Honestly? I didn’t watch the Emmy’s tonight. I’ve lost all hope that the Emmy voters have any idea who to vote for. The nominations are silly. And, oh look, Breaking Bad swept the drama category. Oh, hey, Modern Family won… again. Breaking Bad has already won the Emmy for Best Drama series (last year). Anna Gunn won last year. Aaron Paul won two years ago. He won the year before that. Bryan Cranston won that year too. Cranston also won in 2009, and 2008. Bryan Cranston has now won 4 Emmys for playing Walter White, Aaron Paul has won three, … Continue reading Emmy Winners

Matt Bomer is probably going to win the Emmy for his work in The Normal Heart. The bigger question is, will any of his castmates also get nominated? That includes Joe Mantello, Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina, and Taylor Kitsch. Martin … Continue reading EMMY WATCH: Best Supporting Actor in a Mini/Movie
Well, obviously Jessica Lange for American Horror Story: Coven. Also, probably Cicely Tyson for The Trip To Bountiful, because she’s Cicely Tyson. After this… it gets a little harder to predict.
