Creative Arts Emmys: Report

So for some obnoxious reason they don't broadcast the Creative Arts Emmy Awards for a whole week, so my rundown comes secondhand from Tom O'Neil at Goldderby. A good summary of the winners by series can be found here. I'm sad to report that my batting average so far stands at 1/4. Cynthia Nixon claimed the Best Drama Guest Actress trophy for her work on "Law & Order: SVU", while my predicted runner-up Glynn Turman was so very deservedly rewarded for his incredible work on "In Treatment." It's really too bad that Blair Underwood wasn't even nominated, because I'm confident he could easily have won for his role of a lifetime on the show. The comedy winners are far more regrettable, two very undeserving performers. Tim Conway was unfunny and was hardly trying on "30 Rock" - it looks like name recognition carried him not only to a nomination, but a win. My heart goes out to Will Arnett. On the comedy guest actress side, all the "30 Rock" actresses were eclipsed by previous winner Kathryn Joosten of "Desperate Housewives" which I guess wasn't terrible, but it's not a comedic performance. As far as the other categories go, it's worth pointing that while Sarah Silverman lost her Emmy for Best Comedy Guest Actress, she did win the Best Music & Lyrics category for "I'm Fucking Matt Damon." Also, "Mad Men" took home the Best Main Title Design award and "Pushing Daisies" won both Best Main Title Theme Music and Best Dramatic Underscore. Great wins by those shows. More Emmy predix coming this week, followed by the big night Sunday, September 21st. Check back frequently!
