Steve Carell was the highlight of the Emmys as was seeing the cast of The Office before the show’s season premiere gets underway next week. The worst part, this year’s choice of host:
As a side note, we all get how big The Sopranos was as both a TV and cultural phenomenon, but does the show need to be nominated in the same category (Best Writing) for four different episodes? How well does that bode for the crew of Lost and Battlestar Gallactica - the only two other shows nominated.
Television lovers, I have something good for you. Apparently, there was an online leak of the Emmy Award finalists in the comedy and drama series categories.
And the nominees are:
Comedy:
ABC: Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty
NBC: My Name Is Earl, The Office, Scrubs and 30 Rock.
CBS: Two and a Half Men.
HBO: Entourage and Extras
Showtime: Weeds.
Drama:
ABC: Lost, Boston Legal, and Grey’s Anatomy.
NBC: Heroes and Friday Night Lights
Fox: House and 24
HBO: Rome and The Sopranos
Showtime: Dexter.
Reuters also reports, that naturally The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences refused to comment on the accuracy of the information.
Anyone who read this blog before knows that The Office in comedy and Heroes in drama are my favorites, although my wife will probably choose Lost in drama.
“The Sopranos” ended with a whimper I’m sorry to say, with a series finale that hardly did justice to the caliber of show it started out as. For 59 minutes, nothing of note happened and the show driveled on building up to the final slow-mo climactic scene in which Tony and his family meet for dinner. Each members arrives separately so you’re held in suspense as to whom will be killed and whom will be spared. In the end, Meadow walks into the diner late to meet up with Tony, AJ, and Carmela and it’s “understood” that there’s a hit out on Tony and the assassins are at the restaurant setting up their mark.
Unfortunately Meadow running into the diner last minute is where the clip abruptly ends and credits start rolling. Huh? Disappointed? We sure were…
First off, my deepest appreciation to Mr. James Gandolfini. One of my favorite actors, who took many years of hard work of being typecast in small roles as a gangster, including one memorable performance facing off Patricia Arquette in True Romance. It took him a lot of hard work, but at the end it paid off, and he got the part for which he will be remembered for the rest of his life as Tony Soprano. And now, 85 episodes since The Sopranos premiered in 99′, its time to say goodbye. So don’t forget, The Sopranos last episode, airs tonight at 9PM on HBO.
In case you didn’t have the time to watch, here’s a recap of the last season.
You’ll probably be watching the season premiere of the series finale of “The Sopranos” which oddly enough coincides with the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. There has to be some sort of correlation here, but I’m too wiped out from this week to piece it together.
I’m not really into the show. I never have been but if ”The Sopranos” bring back Drea de Matteo, which is unlikely, I’ll start watching again. And whether or not you feel it’s time to end the show, it’s time. “ER”has overstayed its welcome resulting in us all eagerly awaiting the day the hospital gets bombed and all the residents and doctors are trapped inside with zero chance of survival.
So I’m glad “The Sopranos” is ending. It’s opting to bow out a little more gracefully making us wish upon Tony a kindler more gentler fate than he probably deserves, likeable bastard and all.
