Ok so I've been slacking on my Top-10 Movies lists (don't worry I'll get there eventually), & sadly those lists will have to be pushed back another few weeks thanks to the upcoming College Football & NFL previews but today, in honor of Sunday's Emmys, I will be presenting the first annual Joeys.
Why am I doing my own awards in place of an Emmys preview? A. I want to give a shout out to my favorite shows. B. Emmy voters are the people involved in making television, hence they don't actually have that much time to watch television (which is why the TCA's, the Television Critics Awards, are generally much better), making me just as qualified to choose the best performance in television as the Emmy voters. C. Because Emmy voters don't watch that much television they often make ghastly, indefensible, choices such as never giving The Wire (considered by most critics, & Bill Simmons, to be one of the 2 greatest dramas in television history along with The Sopranos) an Emmy, & only 2 nominations to boot. More recently they gave John Cryer Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Two and a Half Laughs (O wait, that's supposed to be Men, my bad) over the brilliant work of Rainn Wilson & Neil Patrick Harris. Now on to the Joeys!
