The Emmys were good. I think musical numbers should be ixnayed in the future, but overall Conan did a good job. A lot of the things he did were good, course half of them will be forgotten, along with who won Emmys, by next month. I can't wait to see who does it next year. The following is my predictions for who would win, and how accurate it was. Long story, short version: I didn't do so good. The first number is what I get right, the second what I get wrong. Keep in mind this is only the acting related awards. Drama Series: Should win: House. Actual Winner: 24 Nancy score: 0-1 Comedy Series: Should win: Yikes. Never seen any of the above. Scrubs. Actual Wiiner: The Office Nancy score: 0-2 Miniseries: Will Win: Into the west Should win: Into the west Actual Winner: Elizabeth I Nancy score: 0-3 Made-for-TV Movie: Will win: Flight 93 Should win: Uhhhhh yeah. Three HBO movies. Hmmm. Flight 93. Actual Winner: "The Girl In The Cafe" Nancy score: 0-4 Variety, Music or Comedy Series: Will Win: Jon Stewart Should Win: David Letterman. Actual Winner: Stewart Nancy Score: 1-4 Actor, Drama Series: Will Win: Martin Sheen - a nice goodbye gift Should win: Kiefer Sutherland. If Sutherland was not on the show, I would not be watching 24 otherwise. Actual Winner: Sutherland Nancy Score: 2-4 Actress, Drama Series: Will Win: Kyra Sedgwick is getting a lot of love right now. Should win: My love goes to Mariska Hargitay. She puts a lot of soulfulness and emotion in her character. Actual Winner: Hargitay Nancy Score: 3-4 Supporting Actor, Drama Series: Will Win: William Shatner. Mr Shatner is fantastic in this role. Should win: Need I say it? Denny Crane! Actual Winner: Alan Alda
Nancy Score: 3-5 Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Should win: Candice Bergen. Ms Bergen is back and funnier than ever. I personally think both Greys chicks will split the vote. Actual Winner: Blythe Danner
Nancy Score: 3-6 Actor, Comedy Series: Will Win: Tony Shalhoub. Hes the closest lock right now IMHO. Should win: Tony however should sit out this time and let someone new win. No this is not a vote for Kevin James. Mr Sheen? Perhaps. Give it to Larry David. The speech should be good. Actual Winner: Shaloub. Ok that might have been too easy.
Nancy Score: 4-6 Actress, Comedy Series: Will Win: Debra Messing, her show is over. Should win: But giving it to someone cause their show is over could also apply to Lisa Kudrow and Jane Kaczmarek. My vote goes to Stockard Channing. Actual Winner: Julie Louis-Dreyfus. She mocked the "Seinfeld" curse on the air. Yeah, lets see this show last another year first. Nancy SCore: 5-6
Supporting Actor, Comedy Series: Will win: Sean Hayes. Almost a given Should win: Jon Cryer. Show Duckie some love! Actual Winner: Emmy shows Jeremy Piven some love instead.
Nancy Score: 6-6 - oooh a tie.
Supporting Actress, Comedy Series: Will Win: Megan Mullally, she'll get to parade it around on her new talk show. Should win: Jaime Pressley Actual Winner: Mullally
Nancy Score: 7-6 Actor, Miniseries or a Movie: Will win: Jon Voight Should win: Donald Sutherland - A father son win would be cool. Actual Winner: Andre Braugher. Thief was a tv series yet its under "mini-series" which is odd to me.
Nancy Score: 7-7....tie is back! Actress, Miniseries or a Movie: Will Win: Helen Mirren, one of my all time fave actresses Should win: Helen Mirren Actual Winner: Mirren. I've been a fan of since her "Prime Suspect" series.
Nancy Score: 8-7 Supporting Actor, Miniseries or a Movie: Denis Lawson, "Bleak House (Masterpiece Theatre)," PBS; Hugh Dancy, "Elizabeth I," HBO; Jeremy Irons, "Elizabeth I," HBO; Robert Carlyle, "Human Trafficking," Lifetime; Clifton Collins Jr., "Thief," FX Network. Will win: Jeremy Irons Should win: Robert Carlyle Nancy Score: 8-8 Will win: Alfre Woodard Should win: Cloris Leachman. This is also the catergory that has a certain nominee who it turns out is only in the movie long enough to blink an eye. How that happened, I'm not sure. They say quality over quantity, but I think you gotta be in something longer than a few seconds. Actual Winner: Emmy avoided possible a small firestorm in awarding Kelly Macdonald, a newcomer to me anyway, the Emmy. What a nice surprise.
Nancy Score: 8-9 In the end picture I got a little over half wrong. Not bad, since I haven't seen much of these movies or shows. When they do come to DVD I have no excuse to check them out. Next up, the Golden Globes!
