Desperate Housewives

“Desperate Housewives” left out at the Emmys

by Marilyn Porter

The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced and there was a notable exception to the list: “Desperate Housewives” was left off the list for Best Comedy for what might be the first time since the show first aired in 2004. The only major award “Desperate Housewives” was nominated for, in fact, was for Felicity Huffman (which, all things said, BIG congrats for her because she definitely deserves it).

Also left off the list for the most part is the critical and audience fave “Friday Night Lights”. The Emmy’s had better watch it or they will find themselves becoming rapidly irrelevant in the eyes of the viewers. And we all know, when it comes down to it, the viewers are ones who really run the show in Hollywood. Just sayin’.
