I have to say that while i didnt catch alot of this season of Law and Order SVU, it is a shame to think of it simply as Law and Order Jr. This show definitely stands on its own (for one thing the characters, and their “inner demons” are explored much more deeply then characters ever have been on L and O proper). On top of that, SVU has an excellent cast headed by Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay.

Hello,

Six things to say, listed below:

1. I’m glad you see that Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series should go to Peter Krause as Nate Fisher in Six Feet Under. Also I recommend seeing the last season of Six Feet Under, the final episode is the best way to end any season. Side note: the last season of Six Feet Under is much less pretentious than the others, I think you may enjoy, I did.

2. As for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, I think it should go to Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish in The Comeback, simply on her amazing ability to make the audience feel unfortable to the point of looking away, maybe this is why the show wasn’t well liked by anyone but me, and Christina and Justin (because I made them watch it.)

3. Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series should go to Frances Conroy as Ruth Fisher in Six Feet Under. I’m suprised that you, of all people, could overlook her absurdness, neurotic tendencies, and tenderness of her character, and not LOVE it!

4. Outstanding Reality-Competition Program: Am I the ONLY one who watches project runway? Who the hell stole my chiffon?

5. Michael Imperioli wrote Summer of Sam? The hell you say. Humm. Thanks for the fact.

6. Were you to watch Grey’s Anatomy you would find Sandra Oh’s character well written.

also, michael emerson, the saving grace of Lost: Season 2 was completely left out in favor of…. well, other than 24, I can’t really judge, cause I’ve only seen 24 this season out of those noms…. but still!

i agree wholeheartedly with everything, ESPECIALLY, the Shield and Forrest getting no recognition. You’re also going to tell that Jon Cryer, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally were better than Jenna Fischer and John Krasinsky (i probably spelled the names wrong…. Pam and Jim) from The Office? C’mon! Also, American Idol’s nomination has got to be solely based on popularity, because last year, and for most of this year, it was outdone in every single way by Rockstar:INXS. Better talent, better band, better method of eliminating people, better set and lighting, better camerawork and direction, a whole 30-60 minutes devoted to what happened in the off-week and how the contestants have prepared for their performance, and better judges giving better responses. It’s a shame that not only does this Supernova show seem to not contain the necessary talent, but it’s gonna be up against three other talent competitions, one of them being a hybrid of the INXS show and Idol. It’s also on the wrong network, but that’s a different story…. sorry for hijacking the talkback. It’s very nice to see Will Arnett with the nom, but he’s no Brad Garrett.

About House, it seems like I was going to make a point about that, in relation to the ceremonies preposterousness, but lost my train of thought. Oh well, it happens.

You said that House is a one-character show, and yet Hugh Laurie wasn’t nominated (for zinging one-liners sarcastically). Not faulting your logic — I agree — but the academy’s.

And at least the Grammys are entertaining by virtue of being a string of absurd musical duets.

And I don’t think Debra Messing could possibly lose.
