Several news media publications have already begun bashing the Emmy Academy for their choices. Most people seem to think they didn't even bother watching the tapes they were given, and just re-nominated last year's contenders. I respectfully disagree about this season - I thought it was great, and there were a lot of really positive critical reviews on it. I think that if this had been the first or second season of a show, it would have been nominated, it's just that the Emmys tend to give nods to shows more for political or structural reasons than for quality.

The Emmy awards time is upon us, the creative arts awards have come and gone See Csifiles News article. For more information see The 59th Primetime Emmy Awards: Sunday, September 16 Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles.
NOPE none were there, and I even suffered thought the pre-show, with Ryan Seacrest... no one.. and the ones that won, give me a break.. please.. and not just because of CSI, but all the other top rated shows, NOTHING. I was pleased about Sally Field,[don't watch this show] and even though she swore they bleeped it out, she looked happy.. great actress, to bad she's not on CSI I wanted Kyra to win I enjoyed Tony Bennett with Christina, classy, and the tribute to "ROOTS" with Queen Latifah, gawd, 30 years ago, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, their a riot :lol: and The Jersey Boys. enjoyable.. but the others that won, not even as good as our teams, in my opinion! Maybe we should lock these judges in a room, and force them to watch S/7 all the way through
*sigh* I too suffered through the pre show. All through it I was saying "Jorja, Jorja, Jorja" in my head, but alas, she wasn't there. Once I thought I caught a glimpse of Marg, but it was probably just my imagination. I like your idea, desert, about locking the judges in a room. They want emotion, show 'em empty eyes and leapin lizards. They better win some Screen Actors Guild awards in January.
CSI:LV has been nominated for the Peoples' Choice Award for Best TV Drama. Last year's winner, Grey's Anatomy, didn't make the nominees which also include House and Law and Order:SVU.
YAY!!!! It's about time. Are there any actors or anything else nominated? When ARE the People's Choice Awards?
No - that was CSI's only nomination. GA got a couple of nods for actors - Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl and Chandra Wilson. For the most part, I didn't see any shows getting more than about 3 noms.
We'll still have the PCAs even with the strike, right? Or does it all fall on how long the strike is? Speaking of which, I hope it gets resolved soon...
