My Awards (After reading the nominations)

Worst Title: "Target Stars On Ice." Like Osama needs directions. Oh wait, there's no colon in there.

Biggest Question Marks: "Alias" gets 11 nods, but not one for best drama. "Curb You Enthusiasm" gets two. One for best comedy. Huh?

Must Feel Like Sh-t: (tie) Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Courtney Cox, Eric McCormack. All the other leads on their respective series got nods. Ouch. And McCormack won last year. Double ouch.

BIG Disappointment: Stockard Channing's nod for "The Matthew Shepard Story." I told you. I told you. After I watched this horrible tv movie back in March, I told you she'd get a nomination. And I also told you I'd be deeply disappointed if she did. She did and I am.

How could they: How could they nominate Ryan Stiles & Wayne Brady for "Whose Line?" and not Colin Mocherie? He and Ryan are a team, indivisible.

Emmy Pets No Longer: (tie) "ER" (4 nominations); "The Practice" (2); "Ally McBeal;" "NYPD Blue" (1 each). The voters have finally listened to the viewers. None of these shows got nominations in the acting nor best series categories.

Biggest Drama Breakthroughs: "Six Feet Under" (23 nods); "Alias" (11 nods); "24" (10); "Buffy" (4). "Six" cleaned up, "Alias" was number 3 on the list. And even though "Buffy" didn't get any acting/writing nominations, at least there is something.

Biggest Comedy Breakthrough: "Friends" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" (11 each). While "Raymond" is by far the better show, these two series really deserved it.

LMAO Nominations: "Wolf Lake" (2); "Emeril" (1); "First Monday" (1). Three of the worst, most forgettable series of last season shared 4 nominations among them. So what, they were all in categories like "Outstanding Title Design," but still.

My Predictions Were Right!:  "Everybody Loves Raymond" aired 24 episodes last season. They were all outstanding. I picked "The Angry Family" and "Marie's Sculpture" as the ones to get nods for best writing. And they did.

Nomination Hogs: "24" had 40% of Fox's nominations. "Alias" 32% of ABC's.  Considering that "Six Feet Under" only had 24% of HBO's nominations, something rotten is going down at Fox and ABC.
