Re: CSI: LV - No Award Nominations Discussion
Alrighty what I don't understand is for the People's Choice Awards, CSI was nominated for Best TV Drama & its competition was Desperate Housewives but tonight at the Golden Globes DH was nominated in the Comedy Series Category ... I don't get it
Well thats the problem that some people are having since they were first nominated, DH is not set in one catagory and it ticks people off, one explaination given was they were both making them a dramedy (half comedy/half Drama), but since they don't have a catagory for that they fit them in to one or the other.
Now there are alot of shows that would fit into something like that, take "Monk" its a drama, but its funny as heck so it could be a comedy (which personally i think would take it over DH everytime).
Basically i think that the awards shows get their noms and then say well where the heck do we place them? okay this time we will put them in comedy, and then the next year or awards show Drama, its based also on what they submit for review, did they sumbit a comical moment or a dramatic moment.
now i am not saying its fair but different shows, different rules/thoughts, but here is another thing they can nominate a show in a drama but nominate a cast member in a comedy catagory, which allows them to dominate.
Also take this into consideration, by doing this they are causing alot of uproar over it, making it alot talked about, and in the same instance giving the awards and the show nominated.
Talking about shows, it didn't surprise me when CSI wasn't nominated for certain awards because of the fact that they did the same for law and order back when they were constantly nominated for either "Show" or "Actors" then suddenly nothing, and since then nothing, though SVU does get nods, but the orginial stopped in season 12 and look how long it took them to get SVU on the ballot, and yet its usually only Mariska, not the show itself.
So when it came to CSI, if you noticed that the only Noms that were gotten were either the "Show", "William or Marg" the rest are considered supporting casts, and WP and MH are considered Leads when it comes to the show.
So when GE wasn't nominated for his role in GD i wasn't surprised at all.
Now again none of this is fair, all shows are on the air, and all shows should get a fair shot at the awards, make it so that not more then one actor can be nominated in one catagory (ie four DH actresses in one catagory).
Now i thought it fair if say for example CSI won PCA this year then next year maybe keep it to the actor but not the show, which opens the slot for another show to be put in, if they didn't win, allow them to continue to be nominated till they do win, or for a certain amount of time. take a break and try again. Same for actor catagories.
I don't care for when a show is nominated and then like DH four of its cast members are if they so choose they can put the show in one catagory say drama, nominate 2 actresses for drama and two for comedy, dominating all three catagories. Is that fair? no, but apparently that doesn't mean much.
I have more thoughts on this but i think this is long enough lol.
