Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was forced to cancel last year’s party, the Golden Globes will finally make its return next month. The 66th annual event is scheduled to air Sunday, January 11th, just over a week before the Academy Award nominations are announced.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:
- HBO, with its 22 nominations, once again led the pack.
- In Treatment and Recount, both from HBO, had five nominations each - the highest number for any program this year.
- House is the only non-cable program to be up for Best Drama.
- True Blood is the only new series to receive any nods.
- Kiefer Sutherland and 24 received nominations for the show’s 2-hour special.

(You can view TV Envy’s Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (11/24)- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): After ten weeks, it all ends tonight. Sadly, I can’t even remember the names of the first two eliminated.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30): “Sam invites boyfriend Owen (James Tupper) for dinner to meet her parents, but Owen and Howard don’t hit it off.” Seems Howard doesn’t approve of his relationship with Anne Heche either.
- Valkyrie: The Plot to Kill Hitler (History, 10pm): “Recalling Operation Valkyrie, a failed plot devised by German officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.” By choosing this documentary over the Tom Cruise version, you’ll be able to save a few more bucks for Christmas.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): “Audrina confronts Lauren and Justin after rumors circulate that the two hooked up.” By “confront,” we mean Audrina has them refer to the television interviews she’s conducted on the topic.

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,
Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.
Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.
So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, Entourage, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Lost, Saturday Night Live, The Office, News,
Bright and early this morning, Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris announced the nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.
This year, we saw many first-timers named, a long list of cable acknowledgements (for pay and basic channels) and several 6-way races.
Topping the noms for drama programs was newcomer Mad Men; NBC’s 30 Rock lead all comedy programs. In total, HBO was the most-nominated network while ABC came in second.
This year’s ceremony will be held on Sept. 21 on ABC.

Thanks to the cancelation of the Golden Globes ceremony, the hottest ticket in town was tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. Without a picket line to cross, celebrities from TV and Film were allowed to celebrate - and commiserate - together for the first time in a long while.
For star-deprived fans, the SAG red carpet was also a treat for sore eyes. What were our favorite actresses wearing? What were the latest trends? Which dresses were going to be copied by Allen Schwartz tomorrow?
Unfortunately, the evening was not all about partying. The recent deaths of Suzanne Pleshette and Heath Ledger cast a somber tone on what would normally be a festive occasion. Thankfully, tonight was not about dissecting their lives, but merely about honoring them.
Meanwhile, the neglected winners of this month’s Globes were also hoping to get a share of the honors. If they were able to pull off another victory tonight, maybe they would have a chance to give the speech they already had written.
Well, without further ado, here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the fashionably late West Coast!

This may be last time you get to see a group of actors celebrating together for quite some time.

CBS Takes the Thursday Ratings Win
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
Although the introduction of ‘Seinfeld Vision’ helped the premiere of 30 Rock, it didn’t do do much for the network. CBS took Must See Thursday—followed by ABC, NBC, FOX and CW.
8pm
- Survivor (14.1 million, 4.4/13 in 18-49 demo) took the hour in both viewers and the key demographic group.
- ABC’s Ugly Betty (9.8 million, 3.4/10) saw a loss of over 1 million viewers this week, while My Name Is Earl (8 million, 3.4/10) lost 1/2 as much.
- Emmy-award winning 30 Rock (7.4 million, 3.4/9) saw a 53% viewer increase from last season’s finale.
9pm
- Although CSI (20.8 million, 6.3/16 in key demo) lost 16% of last week’s viewers, it still took the crown from Grey’s.
- Grey’s Anatomy (18.1 million, 7.4/18) also saw a loss in viewers but remained dominant in the 18-49 demo.
- A million less viewers saw Pam and Jim outed in this week’s episode of The Office (8.5 million, 4.5/11).
10pm
- Without A Trace (14.5 million, 3.8/11) lost 13% of last week’s audience and narrowly won in the key demos.
- ER (9 million, 3.7/10) was down 1 million this week; Big Shots (8.7 million, 3.7/10) was down from it’s 11.1 million premiere.
