QUICK EMMY OBSERVATIONS

This is the single best array of nominees in the Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series in a long damn time. FULL NOMINATIONS LIST HERE
As such, the pessimist view is that it guarantees disappointment. I want to see The Wire get it's due, but it'll be at the cost of Battlestar Galactica getting some love. And then Mad Men too. I confess, however, indifference to Damages.
Battlestar Galactica • Six Of One • Sci Fi Channel • Universal Media Studios in association with R & D TV Michael Angeli, Written By | |
Damages • Pilot • FX Networks • FX Productions and Sony Pictures Television Todd A. Kessler, Written By Glenn Kessler, Written By Daniel Zelman, Written By | |

Drama series category ain't looking too shabby.

Lastly, the cruelty of pitting Pushing Daisies against 30 Rock in the comedy writing category.
Sorry, though, gotta go with the Fey.

Or do I?
Actually neither of the nominated 30 Rock's were particular favorites, so...yeah...gimme the "Pie-Lette" this time out.
