The Academy of Television, Arts, and Science today announced the nominations for the 57th Annual Emmy Awards, and though CSI received various technical nods, the series failed to snatch the Best Drama nomination.
The nomination has been given to the show every year for the past three years, but the streak stopped in 2005. Instead, the newcomer Lost, along with Deadwood, Six Feet under, 24, and four-time-winner The West Wing, will have a shot at the statuette in the ceremony that'll take place this fall. The surprising move came after months of positive speculation that birthed from the show's Emmy buzz, which was particularly generated by the super-sized season finale "Grave Danger." But the episode only got the series a directing nod.
Below is a list of nominations awarded to CSI and CSI: Miami this year. <ul>
[*] Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series - Guest director <font color=yellow>Quentin Tarantino</font> came up with the storyline for "Grave Danger," in which CSI Nick Stokes is kidnapped and buried alive. The 90-minute episode was watched by 35 million viewers, the largest number up to date. This is the first time CSI has been nominated in the category.
[*] Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Non-Prosthetic) - For the 100th episode of the series, "Ch-Ch-Changes." The make-up department is comprised of <font color=yellow>Melanie Levitt</font>, <font color=yellow>Matthew Mungle</font>, <font color=yellow>Perry Sorel</font>, and <font color=yellow>Pamela Phillips.</font> They had the task of turning various men in to women for the storyline, which revolved around transgenders. CSI was nominated in the same category in 2003 and 2004, and received a win in 2002.
[*] Outstanding Sound Editing For A Series – For the episode "Down The Drain." <font color=yellow>Mace Matiosian</font> and the rest of the team received a statuette for their work in the season 3 episode "Fight Night" in 2003. They were also nominated in the years 2002 and 2001.
[*] Outstanding Sound Editing For A Series – CSI: Miami's only nomination, for the episode "Lost Son." This is the first time <font color=yellow>Ann Hadsell</font> and her team have received an Emmy nomination for their work. Miami's only other technical nomination was Outstanding Cinematography for a Single Camera Series in 2003, which the series won.
[*] Outstanding Single-Camera Sound Mixing For A Series - for the episode "Down the Drain." Comprised of <font color=yellow>Mick Fowler</font>, <font color=yellow>Yuri Reese</font>, and <font color=yellow>Bill Smith</font>, the team was nominated in 2004 for their work in "Grissom Vs The Volcano," in 2003 for "Revenge Is Best Served Cold," and in 2002 for "Primum Non Nocere."[/list]
Actors <font color=yellow>Marg Helgenberger</font> (Catherine Willows), <font color=yellow>George Eads</font> (Nick Stokes), and <font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> (Mac Taylor) were considered strong contenders by various critics, the franchise received no acting nominations. Helgenberger wasn't the only one shut of the Best Actress category, as <font color=yellow>Allison Janney</font>, who won 3 years in a row for her work on The West Wing, didn't make the cut. But Miami's ratings rival Medium was granted an acting nod for <font color=yellow>Patricia Arquette</font>.
HBO lead the way with most Emmy nominations, 93 in all, while CBS came in second with 59. Of all the nominations granted, only Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series will be broadcasted, as the academy recently decided not to air the technical awards in the actual ceremony.
The 53th Annual Emmy Awards ceremony will take place on September 18th in the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood and will be broadcast by CBS. To read a complete list of nominees, visit the Academy of Television, Arts, and Science's official webpage.<center></center>
