NancyGail — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:23:06 EST

My take on some of the biggest winners at the 13th Annual Satellite Awards.
The International Press Academy recently announced winners for the 13th Annual Satellite Awards. While several who took home first prize are familiar from having won Emmys, a few surprises came up. Cranford won the Miniseries category, but also took home a double honor with a win for Judi Dench as Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for...

The 23rd Annual Gemini Awards Prediction Potrzebie

Cameron Archer — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 10:40:32 EST

Promises to be more entertaining than Alex Strachan.
The 23rd edition of the Gemini Awards, Canada's version of the Emmys, airs this Friday at 8:00 PM ET on Showcase and E! Canwest seems to be admitting that Canada's red-headed stepchild of awards presentations won't attract an audience.The move isn't illogical. Showcase is a better fit for the Gemini Awards than a broadcast...

Diane Kristine — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 10:41:58 EDT

The actress spreads her message of sobriety.
"I'd hit rock bottom. I was going to commit suicide or die of alcohol poisoning.

The Emmy Awards Embraces Its Inner Shatner

Brad Laidman — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:23:04 EDT

How can I hate these people when they are armed with all these post-modern, hip, ironic writers?
Back in the day, it was safe to hate the Emmys. A bunch of people who overestimated their own talent and worth would make really smug, self-conscious attempts to be humble as an entire industry mounted a self-congratulatory campaign and sold commercials to make you watch it. Unfortunately, the world has gotten too hip and ruined all the fun.The...

Predicting the winners with my heart, head, and random number generator.
I have no crystal ball to peer into the future. I have no psychic powers to peer into the minds of voters of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (and I'm not sure I'd have the mental fortitude to withstand that anyway). I do have a heart that has its favourites, a head that processes what more knowledgeable critics think, and a...

The 2008 Andy TV Awards

Andy Sayers — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 10:35:32 EDT

Forget the Emmys. Here's what this year's TV Awards would look like if I was the sole voter selecting the nominees and winners.
The Emmy Awards are this weekend, and once again, the list of nominees are wrong. It's impossible to please everyone, but the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences make it especially hard. It's interesting: while the Oscars have drawn heat of late for the fact that their nominated pictures aren't widely seen productions, the Emmy...
