The Emmys and Other TV Tonight

By Jeralyn

The Emmys are on tonight. Its website is really lame, but AOL already has 341 photos from the Red Carpet up.

The Red Carpet area is really small and they are packed in like sardines. It's also very hot. The interviews are ongoing now on E! There was also some kind of threat so some of the stars had to walk part way. [More...]

Damages, the FX Series with Glenn Close playing a legal barracuda and Ted Danson as the rich corporate robber baron (which I was probably one of the ten people in America who watched) is up for best series. So is Mad Men, a series about the advertising world in the 1960's, and Boston Legal.

The Desperate Housewives stars look really good. The show has been revamped for this year when it leaps five years into the future. Gabby and Carlos have two fat little kids and talk about whether they should be on a diet.

Tina Fey is up for an best actress comedy award for 30 Rock, competing with Mary Louise Parker for Weeds. I hope Mary Louise Parker gets it. Glenn Close, Kyra Sedgwick (Closer) and Sally Field (Brothers and Sisters)are up for best actress in a drama series. Since I don't like prosecutor shows like Closer, I'm hoping Sally Field wins.

Best supporting actress puts Chandra Wilson of Grey's Anatomy against Rachel Griffiths of Brothers and Sister. No question in my mind that this year Rachel Griffiths should win. (Wilson was great the first year of Grey's Anatomy but the show really had awful writing this past year.)

In case any of you are watching, here's a thread to talk about the dresses, the shows and the awards.

Update: I don't want to leave anyone out and there's sports on tonight too. So whatever you are watching, or you wish was on to watch, or will be watching this season, feel free to chime in.
