Emmy Nominations

Here are a few of my favourite picks from this morning's announcement:

• Drama Series: 24 (So many plot twists! West Wing has resorted to gimmick shows a la E.R. giving Dr Greene a brain tumour)
  
• Comedy Series: Arrested Development (Great cast to go along with the great writers. Haven't caught the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm yet tho. We are only into Season 3 in Canada and I got the first two on boxset)
  
• Variety, Music or Comedy Series: SNL (Weekend Update should get its own nom. Wow! No Tonight Show with Leno! Is he gonna fire all his writers? He's dumbed the show down so much in order to beat Letterman in the ratings. Glad the Emmy voters noticed!)
  
• Actor, Drama Series: Kiefer Sutherland "24" narrowly over Martin Sheen "The West Wing"
  
• Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Janel Moloney "The West Wing" (and then they kill her character off!)
  
• Actor, Comedy Series: Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
  
• Actress, Comedy Series: Jane Kaczmarek "Malcolm in the Middle"
  
• Supporting Actor, Comedy Series: Jeffrey Tambor "Arrested Development" ("You should have seen the face he made when - well, he is my twin brother... I'll show you!")
  

Arrested Development is the freshest new show of the year. Let's hope it does well enough to stay on the air!
