Emmy Rehash

Drama Series
Prediction: “The Sopranos”
Winner: “The Sopranos”
(Despite their conclusion, victory was deserved. David Chase was correct. Music set their tone.)

Comedy Series
Prediction: “Entourage”
Winner: “30 Rock”
(Completely undeserved. Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan are television’s worst characters. With that stated, Tina Fey’s speech was hilarious. Dozens and dozens of views. Does NBC adore last?)

Reality-Competition Program
Prediction: “American Idol”
Winner: “The Amazing Race”
(Slightly surprising. The program is great. However, Bravo is reality’s network.)

Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction: Hugh Laurie “House”
Winner: James Spader “Boston Legal”
(The evening’s deepest category. Gandolfini was the sentimental favorite. However, Spader is deserving. Consistently, he outshines bizarre storylines.)

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction: Masi Oka “Heroes”
Winner: Terry O’Quinn “Lost”
(The evening’s weakest category. Given a full season, Imperioli would have won.)

Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Charlie Sheen “Two and a Half Men”
Winner: Ricky Gervais “Extras”
(Thankfully, Baldwin and Carell did not win. Their programs are putrid.)

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Jeremy Piven “Entourage”
Winner: Jeremy Piven “Entourage”
(Television’s best character. Piven is Entourage.)

Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Prediction: Sally Field “Brothers & Sisters”
Winner: Sally Field “Brothers & Sisters”
(Her speech was repugnant. With that stated, her victory was warranted. Brothers and Sisters is underrated. This recognition was overdue.)

Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Prediction: Chandra Wilson “Grey’s Anatomy”
Winner: Katherine Heigl “Grey’s Anatomy”
(Completely undeserved. Her acting is mediocre. Her storylines are pedestrian. Grey’s Anatomy is a floundering empire. Rewarding their failure will not help.)

Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Mary-Louise Parker “Weeds”
Winner: America Ferrera “Ugly Betty”
(Also completely undeserved. Ugly Betty is dreadful. Ferrera is television’s most overrated. She is hideous. She warrants cancellation.)

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Jenna Fischer “The Office”
Winner: Jaime Pressly “My Name Is Earl”
(Ridiculous. NBC is a fourth place network. Rewarding their stupidity, will not improve them.)

Lead Actor in a Movie or Miniseries
Prediction: Matthew Perry “The Ron Clark Story”
Winner: Robert Duvall “Broken Trail”
(Duvall is an exemplary individual. His speech was poignant.)

Lead Actress in a Movie or Miniseries
Prediction: Debra Messing “The Starter Wife”
Winner: Helen Mirren “Prime Suspect: The Final Act”
(Mirren is stellar. I love Messing. However, I cannot argue Mirren. She is articulate and elegant. She deserves every award.)
