Do you think Michele’s time has passed since they’ve really only been putting the serious effort into Colfer’s character this season and have kind of let everyone fall by the wayside because of it?
I’m relatively confident that she’ll still get nominated. While she definitely has been put...

No, it is a verb, but it’s also a noun, it’s also a superhero. It’s basically whatever Tyra wants it to be. Sorry if I know too much about this. ANTM is to me what Law & Order is to Mulaney. It’s amazing I don’t have more than one good joke on ANTM.
Heee, okay I get it now. I hope it eventually makes the...
megsokay replied to your photo: How can you lose your Smize, Tyra? When did…
I think “smize” became a noun around cycle 12 or 13. I know it was definitely in effect in cycle 13, but that’s when I noticed it was being used less as a coy joke and more like a word Tyra birthed from the genius of her soul.
So, it’s less a verb to describe smiling with your eyes now? And more just a...

I’m just saying, it’s weird to put like, Edie Falco’s style of acting alongside Tina’s. Amy and Tara were just examples. There needs to be some kind of dramedy category, but then the lines between genres would get too complicated.
No, I completely understand what you’re saying and where you’re...
talking-bird replied to your post: EMMYS - Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
I just feel like the performance should be comedic to set it apart from the drama category. A show like United States of Tara is going to give Toni more serious acting moments than Parks will give Amy. It’s just a weirdly unfair balance.
Well, I’ve always thought that United States of Tara in...

Showtime reveals category placements for the Emmys...
Speaking of the Emmys, Showtime has revealed to Gold Derby the following category placements for its new series. Speculation that Shameless would submit as a drama is confirmed. Also, I had completely forgotten about Episodes - could three-time Emmy nominee Matt LeBlanc be nominated for playing a characterized version of himself?

As the television season enters its final stretch and the Emmys begin to dominate the discussion among awards show aficionados, I thought I’d take a look at some of the major categories, list who I believe to be the contenders and the ultimate nominees.
Outstanding Actress in A Comedy Series
Laura Linney (The Big C)
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
Tina Fey (30 Rock)
Amy Poehler (Parks and...

Priscilla is a jukebox musical though.
I know, I didn’t say that there wasn’t any jukebox musicals this year - just noted that they’re not dominating the musical sphere as has been the case in previous years. Out of all the frontrunners for nomination (The Book of Mormon, Catch Me If...

This year, only two shows qualify for Best Revival of a Musical at the Tony Awards - Anything Goes and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. Oddly, this won’t be the first time that How To Succeed.. will have been embroiled in a two-horse race for Best Revival of a Musical. Back in 1995, a revival of the show starring Matthew Broderick duked it out against a Harold Prince-helmed...

Nikki Finke posted this tremendous letter penned by Joanne Siegel, widow of Superman creator Jerry Siegel, to Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner Inc. The letter, written in response to an ongoing copyright ownership dispute, exposes Bewkes and Warner Bros for the horrible way they have treated the Siegels and Shusters. Take a read.

In light of all the Sarah Lane/Natalie Portman debacle, an important fact that is getting lost is that Natalie Portman had two dance doubles. Her other dance double, Kimberly Prosa, seems to be keeping silent on the ensuing controversy, but in an interview in November, Prosa told Debra Levine that the extent of Lane’s involvement was limited to doing the fouéttes, and that Lane was only on...

Bill Hader really, really likes “The Book of Mormon.” Practically the minute the lights went down at the Eugene O’Neill Theater at Thursday’s star-studded opening-night performance, our favorite “Saturday Night Live” cast member was in full-body hysterics over the Trey Stone, Matt Parker and Robert Lopez musical. We sat next to Hader, who left the impression...

I saw this last June, and it is every bit as perfect as you think. The cast recording leaves a bit out, mainly the storyline, which was so silly but so full of heart. Sherie Rene Scott is seriously amazing.

After a fairly lackluster couple of years for new musicals on Broadway, this year has made for a nice change. With The Book of Mormon, Catch Me If You Can, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, The Scottsboro Boys, Sister Act, The People in The Picture, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Wonderland, there’s a healthy number of contenders for the Tony Awards...

Deadline reports that Maya Rudolph has joined the cast of former SNL writer Emily Spivey’s as-yet-untitled pilot for NBC. She joins Christina Applegate in the project which is described as an irreverent look at parenthood through the eyes of an acerbic working mother played by Applegate. Rudolph, who was courted for various different pilots this season, will play the co-worker/best friend of...
