Emmys 2009

[Last_Gunslinger]

Bei der Kategorie stellt sich mir die Frage, ob wirklich jemand diesen Pony von J. Garner mag. Die Stylisten für das Verbrechen noch zu nominieren ist einfach unglaublich.

Wie schon in den TV-News geschrieben kommen nun auch endlich die dt. Zuschauer in den Genuss der Emmy-Verleihung. Man muss zwar noch auf eine offzielle Pressemitteilung warten aber die Sache dürfte so gut wie sicher sein. Wenn es neue und feste Informationen gibt erfahrt ihr hier mehr darüber.

Inzwischen dürften viele wissen, dass die Emmys dieses Jahr und hoffentlich auch in den kommenden Jahren auf ProSieben übertragen werden. Doch einige Tage vor den Emmys wird noch eine andere Top-Veranstaltung zu sehen sein.

Am Mittwoch, den 14.09. werden die World Music Awards 2005 ab 06:00 Uhr live aus dem Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles übertragen. Die Show wird ungefähr 2 Stunden dauern und es wird eine Zusammenfassung um 00:00 Uhr geben.


Doch nun zurück zu den Emmys. Die gibt es am Sonntag, den 18.09. live ab 02:00 Uhr zu sehen. Eingeplant sind für die Übertragung ungefähr 3 Stunden, also bis 5:00 Uhr. Die Zusammenfassung gibt es dann am Montag um 23:30 Uhr auf ProSieben. Gastgeber ist zum bereits dritten Mal Ellen DeGeneres.

Bereits am 11.09. werden die Creative Arts Emmys verliehen. Hier wird der kanadische Komiker und Schauspieler George Lopez der Gastgeber sein. Alle Gewinner dieser Veranstaltung gibt es natürlich auch hier.

Die Creative Emmys sind nun draussen und hier ist das Ergebnis:

Actor and comedian George Lopez hosted the 57th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards, where HBO topped the list of winners with 20 golden statuettes. Among broadcast networks, ABC led the field with 10 awards, and PBS followed closely with nine.

Presenters at the ceremony, which was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, included actors Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Zach Braff (Scrubs), James Callis (Battlestar Gallactica), Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) Kristin Chenoweth (West Wing), Blythe Danner (Back When They Were Grownups; Huff; Will & Grace), Victor Garber (Alias), Jennifer Garner (Alias), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Gallactica), Charlotte Jorgensen (Dancing with Stars), Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck), Ian McShane (Deadwood), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), John O’Hurley (Dancing with Stars), CCH Pounder (The Shield), Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck), Geoffrey Rush (The Life & Death of Peter Sellers), Tony Shalhoub (Monk) and Dylan Walsh (Nip/Tuck).

Lewis’ award, which was accompanied by a standing ovation, featured a videotape retrospective of his many decades of muscular dystrophy telethons, including appearances by Milton Berle, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and, of course, many of the children with neuromuscular diseases whose prospects have been so greatly improved by Lewis’ tireless fundraising efforts.

“It’s a strange feeling getting a commendation for something your heart tells you that you must do,” said Lewis, who noted with pride that donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association recently surpassed the $2 billion mark. “I have been accused of being so selfless,” the 79-year-old comedy legend continued. “But I have to correct that. I am probably the most selfish man you will ever meet. No one gets the satisfaction or joy that I get from kids who realize there is hope.”

In addition to numerous light moments, such as when fitness icon Jack LaLanne took the stage and led the crowd in an impromptu exercise routine, the show featured a great deal of emotion as well.

Perhaps the most poignant moments were the speeches of Sophie Williams, who accepted two awards—Outstanding Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming (Single or Multi-Camera) and Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming—on behalf of her late husband, British filmmaker James Miller, who received the awards for his work on Death in Gaza, a harrowing HBO documentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which he was filming when he died. In a halting voice, Miller’s widow informed the audience that on May 2, 2003, her husband was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier while making the project.

“James felt that the role of the director was to stand back and let the story tell itself, but he became a part of this story,” said Sophie Williams, who added that the soldier who killed her husband went free in April of this year. “We are immensely proud of him.”

