Thursday 15 July 2004, by Webmaster

Despite hope from fans that Joss Whedon and co would be rewarded for years of quality TV. Genre TV wise : Alias and 24 got 8 noms, Carnivale 7, Enterprise 4, Battlestar Galactica 3, Kingdom Hospital 2 and Stargate 1.

56th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

Nominations & Webcast

Plaza on Nomination Morning

Nominations for the 56th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on July 15, 2004 from the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood, California. The Academy’s Chairman of the Board & CEO Dick Askin presided, assisted by Edie Falco and Tony Shalhoub.

The awards presentation telecast awarding Emmys in 28 categories before a black-tie audience will be televised by the ABC Television Network on Sunday, September 19, from the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. The Academy’s Governors Ball will follow the telecast at the Shrine Exhibition Hall, adjacent to the auditorium.

This year’s Emmy telecast will be hosted by Garry Shandling, executive-produced by Don Mischer and produced by Michael Seligman. Danette Herman is the coordinating producer.

Inside the Goldenson

On Sunday, September 12, also at the Shrine Auditorium, 59 awards “categories” (a single award) and “areas” (possibility of one, more than one or no award) will be handed out at a black-tie presentation co-chaired by Michael Hoey and John Moffitt. Spike Jones, Jr. will produce.

Additional awards may also be given for the three "juried areas" (no nominations) of Costumes for a Variety or Music Program, Voice-Over Performance and Individual Achievement in Animation. The announcement of these awards, if any, will be released in August. Additional awards may also be given for Engineering Development, Interactive Television Programming and the Governors Award. These awards, if any, will be announced later this month.

    Okay let me get this straight because my head hurts now.

    Kingdom Hospital, a show which sucks SO bad they had to move it to Thursday nights for everyone to forget about, a show that is supposed to be about a haunted hospital but spends more time on the retarded lives of the doctors that they fit maybe five or six minutes of the ghosts in every episode gets a few nominations. Maybe the emmy people really like ER???

    But Angel, a show which GAINED ratings this year and fairly well kicked ass, a show that promised drama comedy and action and delivered ALL THREE each week gets bubkis.

    Well no more sunshine and lollipops because now im pissed!

    Now you can see why I NEVER watched the emmys. Angel has so much as a show. There is action, drama, comedy, family and friendship, and a bit of horror all rolled up in a television show. TV shows are usually so limiting and one-dimensional this show had no bounderies and broke all rules and had me literally jumping up and down screaming. Where as the rest of the shows on television I’ve gotten mild entertainment but nothing they switched my emotions around so much and so hard. The sad nature of the show is offset so brillantly with it’s constant humor. The sensual nature that vampire’s bring. The action on Angel is great. I guess for you to get any recognition the show has to be mindless dribble that tells you how to think. Or another stupid realtiy show that’s far from reality but gets you caught up in the staged realism that’s the same mundane thing year after year with different people as the change.

    Well, Buffy and Angel never got anything. Why should this year be any different?
