The prime time Emmy Award nominations were announced today. HBO’s The Sopranos, led the way with 15 nominations in for their final season, including best drama. James Gandolfini, who played the emotionally damaged mob boss on HBO’s “The Sopranos,” and Edie Falco, who played his wife, both received top acting nominations. Joining Gandolfini, in a tough field, lead drama series actor nominees were Hugh Laurie of “House,” Denis Leary of “Rescue Me,” James Spader of “Boston Legal” and last year’s winner Kiefer Sutherland of “24.” Falco will compete with Patricia Arquette of “Medium,” Minnie Driver of “The Riches,” Sally Field of “Brothers & Sisters,” Kyra Sedgwick of “The Closer” and last year’s winner, Mariska Hargitay of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”
“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and its spinoff, “The Colbert Report” with Stephen Colbert, both on Comedy Central, received nominations for outstanding variety, music or comedy series, along with “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” (NBC), “Late Show with David Letterman” (CBS) and “Real Time with Bill Maher” (HBO). In the category of outstanding individual performance in a variety or music program, Messrs. Stewart, Colbert and Letterman were also nominated, along with Ellen DeGeneres (as host of the 79th Annual Academy Awards) and Tony Bennett, for “An American Classic,” an NBC special. Conspicuously absent were the “Tonight” show and its host, Jay Leno.
In a category known as “outstanding reality-competition program,” the most popular show on television, “American Idol,” will once again seek its first victory; its challengers are “The Amazing Race” (CBS), the winner the past four years; “Dancing with the Stars” (ABC); and “Project Runway” and “Top Chef,” both on Bravo. As part of those nominations a make up artist I am currently working with on ON THE LOT reality show, Melanie Mills is nominated in the best make up category for “Dancing With The Stars”. Good luck Melanie!
