Paul Giamatti as John Adams (HBO)
With 23 nominations, including Paul Giamatti’s nod as Lead Actor in a Mini-Series, HBO’s JOHN ADAMS mini-series was the overall frontrunner in 2008’s Emmy Awards announcements.
In a new twist, 2 basic cable shows, MAD MEN and DAMAGES, also managed to achieve Best Series nominations, something basic cable programs had never managed to do until now.
Here are just some of the 2008 nominees (with the ones I’d like to see win in red):

And The Oscar Goes To…

In what I thought was an interesting twist, the 80th Annual Best Picture Oscar went to the movie featuring the Best Supporting Actor instead of the picture with the Best Actor. In fact, none of the lead actors of the Best Picture were nominated for their roles in it… (Tommy Lee Jones was nominated for a Best Actor, but for a different movie.)
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN took home 4 awards (Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Writing – Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role) making it the “winningest” movie of the year. It appears Javier Bardem’s performance helped push the movie to the top over THERE WILL BE BLOOD (Best Actor in a Lead Role, Best Cinematography).
