The Emmy count-down has begun. What are the chances that MAD MEN will prevail? Or, more likely, what are the chances that it will lose to one of its exhausted and jumped-the-shark rivals like BOSTON LEGAL or LOST? It's only the best show since DEADWOOD, with one of the classiest websites of any show, ever.
I stopped watching this particular awards orgy several years ago, opting instead for a late night scan in fast-forward once the horror has subsided, slowing down only for the occasional miracles and skimming quickly through most of the muck and the madness.
Frankly, I don't think I've been the same since BRIDESHEAD REVISTED lost to MARCO POLO (does anyone even remember MARCO POLO?) and, that same year, Anthony Andrews and Jeremy Irons were snubbed in favor of Mickey Rooney in BILL. You just can't bounce back --ever-- from something like that.
