Whatever your opinion of Breaking Bad (there are apparently some of you out there that don’t enjoy it?), it’s hard to deny that these final eight episodes are triumph of television storytelling. With the final shot of “Gliding Over All” Vince Gilligan and team set into motion an endgame that is marvelous to behold. There…
[maxbutton id="3"] The race for Lead Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie is a tough one to hash out. Manu pundits have Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton (Fargo) leading to win by a large margin, but I don't think it's a slam dunk like many think. Mark Ruffalo (The Normal Heart) gave a phenomenal and passionate performance,…
It's no secret that most award shows don't get it completely right, but the Emmys are probably the most guilty of that. Why? Because they have years to nominate an actor or a show, but never do. While after years of ignoring the Emmys finally give a show it's fair notice (i.e. Friday Night Lights), most…

There is one episode submission that stands out from the pack and stuck with me throughout my viewing of the tapes. Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) submitted the episode "Message Received" where he tries to get money for his…
What’s not to love about Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He’s a talented young actor who’s good-looking and very charismatic. He starred in great films such as Inception, 500 Days of Summer, and Angels in the Outfield (He played the main character who saw the angels, I just blew some of you’re minds didn’t I?). So what if…
[maxbutton id="3"] I think this category is going to come down between the two Saturday Night Live nominees. Jimmy Fallon had won in this category before for his hosting job, and has blasted into the spotlight this year when he took over The Tonight Show with acclaim and big ratings. However, Louis C.K. is also…
Antarctigo Vespucci is a project that was born from musical masterminds Jeff Rosenstock, who just recently put the music collective Bomb the Music Industry! to bed, and Fake Problems' vocalist Chris Farren.
