke-making sight of the entire cast and crew of Lost on stage,...<<<...>>> Edgar G. Robinson is the last person in the world who can read. They are handing out Emmys to random targets. Talent no longer matters.<<<

I tried to watch "Lost" as well, as so many folks I know are like, "Oh it's like the "X-Files", only way better", I don't know what the hell they're talking about...and the "E. L. Raymond" yeah, shut up already, AGGGHHHH.

Go C. !!!!

It's nothing like the X-Files. It's different than any other show I can think of.

There do seem to be a number of shows that are influenced by the X-files this season, however.

That is all.

Bobba, XXXXXX's you are talking to me, sort of again. You're not hurling "POOP", that's a good sign, right? I miss you.

X-Files was THE Best. Hey, see my "House" review? Love that show, at least for now.
Much LoveXXXXXXXXXXX's

When wasn't I talking to you, Jewels? It's sweet that ya missed me, baby, but I'm still right here. I never went anywhere :)

That is all.

Thanks Jewels. Sometimes I work on my writing for hours. I love it when someone takes the time to notice it.

It's okay to hate television and rant about it. However, you lose all credibility when you say there were several nominations for "Two and a Half Men," which was nominated for nothing. So at least get your facts straight.

Sharon, check out this link Emmy Nominees and tell C. you're sorry. Supporting actresses in a comedy.... :)

Maybe the show was more comprehensible whizzing by on fast-forward. She could have gone into an acid flashback when she saw Donald Trump dressed in overalls singing the theme song to Green Acres. I know a lot of people had to be hospitalized.

Conchata Ferrel and Taylor Holland of Two and a Half Men were both nominated Emmys this year for Outstanding Supporting Actresses in a Comedy.

I like Conchata Ferrel but her part is pretty small. There was an amusing interlude where Camryn Manheim played her sister (I think) and they totally hijacked the screen from poor Charlie Sheen. They almost physically crushed him too. Workers comp claim!

Cerulean - Sweet.

About the Peter Sellers thing: I have a theory about the Miniseries/Made for TV Movie category. It should be called the "Best Movie Actor who Deigns to do TV" Emmy. It has a pathetic quality to it, like inviting the cool kid you hardly know to your birthday party.

The Emmys are going to give a nomination to any big name, no matter the quality of their TV work. And miniseries frequently draw movie actors. (I vaguely remember Angels in America sweeping this category on the strength of some Oscar winners.) Based on number of viewers, the Best Sound Editor on a Talk Show is more important than Blythe Danner, but the Miniseries Emmy always gets a lot of attention. Why? Only one reason I can think of. It's geared to bring big names to the red carpet, the hall, and probably the stage.

Another example of the Big Dog Syndrome: last year, James Earl Jones was nominated for Best Guest on "Everwood". I love Everwood, and I thought he was solid, but was he the best thing on the show? He was the only nominee from Everwood, practically the only nominee from the WB. James Earl O'Malley wouldn't have gotten the nomination.

I noticed that most of the nominations were from top-rated shows, Everybody Loves Raymond, Desperate Housewives, Lost. Nine Emmys went to the Sellers thing, a heavily advertised and promoted show with an expensive oscar-winning movie actor. They actually have a category for best reality competition shows now which is really, really pandering. I don't think Entourage won one Emmy. I have problems with the crudeness and misogyny on the show but there's talent there, perhaps more than all the shows that won combined. I understand that it only draws half the numbers of other HBO series (probably all the women tuning out). Is there a connection between lower ratings and the lack of Emmys? Is there connection between high numbers or big expenses and Emmys? Who is profiting from this? The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences? The Networks?

Four Emmy's for Brad Garrett for doing Everybody Loves Raymond for nine years in a row? He won this one against Jeremy Piven. That is simply insupportable. The Emmy's now have no legitimacy as an indication of talent. Sure, there is a dry wit and talent involved in Brad Garrett's performance, but is sure isn't anything that deserves four Emmy's. Doing a safe, repetitive show like that for nine years is not something that any serious award-giving body would acknowledge.

I read that the people who nominate the Emmys like to play it safe, although I don't really understand what is at stake. Obviously the selection process is heavily co-opted but I don't know why.
