I'm surprised that Jorja got a submission, yet Melina didn't for NY. I'm also shocked Adam Rodriguez didn't get one for Miami. :eek:
 
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 fill 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.

Indeed, she was an interesting character, gosh there have been so many great guests, Faye Dunnaway, Steve Lawrence, Roger Daltry [I thought he'd get a Emmy nod] and so many more, it's so great that so many of our cast is up, also that Anthony LaPaglia was in the mix, anazing ep, he was great:bolian:, good selection, and so thrilled that our girl Jorja/Sara was in the mix as well, she so deserves a nod for her amazing performance

I'm not sure why George wasn't named in an episode! He was brilliant in "Laying Down With The Dogs".

Unless they just think he shined in every episode..which he does..

Alas, CSI won't get nominated anyways..not enough conjugal relations for the Emmy people!

I'm so happy that Emily was submitted for consideration for an Emmy nomination. She has done a phenomenal job portraying Calleigh is CSI: Miami and her performance in "All In" was beyond excellent. I'm hoping she gets the nomination, but if she doesn't, the fans know how hard she's worked and that she deserves so much more.
