David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Will “Anatomy� sag at the SAGs?
If you’re a member of the Screen Actors Guild who hasn’t yet submitted your ballot for Sunday’s SAG Awards, what are you doing wasting your time reading this blog? (Granted, any part of that scenario is highly unlikely, but…)
Deadline for ballot submission is noon Pacific time today.
Given the deadline, one wonders how the whole Isaiah Washington controversy that erupted last week at the Golden Globes will affect “Grey’s Anatomy’s� chances in the Ensemble in a Drama Series category. (The show’s up against “24,� “Boston Legal,� “Deadwood� and “The Sopranos.�)
Clearly, it’s the hottest show in the category, the most easily addictive amongst its huge fan base (not one but two proposals of marriage in Thursday’s episode), and it demands significantly more of its cast than the second-hottest show, “24,� where everyone basically spends every frame looking as intense as possible.
But will voters want to be perceived as giving an award, at least in part, to an acknowledged homophobe? Or will they want to throw in and offer condolences to the rest of the cast for having to work with the guy?
For which show would you have voted? For that matter, any thoughts on which show – amongst “Desperate Housewives,� “Entourage,� “The Office,� “Ugly Betty� and “Weeds� – should win Ensemble in a Comedy Series?
Comments
No contest: "24: should definitely win Best Ensemble Comedy.
