Crime Drama Emmy Nominations, Anyone?
In spite of the success of FBI and general crime dramas, there seems to be very little love for these type shows in the 2008 Primetime Emmy Nominations lineup. I’m sure all the other nominations are highly well-deserved (such as Andromeda Strain and John Adams in “Outstanding Miniseries”).
The category for “Outstanding Actress, Drama” has the most crime drama representation. I don’t profess to know how series/films/actors are chosen for the Emmy nominations, but I do admit I’m a bit disappointed. Below are the names of the actresses up for nomination for their respected shows in this category:
Outstanding Actress, Drama
- Sally Field, Brothers & Sisters
- Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer
- Glenn Close, Damages
- Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
- Holly Hunter, Saving Grace
So who do you think will win this one? I’d say it’s a tie between two very strong women from police drama series listed here.
A few facts about the Emmys? The main ceremony will be held in September as usual, generally the Sunday before the start of the new fall season. Behind-the scene awards (directors, cinematographers, etc.) are generally awarded in a separate ceremony.
Update: Here is the Criminal Minds nomination for Outstanding Stunt Coordination:
Criminal Minds • Tabula Rasa • CBS • ABC Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television
Tom Elliott, Stunt Coordinator
