Trust Him Already!

TNT's show, "Trust Me" isn't keeping my attention anymore. I like the concept and it has potential. I don't want to give up on it. It seems that the theme of the show has become "how will Eric McCormack piss off Tom Cavanagh this week?" Its getting a little old. I want to see this show expand.

"... the envelope please..."

The 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards are coming up in September and I've definitely got some hopefuls. One of my favorites, The Office, is up for 7 Emmys and I'll be rooting for it all the way. I don't like to make predictions, but here are some of the outcomes I'd personally like to see:

Outstanding Animated Program (One Hour or More):
Family Guy, Blue Harvest (FOX)

Outstanding Comedy Series
The Office (NBC)

Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series
The Office, Money (NBC)

Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series
Stanley Tucci, ER (NBC)

Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series
Diahann Carroll, Grey's Anatomy (FOX)

I didn't go through them all, and I left out most (all) of the technical categories; not because I don't think they matter. I know how much work and effort and sweat goes into the technical aspects. But I know next to nothing about most of that stuff, so I'd be picking shows based on which ones I like the best. I didn't think that would be fair. I do, however, know much about the world of thesbianism.

That being said, I had a lot of trouble with the following three as I think all of the actors in these categories are incredibly talented. So I'll just list my favorites.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Steve Carrell, The Office (NBC)
Tony Shaloub, Monk (USA)
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock (NBC)

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Tina Fey, 30 Rock (NBC)
America Ferrera, Ugly Betty (ABC)

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU (NBC)

Holly Hunter, Saving Grace (TNT)

I'm excited to see what the outcome is this year. Don't forget to watch Sunday September 21 at 8/7c on ABC.
