Milo Ventimiglia at Emmy’s

Looking gorgeous as ever, here’s how Milo looked walking into the Emmy Awards a few hours ago. I wonder if he called Alexis today to wish her a Happy Birthday? Wouldn’t that be sweet?

Ryan Seacrest at Emmy Awards

Ryan Seacrest has a giant smile as he arrives to the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards. With a smile like that, it’s no wonder why “American Idol” is a hit.

Lisa Rinna at Emmy Awards

Lisa Rinna

I’ve always thought this was one pretty lady, ever since seeing her in Days Of Our Lives. I’m glad she’s back on the show though. Just look at that smile, it just glows and the hair works for her…not everyone can pull it off.

64th Annual Golden Globe Awards (2007)

Thursday, December 14th, 2006
goldenglobes.jpg

Is it time for the Golden Globes already? Wow, where did 2006 go? I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for awards shows. Oddly, I have trouble watching them because it makes me uncomfortable watching stars get uncomfortable in such a public setting. Hearing jokes bomb, political tirades and other zany behavior always gives me cheese chills. But like any other train wreck, I have trouble turning away. And thank The Maker for my TiVo for letting me skip extremely awkward moments or letting me re-watch a star trip on the stairs or see the faces of stars who got snubbed. Good times for all.

Some of my favorite shows got nominated this year in one category or another. Here are some of my favorite nominations:

TV
TV Series, Drama : Heroes - My pick for winner!
TV Series, Comedy: Weeds
Lead Actor, Drama: Michael C. Hall (Dexter) or Hugh Laurie (House). My money is on Dexter!
Lead Actress, TV Drama: Patricia Arquette - This category seems pretty weak, but I’ll go with my Wife’s pick on this one
Lead Actor, Comedy: Jason Lee (Earl)
Lead Actress, Comedy: Mary-Louis Paker (Weeds)
Best Supporting Actor in a Series: Justin Kirk (Weeds), Masi Oka (Heroes) - I’m soooo torn! I’ll go with Masi, he’s got geek cred.
Supporting Actress in a Series: Sarah Paulson (Studio 60) Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds)

You can check out some of the nominations on TV Guide because oddly enough, The Golden Globes site hasn’t listed them yet.

I have to admit I haven’t seen enough movies this year, but this is a TV Blog so I can let that slide. I’m very happy to see Heroes, Dexter, House and Weeds nominated and other new and interesting shows. There has been a trend with awards committees to go with the usual nominees like 24, Desperate Housewives and Lost. While 24 is still going strong, most of the usual suspects just aren’t cutting it anymore. I still love lost, but it’s not a priority show. Criminal Minds should have been all over this list, where was it? I suppose I can’t have all my favorites win, but I’m glad to see more of them on the list.

Make sure you set your TiVo or PVR to record on January 15th so you don’t miss any great awkward moments. Hopefully someone will make a fool of themselves like Faith Hill did on the CMAs. Priceless.
