HBO's 'The Sopranos' Leads Emmy Series Nominations
No real shock to see The Sopranos clean up in the Emmy nods, though whether or not it can unseat The West Wing remains to be seen. (I've never really watched a lot of The West Wing and don't really intend to start). For me, it's a choice between The Sopranos and 24 to win it. Of course, I could point out that yet again a Mutant Enemy show, Angel had a great year, but yet again, got no nods--not even acting for James Marsters or Amy Acker who were just superb this year--esp. Acker in her dual role as Fred and then Ilyeria. But this is the type of great work that just gets overlooked.
But the real shocker is that, once again, Scrubs got shut out from all the major categories--best series and the acting ones. I'm glad to see it got a writing nod, but at least John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox deserves a nod. He does some of the BEST work out there and is constantly underrated for it. Maybe now with Sex and the City gone that slot will come open for a show that really deserves a nod.
And it was a nice tribute for John Ritter to get an acting nod. I have a feeling he is the sentimental favorite to win this one.
