What year is it?

I know it's been a week since I have blogged, but I will crank out two tonight, and they will both be about your best friend, the television.

Some of you may have watched the Emmy's on Sunday, or you are like most Americans and your read on the Internet who won and it only took 3 minutes to read everything that took 3.5 hours on television.

The thing that stuck out to me is that the Emmy voters are getting very easy. Going into the award ceremony, about 75% of the nominees were the same as last year. The really lazy part comes in with the number of winners that were exactly the same as last year.

• Mad Men won again for best drama (It is the best show on tv, so that makes sense I guess)
• 30 Rock won for best comedy, 3 times in a row. (It is funny, but I don't know if it has been the funniest for 3 years now.)
• Daily Show for best variety show (now for 8 years in a row)
  
• ALec Baldwin for best actor in a comedy'
• Glenn Close for best actress in a drama
• Bryan Cranston for best actor in a drama
• An actor from Lost for best supporting actor in a drama (last year, John O'Terry and This year Michael Emerson)

Maybe its just a sad commentary that there really isn't anything on television, or that the Emmy voters are lazy and they just keep turning in last year's ballot.
