The Most Comprehensive Emmy Coverage Ever

Normally Curling Today sends a fleet of reporters to cover big entertainment events like the Emmys. Unfortunately, CT was anticipating a major curling announcement which never materialized so no reporters were deployed. What is worse, no one at CT watched the Emmys. But does one really need to watch the Emmys to analyze them? Here are the salient details:

Best Drama -- Mad Men. Good choice. A transcendental show is one that not only contains excellent writing and acting, but defines or redefines the genre. It is not that MM harkens back to the 60s, but how it shows a side of that decade that had not been explored. And it grounds some of the nostalgia for that era in a less attractive reality.

Best Comedy – 30 Rock. I do not watch this nearly as much as I should, but it is well-deserving.

Best Actress/Drama – Anyone who saw the riveting Damages knows that there was really no other choice for this one.

Best Actor/Drama – Nice to see a totally left field choice even though I never watched the show.

Best Dressed/Worst Dressed – Some dressed well; others did not; and one looked like a swan (not a good thing).

A comment! A comment! I almost had a heart attack when I saw it. Thank you, TCN, whoever you may be. As for the diff between CT and TCN -- TCN chronicles yesterday's curling news; CT is all about the TODAY.
