    And Modern Family didn't lose a single category so far. Can it lose Best Series?

    BREAKING NEWS: Modern Family is raping the Emmys. Not even the writers of "Lost" could have seen this coming.

    I was too... even more so for Boardwalk Empire since I thought it had a better shot at winning, but Season 4 of Mad Men was stellar. Hard to argue with that win.

    In fact this may be the first Emmy Award show where every winner truly deserved it in my opinion. Sure... a few others deserved to win too, but once you get to a certain level of brilliance it's hard to fault any winner.

    I'm just glad Chris Colfer did not win.

    Nice surprises to have Chandler and Martindale win... and to have Downton Abbey clean up like they did!

    I never watched that show but just from loving her on Gilmore Girls however many years ago I was so happy for her!

  26. Meaty StakesSeptember 19, 2011 at 4:09 AM

    I know. Even in The Creative Emmy Awards it kinda showed that it was going to be all about merit this year and not hype.

    Pretty rationally happy with all winners (Peter Dinklage FTW specially!) Altough the fanboy in me wanted GoT to win, it was Mad Men's prize.

    I like Colfer as an actor, he has a nice range and expression, but if Glee, and this is my irk of the evening, continues to be such a disjointed and unconsistent and borderline crack fic-ky, all the talent in there will continue to be wasted, and that's a give. I'm not sure if I'll have the strenght to see season 3, and since all my other shows have me eager for their return, Glee is the only one that just got me lukewarm at best.

  27. Wilson CrawfordSeptember 19, 2011 at 4:16 AM

    My thoughts:
    I loved how they changed up the awards to make other genres like comedy and mini series stand out more!

    MARGOT MARTINDALE, F*** YES! She was just so incredible on Justified and her acceptance speech was the best ever!

    Julianna held it together very well and gave a good speech (it felt like everyone already knew she won it honestly!) 

    Peter Dinklage was wonderful and it was great to get some love for Tyrion!

    Melissa McCarthy is one of my favorite human beings on the planet and I am proud of her :)

    The surprise win for Kyle Chandler was AWESOME! He didn't know what to say, it was great! 

    Even though I'm WAY over Modern Family and didn't like that they won everything this year, each of the actors (Julie Bowen!!!) were wonderful and respectful and they still deserve it!

    I loved seeing Anna and David presenting together, that was great
    and overall it was a good evening.

    Best Comedy? 30 Parks & Rock. :P

    Best Drama: I would've said it could've been a 3-way tie btwn Mad Men, Game of Thrones and The Good Wife. 

    I know people will bitch about MM winning again this year, but as I remember thinking when I was watching season 4 "Shit, this season is like 10x better than any other season..." I mean, it has "The Suitcase"... How could it possibly lose? 

    ReplyDelete
  28. DarqueModeSeptember 19, 2011 at 4:20 AM

    I actually like Glee for the most part, but I tend to think an actor nominated in a comedy category should be funny. Just saying.... Colfer was more about drama than humor this year in my eyes. 

    I may not make it through the season either. I disliked a lot about last year... especially the Kurt stuff that got rewarded with nominations. So if they try to accomplish that again.... Ugh.

  29. arun279September 19, 2011 at 4:20 AM

    Modern Family won everything it was nominated in. Jim Parsons won best actor. I just hope Game Of Thrones had won the best drama.

    Totally deserving of the Emmy.  So happy for him!

  31. DarqueModeSeptember 19, 2011 at 4:28 AM

    I have no issue with Ty wining Best Supporting Actor Comedy since he is great on the series.... I jsut think that no show should have 67% of the category's nominations. XD 

    If one of the four was not most outstanding on his own series, how can they all be nominated most outstanding against everyone else?  I know the argument... but it still confounds me how 4 actors from one series can be nominated for BSA Comedy! XD

    I always forget she was on GG... I watched some of the first season but got bored of the drama despite the fun banter.

    Not the best year for my shows personally, but I am over the moon for Kyle Chandler and Melissa McCarthy. Good for them. Two very deserving actors/people.

    VERY POOR. I can't think of someone else getting the best drama actress instead of Anna Torv. What else she has to do to win the prize? she has played 4 different characters last year, and made it the most impressive acting I've ever seen.

    Even Anna Torv wasn't nominated to the Emmys, she was gorgeous presenting together with David Boreanaz. Hope she could heve her talent recognized by the critic.

