Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:06pmSorry, not on board with either shows. Especially the overrated, overacted, hick soap opera. And there's no way Cranston deserved the award three years running.

Yay! Downton!
Yay! Maggie Smith!
Maybe not such a wash out for us Brits tonight after all!
I love that Julian Fellowes son is called Peregrine.

Wow FNL is so NOT an overrated or overacted "hick" soap opera. If anything it was under-appreciated and underrated. Kyle Chandler's win was LONG OVERDUE and I am glad he won. RICHLY DESERVED!!!

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:13pmCongrats, Maggie! No surprise but thoroughly deserved. Two Emmys and two Oscars.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:16pmNice to see that Jeremy Piven's "sushi consumption" didn't prevent him from attending the Emmys.

Thank you! It is a beautifully written and acted family show. Any soapy-ness came and left after the second season. Honestly if that is considered a soap opera than every drama on TV, including Mad Men, is a soap opera.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:23pmI agree with AC1 about Friday Night Lights and think "overacted hick soap opera" is an apt description.
#58Emmy Prediction Thread
Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:25pmI've seen drag queens on Christopher Street exhibit more subtlety than Connie Britton on any given episode of FNL.

This entire show has been one gigantic steaming pile of s#!t. Seriously, is this really the best they can do? What a complete embarrassment for all involved.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:32pmFirst time in three years there hasn't been a Golden Girl in the memoriam. May Betty be sitting in the audience for many more ceremonies to come!

You're both certainly entitled to your opinion but I find it offensive the unfortunate use of the word "hick" in AC1's assessment of the show. It's unnecessary and derogatory.

So can Kate Winslet come to broadway now so she can work towards an EGOT

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:42pmI don't think "hick" is any more offensive than any other term used to describe regionality.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:42pmI can't wait for Kate Winslet to come to Broadway and complete her EGOT.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:42pmCheers to Maggie for Emmy number two!
#67Emmy Prediction Thread
Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:45pmNo, Winslet won.
#68Emmy Prediction Thread
Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:46pmMaggie won too in a supporting category and naturally, the cast of Entourage accepted on her behalf.

Mad Men. Again. I think that show is so overrated.

I know it gets boring when Mad Men keeps on winning but they deserved it for this season (season 3, not so much). I just wish the show got honored for acting once in a while.
I think Game of Thrones spoiled it for Boardwalk Empire in winning. HBO usually never has two shows going up against each other in drama. I mean, you never saw The Wire against The Sopranos.
And Modern Family wins.

Posted: 9/18/11 at 10:57pmI thought Boardwalk Empire was a great concept that failed in execution. It's beautiful to look at and the premise should be thrilling, but it's deathly boring.
