Andrew Payne has his own awards based on the Emmys. It was a show full of surprises that included “Top Chef” upsetting “The Amazing Race”, Kyra Sedgwick shocking everyone by beating Julianna Margulies and Glenn Close, and a lackluster performance by Jimmy Fallon.
Lilit Marcus, Rebecca Rose, Dantzler Smith, and Phil Wallace break down the Emmys in our podcast.
Mad Men won its third consecutive Emmy for Best Drama, while Modern Family unseated 30 Rock as Best Comedy. Other big winners included Bryan Cranston, Kyra Sedgwick, Jim Parsons, and Edie Falco. Top Chef, The Daily Show, Temple Grandin, and The Pacific also won.
The Emmys are this Sunday, and don’t forget to sign up for our pools. In the meantime our staff of nine experts offer their predictions.
With Emmys coming up tomorrow, Julia Charvat notices that one of television’s funniest shows is absent from the nominee list. FX’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” may just be too crude and outlandish for Emmy voters, even if they secretly love the show.
Of all the nominees for Emmys, Conan O’Brien’s for “The Tonight Show” was perhaps the most surprising. Arguably it was a slap in the face from the Academy to Jay Leno, but Louis Allred says Conan’s chances of winning the Emmy for Variety, Music or Comedy Series are slim.
Who will wear what on Sunday? How good will it look? Jackie Shaprow has her Emmy fashion predictions and wishes for 2010. And remember, Jax Russo of Fashion Deal Diva will be blogging live during the Emmy Red Carpet Show Sunday at 7 PM Eastern Time/4 PM Pacific Time.
Our “Road to the Emmys” series concludes with Outstanding Drama Series. Rebecca Rose sees Breaking Bad pulling off the upset over defending champ Mad Men.
After being snubbed for an Emmy nomination in its first season, HBO’s True Blood has been nominated for Outstanding Drama Series in its second season. Kacy Boccumini says the show should be considered for top honors, as it’s a smart and sexy commentary on our times.
