With the recently announcement of the Emmy’s (and with some gentile reminders from friends) I have come to realize that I neglected my opinion hungry droogies out there. And as one of my heroes Hunter Thompson said…"Buy the ticket, take the ride."
So without further ado, your humble narrator is back and ready, willing, and able to start spewing nonsense into your hearts and minds.
2007 EMMY ABOMINATIONS
I could not be more pissed about this year’s noms (but for those of you who know me, that is pretty much the case every year). And for those of you who have been reading this blog for some time now, you are fully aware of my affinity and unabashed love for the show FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. So when the show only received one nomination yesterday, needless to say, I was pissed.
I think the Academy really got it wrong…case in point, Keifer Sutherland gets a nomination (I love 24…but this past season was so god awful that it doesn’t even deserve to be considered, it should just be forgotten…Jack wasn’t even a bad ass, he was just bad).
If the Academy had any marbles in their head and in their pants the nominations would look something like this…
(In the list below you will see that some of my personal nominations coincide with the Academy’s…I chalk this up to public pressure, because if said/listed nominations didn’t get a nod…then all the Academy’s credibility would’ve be lost. It’s their "cool" factor)
