I söndags ägde den 59e Emmy galan rum och det var väll inga större överaskningar. Gladast är jag nog över att 30 Rock vann som bästa komedi, den serien förtjänar all uppmärksamhet den kan få. Efter en skakig inledning blev den en av veckans höjdpunkter framåt våren. Sen tycker jag det är lite tråkigt att se Jeremy Piven vinna för sin roll som Ari Gold i Entourage, igen. Är det bara jag som börjar tröttna lite på hans gapande och skrikande? Visst, han gör det jävligt bra och det är en hel den sköna kommentarer han kommer med. Men rollen känns inte direkt mångfacetterad nog att vinna priser år efter år. Aja, alla årets nomineringar i huvudkategorierna av intresse med mina val i kursiv stil och vinnarna markerade med * kan ni läsa efter hoppet.
