Why do you care? By now, the average Joe or Jane has realized that what a critic thinks rarely applicable to them. I can’t tell you how many people commiserate with me about how critics seem to love shows or movies that they just can’t tolerate. And hey, I’m with you most of the time, but, these nominations are a precursor to the 2011 Emmy Awards and that is exciting.
What I love #1 - All the Justified nominations. If you aren’t familiar with Justified, it is a bit of a modern day western show on FX. It is dark and gritty, but, if you go take the time to endure the hard times the emotion pay off is spectacular and it’s certainly one of the best executed shows on TV.
What I love # 2 - Alan Cumming’s nomination. As my momma says, “I could listen to him talk forever.” It doesn’t matter what Cumming does I love him, but, this season on The Good Wife he was simply brilliant.
What I love #3 - Love for The Big Bang Theory and Fringe. It’s no secret that the public, including myself, adore these shows and it’s about time that they receive the adulation and recognition that they have rightly earned. John Nobel particularly deserves not just the nomination, but frankly, the award after playing two diverse versions of a character so well.
What I hate - No love for ANY USA show. USA puts out some of the best work on television. Clearly that’s reflected in the fact that viewers have made USA the #1 cable channel for the past several seasons. Come on critics - it’s time for you to pay attention to what the public sees and reward USA shows. I will say that I think Piper Perabo from Covert Affairs has a good shot at an Emmy nomination despite the fact that she’s not nominated here.
