Jul.19.2007 Emmys: Some assholes will win TV awards, other assholes will not
The nominations for this year’s Emmys are in with The Sopranos leading the way for shows with 15 Emmy nominations and some TV movie called “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” (apparently about Westward expansion and the Injuns) topping all with 17 nods. You can find the full list here.
Shows like “Boston Legal,” “Heroes,” “Ugly Betty” and “30 Rock” joined Emmy veterans “The Sopranos” and “The Office” as top series nominees. Meanwhile, past winners “Desperate Housewives” and “24” were among the programs that found themselves on the outside looking in.
HBO once again led all networks with 86 Emmy nominations, and its movie adaptation of Dee Brown’s book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee captured 17 of those, more than any other program this year.
Many categories sported two or three new nominees, and producers of first-year shows that in the past might have had no shot at nominations in the major categories were pleasantly surprised by wake-up calls from their agents Thursday morning.
Also, Andy Samberg’s opus with Justin Timberlake, “Dick in A Box” received a nod in the Original Music category. It was also nominated in Best Surprise Usage of Genitals, but is expected to lose out to the episode of The View in which Rosie whipped out her penis.
