What I'm watching tonight
Big night on TV again – here’s what I’m watching. What about you? Tonight on PUSHING DAISIES, Chuck, Ned, and Emerson head to the Circus to solve a missing-persons case! Olive is still at the nunnery, and she’s fantastic!

Send any ideas you have for a redesign of the site – the green is great, but I’m not sure I like the whole layout thing! Shoot me an email!
I’m not a big fan of reality TV. I watch a few really well produced shows, mostly on Bravo or CBS (though I do love me some SYTYCD). Here are the nomineeds for Reality Competition: Should Win: I think either THE AMAZING RACE (because really, how can you beat this brilliantly produced show) or TOP CHEF should take this thing. Will Win: I’m hoping AMERICAN IDOL doesn’t pull an upset. Otherwise, we should be looking at another straight win for
I’m still a little bitter about this category….Here are the nominees for Outstanding Host of a Reality Show – Should Win: I hope Probst wins this thing. He really grills his contestants, from the sounds of it, he has a hand in directing, producing, you name it. I want him to win. Will Win: I believe I’ve been quoted as saying “If Ryan Seacrest wins, so help me God…” while shaking my right fist in the air. Well, I have
This is the first year where the SNL actors get put into the acting categories, versus the Individual Performance in a variety show category, and only one person managed to squeak in! Here are the Supporting Actress nominees: Should Win: Well, I’m terribly partial to PUSHING DAISIES, so one of my votes goes to Cheno and her awesome Olive Snook. She’s perfect in this role. I have to cast my other votes (because you know me and my bad decision
Without everyone’s favorite sidekicks, the lead actors wouldn’t have much to bounce off of, would they? Let’s look at the nominees! Should Win: I think Neil Patrick Harris is sublime as Barney on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. He totally deserves this award. I also kind of hope Kevin Dillon gets it, just to prove that it’s not the Jeremy Piven show. Will Win: I feel like the voters are just going to cast for people who have won before, so
Time to talk about our favorite funny women. There is no one in this group that I don’t like! Should Win: I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary-Louise Parker. I would be happy if either of them won, but to be honest, this is the hardest to pick from category! Will Win: I think it might be Tina Fey’s year, though she’s not necessarily the funniest actress. I could see Christina Applegate taking it, too, for her sublime work on SAMANTHA
I woke up a half hour early this morning, basically throwing off my whole schedule. The good news is that I was able to watch THE CLOSER’s summer finale before heading into the office. I think it was one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen in a while, but at the same time, it was action packed, scary, and made me a blubbering crying idiot by the last five minutes. [SPOILER ALERT – don’t click for more if you haven’t
Today I want to focus some of my attention on the comedy nominees, starting with the lead actors – Should Win: I love me some Lee Pace. He is brilliant as Ned the Piemaker on PUSHING DAISIES. I also think that 30 ROCK wouldn’t be nearly as funny as it is without Alec Baldwin (It’s important to note that I would also be okay with Tony Shalhoub and Steve Carell taking this one). Will Win: Four of my favorite people
We can’t talk about the men without talking about the women – Should Win: There is no one better, for me, than Chandra Wilson from GREY’S ANATOMY. Miranda Bailey is one of the greatest characters on TV. Watching her deal with her falling-apart family was brilliant. If I had to offer an alternative, I would say Dianne Weist as Gabriel Byrne’s psychiatrist in IN TREATMENT was also fantastic. Will Win: This one might be a battle between Murphy Brown and Miranda
