Emmy Preview, Part Quatre


And so it has come to this. Much ado about nothing for the big prizes. Who will get all the marbles, whatever those marbles might and whatever they might do with those marbles. Fact is, the best shows usually don't get the award. There are exceptions, of course, but they don't have a track record as good as the Oscars. That's why many consider the Emmy's a joke. Then again, there is so much television now. But excuses I shall not make. To the big board!

Outstanding Comedy Series

Extras
The Office
30 Rock
Weeds
Ugly Betty


Yeah, no Entourage. As much as I love it, it's suffered some as of late. That hurts it chances. And it hasn't gotten the nod before. Extras is new because of the much stronger second series put out by Gervais and company. All in all, lots of newcomers here.

Outstanding Drama Series

Lost
The Sopranos
House
Heroes
Rome


Frankly, that last drama spot was hard to pick. Not that there was tough competition, just that there wasn't much that stood out enough. Heroes gets some recognition here for all around good show. Lost should take it. It's just that great.

Of course, there are plenty of other categories, but those don't really count for much. Not that these do either. Much ado...
