[Movie] 2007 Emmys

I agree on James Spader winning. Very bizarre. I was floored that if Gandolfini wasn't honored with a curtain call, I thought Laurie would have been a shoe in. Christ, that was a blunder. I have to give Spader props for the acceptance speech, he was the least awkward he could be trying to be gracious about the whole thing.

However, I can assure you that Extras is fantastic, albeit a quarter of it will be lost on not British viewers unless they're very versed in across the pond pop culture. For example, the Les Dennis episode only became hilarious to me after I finally deducted that him being famous from "Family Fortunes" meant he was the host of the British version of Family Feud. Each of the two seasons were only six episodes, and I'd really recommend renting the dvds. There's not a lousy episode among the twelve and it contains some hilarious stuff. And Ricky Gervais is great in it, but probably not the most deserved to win the award still. Probably more a nod to the show itself.

30 Rock won best comedy because it's obtained Arrested Development status as a show no one is watching but critics and the industry wants to cram down your neck as the next big thing. Expect to see heavy promotion of the show with their emmy plastered all over. I'm not that mad about it. It's a pretty sharp show, not always brilliant, but often good. And I hate Ugly Betty from what I've seen of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
