Emmy News and Casting

by

Hello again!! Is everyone ready for the weekend (and new episode)? I know I am! Before I head out, though, I have a couple headlines for you. One has to do with the Emmy Awards.

Now, I know the awards season hasn’t been the kindest to the show this year, but there’s still a chance for the show to take home some nice statues and a change in rules just might help do it. The Emmy Awards have decided that there are just too many good shows and actors out there and something has to be done. Their solution? Having six nominees instead of five this year in ten different categories. They include: Best Drama Series, Best Comedy Series, Lead Actress in a Comedy/Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Comedy/Drama. This could both help and hurt the show, in my opinion. It will surely help by giving them one more chance to be nominated, but it’ll also just make the competition stiffer (and any individual’s odds of winning smaller). Personally, I think they could’ve helped by not nominating the same people each year (especially when they’ve already won multiple times or their shows just aren’t that great).

In other news, I’ve got some casting scoop for you. If you don’t wanna know, how about heading over here instead? For the rest of you… read on:

swoosieSwoosie Kurtz, recently of Pushing Daisies, is going to be popping up on Wysteria Lane as a love interest for someone. I’m guessing it’s Orson, personally. Gabby and Carlos have been really solid and Carlos hasn’t really run around in the past (expect when ordered to by Gabby). Tom and Lynette are not likely to have any issues like that and I don’t see Mike running around on Katherine when they haven’t even been together long. Do you agree? Let me know what you think. Take care and see ya next time!
