I would assume <i>Angels in America<\/i> is going to dominate the miniseries categories. I doubt if the usually staid Emmy voters will be hip enough to vote for <i>Arrested Development<\/i> which takes the fun out of the comedy series category. I&#8217;m surprised <i>Friends<\/i> isn&#8217;t around for a sentimental vote, but such can still happen with <i>Sex &#038; the City<\/i>. And while <i> Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/i> was amusing, <i>Scrubs<\/i> should really be listed in its place (even at the risk of voting for a network show over one from HBO. I guess the nominators really want to make the most out of their cable subscriptions).<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; For drama, I would assume this is finally the year for <i>The Sopranos<\/i>. Edie Falco might win, probably for her work in the season <u>before<\/u> this. And why is Reiko Aylesworth&#8217;s name not mentioned at all? I&#8217;m torn between rooting for James Gandolfini and Kiefer Sutherland for best actor. Even better, they should decide the winner by having them box.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Screw the on-location game show &#8220;Reality TV&#8221; category.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#8217;m torn, too, between rooting for Jon Stewart and David Letterman. But at least I got a nice chuckle out of seeing Jay Leno and the <i>Tonight<\/i> show aren&#8217;t even nominated. Tee. And hee. (Actually I&#8217;d probably vote for <i>Late Show<\/i> as best show and <i>Daily Show<\/i> as best writing. The first ten minutes of <i>TDS<\/i> are uniformly excellent, but I really don&#8217;t care for Ed Helms or Rob Corddry.)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; By the way, the telecast of the awards is September 19, hosted by Garry Shandling.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Emmy nominations were announced today.
