On the fandom front, it seems that the Emmy nominations pimp list for CSI:NY has come out. Predictably, Gary and Carmine were listed, and deservedly so, though to be blunt, I suspect that Gary was nominated more for his name than his performance. And Carmine, well, I can't deny that he knows how to turn it on.
I was surprised by the omission of Melina Kanakaredes, though. She's consistently wonderful as Stella, and she had some great moments this season, most notably in "Right Next Door" and "Taxi". She should have been submitted for consideration.
And why the hell wasn't Carmine Argenzziano submitted for his role in "Admissions"? If A.J. Buckley, who by the by, has been touted as a regular for a full season by the PTB, yet never credited as such, can be submitted for the festering dungpile known as "The Shameless, Trendy, Tie-in That Sucked So Much Ass That The NY Lungs Were Showing" AKA "Down the Rabbit Hole", then Carmine AG should've been listed for his incredible performance as Gerrard.
I'm disappointed that Eddie got no love for "All in the Family," but not surprised. While Flack certainly shone as a friend indeed to a friend in need, that was Danny's and Riki's episode. Besides, CBS and NY probably decided to back the horse with greater star power and a larger body of work throughout the season, and that's Carmine. Eddie and Flack are talented and criminally underused in the role. Hopefully, S5 will remedy that, and Eddie will finally get a nod; maybe "Veritas" will do the trick.
And let's not discuss Hawkes, who, bless him, is the Professor Binns of NY, unappreciated and all but forgotten.
At least no one was stupid enough to put Anna Belknap's hat in the ring. If they had, I would've curled up in the shower with a bottle of Beam and drunk myself into an incontinent stupor.
