I need my faith in humanity restored! But at least Tina Fey won, and I'm always happy for Ellen Burstyn getting recognized for her talents. I was kind of rooting for Ernest Borgnine in guest actor. Michael J.

There were a number of strong-willed women in the cast (Burstyn, Ladd) who kept wanting to make the movie authentic to real women's experience. They kept challenging Scorcese to make it more real, and the talk at the time was that he swore never to make another movie with actresses who weren't malleable to his vision, that he couldn't control. Rumours, maybe, born out of the conflict during shooting.old old personnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84794269730200881962009-09-13T21:33:43.805-04:002009-09-13T21:33:43.805-04:00The reason I don't get "worried" abo...The reason I don't get "worried" about Mad Men's chances, even though it lost most of it's technical nominations, is because the way the Emmy's work. The voters pick which categories they would like to watch the tapes for and that's how the DVDs get sent to their houses. <br /><br />They also have a rule that you can't vote for Comedy/Drama series three years in a row. You can only vote twice in three years.Michael B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06587665362502209914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-76975888604061953542009-09-13T20:40:00.505-04:002009-09-13T20:40:00.505-04:00I'm so happy to see Ellen Burstyn thrice-crown...I'm so happy to see Ellen Burstyn thrice-crowned!

It's rather obvious, they put so much into making the same show over and over again (we have what 3 new network hospital shows this year?), because they're guaranteed they cancel anything that doesn't hold 10m+ viewers.... unless they're just stupid, like ABC, and keep Scrubs (which I'm a huge huge fan of) even though it's been very mediocre the last 2 years.Univarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654003558435749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-13712852223094443212009-09-13T17:05:31.856-04:002009-09-13T17:05:31.856-04:00That casting Emmy is a head-scratcher.
