The Network Emmys Wouldn’t Stop Giving Awards to Cable Shows, Would They?

Posted on August 31, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Tired of seeing Matthew Weiner make Emmy acceptance speeches for Mad Men ? Well, if the major television networks have their way, you might not have to worry about that anymore. Oh sure, the networks are only talking to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences about creating a second Emmy telecast that would banish the cable-heavy categories (mini-series and TV movie) to cable. But that slippery slope could lead to one possibly game-changing destination: The CableACE Awards.

Despite Jimmy Fallon’s Best Efforts, Twitter Doesn’t Care About the Emmy Awards

Posted on August 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Credit Jimmy Fallon for bringing his same sense of imagination to hosting the Emmy Awards that he does on a nightly basis to hosting The Late Show : In addition to the controversial Mad Men spoofs and an opening bit that may include Kate Gosselin (and hopefully another episode of ” 6-Bee “) Fallon has announced that he’s going to select 15 tweets from regular viewers to help introduce celebrity presenters like Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and, hilariously, Laurence Fishburne. The only problem? No one cares.

Glee Writers Offer Semi-Apology for Mr. Schue’s White Rapping

Posted on August 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Who knew you could have so much fun with an Emmy campaign? While the For Your Consideration ads for Glee don’t include any veiled threats toward the future well-being of the show’s young cast , they do feature a mea culpa of sorts: an acknowledgment (via Sue Sylvester) that Will Schuester’s white rapping is fairly awful. Or as Sue puts it, less appealing than a wet rat. No arguments here! Heres the apologetic ad, which covered the Hollywood Reporter this morning:

Which Mad Men Emmy Rival Got NBC to Yank Jimmy Fallon’s Spoof Videos?

Posted on August 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Can you be a sore loser before actually losing? Apparently! After NBC released a set of fairly amusing parody videos that showed Emmy host Jimmy Fallon channeling his inner Don Draper — complete with an appearance from Christina Hendricks — a network with a show nominated against the AMC drama got a bit peeved because the Emmy voting window is still open. The logic being that a spoof of Mad Men featuring the Late Night host could be enough to sway voters. Wait, what?

Bangladeshi Incredible Hulk Leaves Marvel, Edward Norton in the Dust

Posted on August 11, 2010 by | Leave a comment

If you needed any further proof that Marvel’s Hulk franchise is irrevocably cursed, then have a look at the stirring trailer for HALK a — the downmarket Bangladeshi adaptation that will have everyone from Edward Norton to Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige quivering with inferiority. Is it too late to replace Mark Ruffalo ?

Did Joe Jonas Agree to Do Hot in Cleveland on the Strength of Betty White’s Justin Bieber Joke?

Posted on August 11, 2010 by | Leave a comment

During its first season, TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland has enjoyed the confines of old conventions — multicamera format, hammy dialogue, and three archetypal ladies as leads. But after watching a preview video of guest-star Joe Jonas playing Melanie’s (Valerie Bertinelli) son Will, I have to wonder: Did that singing superstar sign on because Betty White makes a decidedly current jab at Jonas peer Justin Bieber?

Daytime Emmys Somehow Forget to Nominate James Franco

Posted on May 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Daytime Emmys were announced today and General Hospital led the pack of mostly expected nominees with a massive 18 nominations. Conspicuously absent from the list, though, was the man who brought that soap opera high ratings, media attention, and deliciously meta plotlines: the one, the only James Franco. How can this be? Did voters somehow miss his Tommy Wiseau-evoking Emmy clip ? We’ve got it for you (and for you, James, in tribute!), as well as a list of the important nominees.
