Fox drama '24' leads Emmy series nominations

Regis Philbin · Jun 27th, 2006, 09:54 PM

Now that the Producers and some cast members of the FOX hit show "24" went to a Heritage Foundation seminar hosted by *gasp* the dreaded Conservative talkshow host Rush Limbaugh, look for the Hollywood elite to target the show. Not only did the people from "24" socialize with Conservatives at the seminar, they even went over to *gasp* the dreaded Conservative madman Karl Rove's office and had lunch with him!!! They then had dinner with *gasp* U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife at the Supreme Court building, followed by a private tour of the chambers afterward.

Then, if that wasn't bad enough, they boarded Rush's private jet and flew to the Dominican Republic for a little R & R.

I hope not i just discovered 24 and watched seasons 1 and 2 and will purchase 3 very soon, and then 4 and hopefully 5 when it comes out.

It'll get a load of Emmy nominations and Regis will look like a chicken little that makes silly assumptions, which we're used to.

It'll continue this streak: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285331/awards

One of the things I like about 24 is that even thought its unrealistic it does deal with some issues very realistically. Torture at times is necessary, The President orders the torture of the head of the NSA because its something he must do. At times when the time available to get the intelligence is short the lenghts you go might push the limit but its necessary. And a bunch of other things, so it deals with issues in ways that are not just black and white. Which is something that both liberals and conservatives do WAY TOO MUCH.

Hehe Regis, don't forget that President Palmer from the first 3 seasons was a Democrat

But honestly speaking, I don't like 24 that much anymore. Since the 4 season the whole show is just about torture, evil Arabs, etc. It became way too extreme!

I liked the 3 season the most probably!

He he, Iceboy. Don't forget President Palmer is a fictional character portrayed by an actor. And said actor was at the Heritage Foundation seminar with Rush and later lunched with Rove.

Well that might be true but in the show, where he plays the good President, he is a Democrat. In real life he might has had lunch with Rove but in the show (which was watched by the viewers) he portrayed a good President from the Democratic Party

Why do we care who these actors had lunch with??

**Richard Tafoya** · Jul 6th, 2006, 11:34 AM

Over-reaction, chicken-little prognostications, completely inaccurate read of the situation. Sounds like another Regis assessment up in flames.

Fox drama '24' leads Emmy series nominations

Two veteran TV shows, Fox drama "24" and newly departed NBC comedy "Will & Grace," led the field of Emmy Award series nominees on Thursday, despite rule changes designed to welcome new faces to the race for U.S. television's highest honors.

Espionage thriller "24," a perennial favorite with 11 previous wins, topped the list of series contenders with 12 nominations, including a bid for best drama.

"Will & Grace," a winner of 14 Emmys that ended its run this past season, was the most nominated sitcom, gaining recognition in 10 categories, though it failed to earn a nod for best comedy series.

But cable channel TNT's six-part miniseries "Into the West," produced by Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg, scored the biggest tally among all programs vying for Emmys this year with 16 nominations.

The nominee roster also was notable for a number of shows that got snubbed. Last year's best-drama winner, the ABC castaway mystery "Lost," was shut out of the major categories this year, as was network companion "Desperate Housewives," which clinched nominations in 2005 for three of its stars.

Paulie · Jul 6th, 2006, 07:18 PM

Seeing as how Regis and his idol, Drudge, were so quick to claim that "Brokeback Mountain" lost the Oscar to "Crash" due to some perceived backlash as to the theme, I figured I'd post this just in case "24" doesn't win next month (for the record, I'm an unabashed fan of the show...it's the best show on television...and it SHOULD sweep everything!! Like it should have in years past...but as you will soon see......)

This is "24"'s fifth consecutive nomination for Best Drama Series....it's 0-for-4 so far, having lost to "The West Wing" (twice), "The Sopranos" and "Lost".

This is also Keifer Sutherland's fifth consecutive nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Drama....he's also 0-for-4, having lost to Michael Chiklis ("The Shield"), James Gandolfini ("The Sopranos") and James Spader ("Boston Legal") (twice).

So, should the show and actor once again be denied their due (I swear if they lose to "The Sopranos" again, for the CRAP season they just completed, I will scream!), it won't have ANYTHING to do with this phony ass controversy that Regis is trying to create.

I'm disappointed that Geena Davis didn't win for Commander In Chief, which I am VERY disappointed wasn't renewed for this season. She's an incredible actress and the show freaking rocked.

I don't watch 24 so I have no idea what the hype is all about. And as far as them being feted by the NeoCons ... who cares? It's not going to help them come November.

James Dean · Aug 29th, 2006, 12:00 AM

I'm glad The Daily Show won, but I wanted to see Colbert take one home. Oh well, his show isn't a year old yet so there's always next year.

True. Barry Manilow's been around for over 30 years!
