The Emmys are only a few months away, and the nominations
will be announced tomorrow morning.
I always have high hopes the couple weeks before the Emmys, and usually
I am partially disappointed. This
year I am routing for one show in particular…Community. Now don’t get me wrong, I obviously am
wanting Homeland and other various shows to do well, but they are the ones that
everyone expects to do well, and they will probably be announced on the day of
nominations.
Community is easily the best written comedy on television
today. This past season was the
best one yet. The show was not
only nominated for best comedy in the Critic’s Choice Awards, but it also won,
which is why I am hoping voters are paying attention. The problem with Community is that nobody really watches
it. NBC is so dissatisfied with
its numbers that they recently fired the show’s creator, Dan Harmon (worst
decision in the world in my opinion). After they fired him, I wanted even more for the show
to be nominated for Best Comedy just so it can be thrown in NBC’s face that Dan
Harmon is an absolute genius.
If any of the actors from Community could somehow pull a
nomination I would also be incredibly happy, especially if it is Danny Pudi for
Supporting Actor or Allison Brie for Supporting Actress. I actually think that Joel McHale for
Lead Actor stands a pretty good chance for a nomination.
Hell, I would be happy for the show to even get a nomination
for best lighting or something along those lines.
Some other hopes that I have for tomorrow:
-Nick Offerman for Supporting Actor for his work on Parks
and Recreation (Ron Swanson is one of the best characters on television and he
is one of the announcers tomorrow so I am hoping that means his name is on the
list finally)
-Homeland to get as many nominations as possible
-Zooey Deschanel for Lead Actress and Max Greenfield for
Supporting Actor for their work on New Girl
-American Horror Story to shine in the Miniseries/TV Movie
category
-Madeleine Stowe for Supporting Actress for her work on
Revenge (If Revenge is to get any recognition, it will be through her)
I will report back soon with all of the nominations!
