Primetime Emmy Awards 2011 opening video

The President of Television – aka Leonard Nimoy – helps Jane Lynch open the 2011 Emmy Awards 2011. Needless to say, this is a great beginning. Things go on from there with the much expected Jane Lynch song number, it’s cheesy, cheesy goodness! Loads of TV stars appear and on their sets, absolutely brilliant and...

Emmy Nominations list 2011

I’ve got the full list of Emmy nominations for 2011 after the jump, but first a little bit of a moan about them. Firstly – and if you’re a regular reader here you’ll know what I’m about to say – no John Noble or Anna Torv? Seriously? Again? With this past season of “Fringe” being...

2010 Emmy Awards best opening ever?

I love award shows in the arts, I always watch The Emmy’s, The Oscars, Tony Awards, you name it, but I have to say this years Primetime Emmy Awards opener was one of the best in some time. Fallon and his Gleeks were entertaining and fun, let’s face it there is nothing like seeing your...

No Emmy nomination for John Noble

What an absolute travesty. John Noble has been overlooked for an Emmy nomination. Hardly surprising I know, given the Emmy’s stance on what it terms “science-fiction”, but it is still a disgrace this actor wasn’t at least nominated, particularly given Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn both got nods for Lost. The Emmy’s are meant to...

And the Emmy Nomination list is

  If you’re looking for a list of the all important Emmy Nominations for 2010, look no further. Although there were some omissions we’ll all be banging about on Twitter for weeks to come, there were of course, also the usual bunch of “oh him again” nods to actors, actresses and shows that seem to...

Doctor Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Emmy blog

  This is well worth a look if you happen to have missed it. Neil Patrick Harris was this years Emmy host, but that didn’t stop his maniacal alter ego, the evil and nefarious Dr Horrible from trying to take over the show and plug the power of the internet over that of our beloved...

Emmy Nominations Are Good and Bad…

  It’s always pretty interesting to see what is considered stand out TV each year in the Emmys. No surprise really that this year the much loved 30 Rock is walking away with a record-breaking 22 nominations, the most ever for a comedy series. The show is beautifully helmed by Tina Fey with an outstanding...

Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Patrick Harris looks set to host the Emmy Awards. The 36 year old star of How I Met Your Mother host the Tony Awards this year and it helped the ratings based on last years figures. Seems the Emmy Awards liked that and are going with Harris as host of their show too. You...

Emmys create “Best Reality Show Judge” category

This seems a bit ridiculous, but whatever! The Emmy’s have created a new category to go along with “Best Reality Show Host” only this time they’ll be awarding the likes of Simon Cowell and company. The new category “Best Reality Show Judge” will of course feature the likes of Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Nigel Lythgoe...

Tina Fey reigns supreme at Emmys

There’s just no stopping our favorite geek celeb Tina Fey right now. Her excellent show 30 Rock took top honors at the Emmys this year where it won Outstanding Comedy Series. As if that wasn’t enough, Fey also swooped up the Outstanding Lead Actress for her role as quirky Liz Lemon in the show and...

Drama, Drama, Drama at the Emmys

There were few surprises at this years Emmy awards. Most of the shows that were tipped to walk away with the awards did, thankfully most of them deserved it though. The excellent cast of Damages were awarded for their performances, with wins for Glenn Close and Zeljko Ivanek. The show continues to show that if...

Reality TV presents bore at the Emmys

Is it just me, or was the idea to have five reality TV presenters host this years Emmy awards a really, really bad idea? The show was jointly hosted by American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest, Survivor’s Jeff Probst, Project Runway’s Heidi Klum, Deal or No Deal’s Howie Mandel and Dancing with the Stars Tom Bergeron. The...

Christina Applegate at the Emmys

It was one of the highlights of the Emmys for me to see the lovely Christina Applegate looking healthy and vibrant during the show. When her cast mate Jean Smart picked up the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress at the Emmys, she took the opportunity to praise Applegate by stating “The answer to the question...

As well as being a presenter, she’ll also be hoping to walk away with an award herself for her...
