Get Excited For Food Network's Fall Lineup

partysugar — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:15:14 -0700

Two of the Food Network's new shows for Fall have been announced. The first, features FN favorite Giada De Laurentiis in Giada at Home (debuts Oct. 18 at 1 p.m.). The show is described as a "stylish lifestyle and cooking series that follows her as she plans and prepares meals for her families and friends." I've always been a huge fan of Giada's recipes and am thrilled to check out what she has to offer outside the realm of Italian cooking.

The second, entitled The Chef Jeff Project is an interesting experiment that helps troubled youth. The series will follow Chef Jeff Henderson, a "former prison inmate turned successful executive chef," as he teaches six struggling young adults how to cook.

Highlighting the power and passion of food, the Chef Jeff Project airs on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 10 p.m. Will you be watching?

Announcing the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:50:48 -0700

This morning Chandra Wilson and The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons rather adorably announced the major category nominees for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards. It's a curious batch this year, with many of the categories containing more nominees than usual.

The 30 Rock appreciation continues, and has even increased, with a 30 Rock nomination in each of the comedy acting fields (and two in the Supporting Actor category - go Jack McBrayer!). There's still more love for Boston Legal and none for Friday Night Lights, which is disappointing but not surprising, and True Blood is nowhere to be found in the major categories.

For the first time in a long time, Jeremy Piven is not nominated for his work on Entourage, though Pushing Daisies is still getting a bit of attention with a nomination for Kristen Chenoweth. Kathy Griffin hopefully won't have quite so much to gripe about during the next season of My Life on the D-List, as she picked up not one but two nominations.

And as I'd hoped, there is some appreciation for an actress on Mad Men - but it's not January Jones. To see a list of nominees, read more.

Announcing the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:41:44 -0700

Hollywood was up bright and early this morning for the announcement of the nominees for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. We'd been speculating for a while about who'd be on the list, and now we know: Mad Men indeed got a lot of love, with nominations in the Outstanding Drama Series category and several of the acting categories (though I'm sad to see the show's women shut out), while Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who? were the two new network series to break through. And this was indeed the year of the cable series, with Damages, In Treatment, Saving Grace, The Closer, Breaking Bad, and Dexter just a few of the non-network series to get significant nominations.

Of course, there were also some yawners - will the Emmys never stop loving Boston Legal or Entourage? Was Curb Your Enthusiasm even on this year? OK, I'll save the rest of my griping for my snap judgments later today. For now, to see the whole list, just read more.

Announcing the 2008 Emmy Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:21:08 -0700

Well, if we've learned anything from this year's list of Emmy award winners it's that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences loves the smart sarcasm (30 Rock) and the historical dramas (John Adams and Mad Men). Those three series pretty much dominate the list of winners, though there's also clearly some love for Damages, In Treatment and the TV movie Recount.

Not a win in sight this year for either Grey's Anatomy or Ugly Betty. Weeds also missed out altogether, while House earned one award for directing (Greg Yaitanes) and Lost picked up one award for sound mixing, but nothing else.

Are you surprised by any of this? Delighted? Disappointed? How do these winners stack up against what your hopes were before the awards ceremony?

Snap Judgment: Emmy Odds and Ends

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:30:54 -0700

I've already told you my thoughts on the comedy and drama nominations for the Emmys, but I'm not done quite yet. Today, I have a look at some of the more offbeat nominees and stranger categories (and there sure are plenty) for the awards:

So the Extras Extra Special Series Finale got submitted as a TV movie, and it came out with six nominations. My favorite: Ashley Jensen for supporting actress in the miniseries/movie category. Her work is always hilarious, but she also got some of the more touching moments in the finale.
The lead actress category for miniseries/movies has some serious acting powerhouses. Check out this list of talent: Catherine Keener, Susan Sarandon, Judi Dench, Laura Linney, Phylicia Rashad. Pretty impressive company.
I love plumbing the more obscure Emmy categories for shows that can now refer to themselves as "Emmy-nominated." Like, for example, "The Emmy nominated Pirate Master!" Or, perhaps, "The Emmy-nominated According to Jim!"
Chuck may have only gotten two Emmy nominations, but they're both totally appropriate: one for Outstanding Stunt Coordination, and the other for Outstanding Main Title Design.

For my thoughts on the hilarious Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category and a few others, just read more.

There's truly something beautiful about a category in which two Flight of the Conchords songs ("The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)" and "Inner City Pressure" - my favorite!) will go head to head with "I'm F**king Matt Damon." (Apparently the Ben Affleck version didn't make the cut.) Also in that cateogory: a song from the Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb. Heh.
Speaking of those "I'm F**king" videos, they got a total of three Emmy nominations. I can't wait to hear what the announcer will say if one of them wins something.
Reality hosts got their own category this time for the first year ever, and it's mostly the usual suspects (Seacrest, Bergeron, Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst). Was anyone surprising left out?
I guess The Amazing Race will probably win the reality competition category (again), but I just have to cheer the nominations for Project Runway and Top Chef.
Impressive list of nominations for This American Life in its second year, including Outstanding Nonfiction Series. The show pulled in five nominations overall.
John Adams fans, do you think the miniseries deserved its 22 nominations? All I know is, it's a good thing there were a bunch of actors playing dead presidents this year, cause it sure made things easy for the folks picking the nominees for best supporting actor in the miniseries/movie division.

Did any quirky or unexpected nominations really stand out to you?
