From 8pm to It-Seems-Like-Eternity on Fox. But hey, whoa, this is the first carbon neutral Emmys, co-sponsored by Fox - but isn't acknowledging that they should attempt to become carbon neutral against the positions of every news and opinion personality in all Fox networks? I guess that's the kind of hypocrisy we like. HERE's the primetime awards website. Some nutty company called AirPlay lets you do live predictions of who might win, with trivia,......

Tonight at the Shrine Auditorium, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will bestow the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards. This year the Academy has launched their Green With Emmy Campaign. The event features the use of alternative fuel sources for deliveries, hybrid vehicles for talent, recycled paper, a set created from mostly rentals with less construction and waste, staff tuxedo will be dry cleaned with eco friendly solutions and not covered in plastic bags,......

KCBS and its KCAL affiliate picked up seven awards at the Los Angeles Emmy Awards last night, with the award for live coverage of an unannounced event going to the team for the Esperanza fire.

His role as pain-pill popper Dr. Gregory House is a heartbreaking study of pathos. As the brilliant "leader" of a crack team of physicians who take on the medical cases no one else can solve, Laurie’s character borders on being antisocial; but the hospital he works for......

Ellen DeGeneres. The name brings a myriad of thoughts to mind... comedian, talk show host, Dory the fish, and [unlikely] gay icon. Despite all these titles, DeGeneres is best known for being witty and compassionate--making her perfect for the role of emcee. After 9/11, DeGeneres hosted and wrote the 53rd Annual Emmys.

If you haven't watched the show much, but have heard people rave about it, you should know that part of the enjoyment comes from running motifs that blossom in bizarre ways through different episodes. Also, the more you get to know the strange and selfish characters, the more......