    Oh silly little rabbit, sci-fi actors don't win emmy's no matter how good and awesome they are. 

    Sci-fi is this little silly thing that doesn't matters and it's not important, just a distraction for nerds.

    I'm dripping juicy sarcasm and seething with rage right now.

  39. Meaty StakesSeptember 19, 2011 at 7:49 AM

    That's another point, it's difficult to classify dramedies and it's characters for prizing. 

    Who knows? maybe next year Colfer will get nominated in comedy for portaying half of the most sickingly-sweet, theeth-rotting, diabetees-inducing gay couple on television ever.

    Well, at least now I have Max from Happy Endings to love.

  40. DarqueModeSeptember 19, 2011 at 8:00 AM

    Ha! True.

    I think a series like Glee can get screwed over since its not as dramatic (ordinarily) as the heavy dramas and  it has more dramas than the sitcoms.....  Being one of the only musical drams on TV (for now) it needs its own category almost.

    In some ways I think the 30-minute dramadies like Entourage, Weeds, Nurse Jackie and The Big C have advantages over other sitcoms simply because the actors get to show more range and depth. This year however, none of that mattered as the Juggernaut that is Modern Family trampled its "competition".

    ReplyDelete
  41. Meaty StakesSeptember 19, 2011 at 8:16 AM

    Good point, And I'm thinking something else. The dramedies that you mention are quirky and satiric and  the humor is rooted in situations that shouldn't be funny sometimes. I mean, it has a heavy dose of dark humor and that makes them more fluid.

    They take the step from drama to comedy unseemingly and that's their strenght, like rely on the messed up of a situation and are more cynical in nature. It what gives them their plus, their hook, how they can me a nore veritable view of reality that straight drama and comedy.

    Glee started like this, and it was good. A lovable dramedy about mistfits and ideals and the cynisism around them, but with times it feels like it pushes the polars of straight sit com material with hearthwrenching drama to far and it doesn't weld weld in the final product, like it is stretching itself to far and wide and it's losing a balanced center.

    Because a good dramedy is either comedy with a lot of drama, or drama with a lot of incidental comedy, it has a center, a root and everything else is incidental, but with Glee seems that it can chose if it is a comedy or a drama, wich leads to thinks like if you watch just Colfer's storyline you think you are watching a drama about gay youth, and if you watch Tina... well, comedic webisodes about asian couples. And you get like an accidental Melinda & Melinda thingie that you are not sure if it works.

    Hopefully the new writer staff can make sense.

  42. DarqueModeSeptember 19, 2011 at 8:35 AM

    Completely agree. I loved the outsiders versus the insiders as they bonded together.  It was empowering without being preachy... and it was funny. 

    I think in a lot of ways Glee excelled at making fun of itself, but then got too full of itself (or himself... I'm pointing at you Mr. Murphy) and started to take itself too seriously.

    Ironically I think that caused them to not take themselves serious enough in some ways.. Less about the club as a whole, more preaching less subtlety and cynicism, more internal fighting and less direction with more guest stars.

    It all made for a far inferior Season Two overall despite more serious messages and a few very strong episodes.

    I think one of the major issues is Ryan Murphy connects with the outsider... the geek and does not write about normal or sane or  average very well. All the "insiders" joined Glee and became outsiders, but they were never replaced. Quinn and Puck were great foils to the Glee Club, Karofsky... not so much. 

     They need some normalcy outside the club (or inside the club) to balance the  craziness within the club.

    Well.

    Good:

    - Mad Men won best drama.
    - Coach winning lead actor.
    - Nothing for Glee and Dexter.
    - Martindale and Dinlage winning supporting awards

    Bad:

    - Hamm will probably never win which makes me sad.
    - Same for Moss.
    - Modern Family is fine and a safe choice but that's too much praise for the show.
    - Carell never winning for Michael Scott.
    - McCarthy beating Poehler.

    All in all, I'd say the drama side looks fine, and the comedy side is a mess as usual.

    "I can't think of someone else getting the best drama actress instead of Anna Torv."
    Come on. Then you haven't seen enough other performances, plain and simple. I like Torv and Fringe but she can't compete with Elisabeth Moss, Connie Britton or Margulies, although a nomination would've been cool.

    I am pleased with most of the winners except of course FNL and Kyle Chandler's wins....i mean seriously seeing the other people in his category i thought he was the worse by far...Really glad Margo Martindale won.I would prefer if GoT won but Mad Men deserves the win too...