A few moments later, James Miller was honored with a third award, for Exceptional Merit in Nonfiction Filmmaking, which was accepted by his sister, Katie, who said that it was fitting that her late brother had won three Emmys—one for Sophie, and one for each of their two children.

In addition to honors for animation, variety series and many technical categories, which included picture editing, sound editing, sound mixing, special visual effects, cinematography and art direction, four acting awards were handed out. Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series went to Amanda Plummer for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series went to Kathryn Joosten for Desperate Housewives; Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series went to Ray Liotta for ER; and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series went to Bobby Cannavale for Will & Grace.

Among the acting winners, only Joosten, who is also a governor in the Television Academy’s Performers Peer Group, was on hand to accept her award. In an amusing and touching speech, Joosten said she would like to exhume her late ex-husband, who was not supportive of her decision to pursue a professional acting career in middle age, to show him the extent to which her efforts had borne fruit. She then thanked her two sons for their unflagging love and encouragement. Backstage, Joosten told reporters that winning an Emmy was “the top of the mountain. I started out twenty-some years ago in community theater; I played a stripper in Gypsy. So to be here with this [award] is the ultimate.”

HBO, which in recent years has had tremendous Emmy success, enjoyed more of the same this year. Six of its awards went to The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, the biopic starring Geoffrey Rush as the titular chameleonic British actor; five to the acclaimed Western series Deadwood; and three each to Warm Springs, the historical drama about President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s struggle with polio, and to Death in Gaza. ABC’s 10 trophies included four each for its hit series Lost and Desperate Housewives.

Rounding out the winners after HBO, ABC and PBS were NBC with eight awards, Cartoon Network with seven, CBS with six and Fox with four. Nickelodeon and Showtime garnered two apiece, and A&E, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel and Hallmark each took home one.

Die Emmys sind für dieses Jahr durch und hier sind die Ergebnisse:

Marked by numerous awards for veteran performers and emotional career-appreciation tributes, the 57th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, featured playful musical numbers and heartfelt words of support on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

In its ninth and final season, the CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond was named Outstanding Comedy Series. In its debut season, the ABC hit Lost took top honors as Outstanding Drama Series. Outstanding Reality-Competition Series went to CBS’ The Amazing Race.

The television industry’s commitment to aiding the storm’s victims was evident throughout the evening, beginning with New Orleans native DeGeneres, who lightened the heartfelt comments during her opening monologue with a comical zinger: “It’s times like this when we really need laughter. Look for me next month when I host the North Korean People’s Choice Awards.”

Many presenters and winners wore magnolias, the official state flower of both Louisiana and Mississippi. In addition, videotaped spots on behalf of the Television Academy’s designated charity, Habitat for Humanity, ran throughout the program.

The acting categories included a handful of repeat winners, as well as several genuine surprises. For the second consecutive year, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series went to Tony Shalhoub for his performance as obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk in the USA series Monk, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series went to James Spader for his work as ethically challenged attorney Alan Shore in ABC’s Boston Legal.

But in defiance of advance predictions by armies of pre-Emmy handicappers, Felicity Huffman was named Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance as beleaguered suburban wife and mother Lynettte Scavo on ABC’s Desperate Housewives. Patricia Arquette, who said she was "99% certain (she) would not win," prevailed as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of psychic crime solver Allison DuBois in NBC’s Medium. Huffman bested her Desperate co-stars Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross, as well as Raymond’s Patricia Heaton and Malcolm in the Middle’s Jane Kaczmarek.

The Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series went to Everybody Loves Raymond’s Brad Garrett, marking his third victory in the category. Garrett began his acceptance speech with the quip, “I have to dedicate this to Britney and our baby.” Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series was given to William Shatner for his performance as loose-cannon lawyer Denny Crane on Boston Legal. Last year, Shatner won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for the same role.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series went to Doris Roberts, the meddling mother-in-law on Everybody Loves Raymond, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series was given to Blythe Danner for the role of Isabelle “Izzy” Huffstodt on the Showtime original series Huff. Roberts’ victory marked her fourth Emmy for her work on Raymond, and her fifth Emmy overall—she was previously honored as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama series for her work on the series St. Elsewhere. This year, Danner was also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Will & Grace, and for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie for the CBS/Hallmark Hall of Fame production Back When We Were Grownups.

Among movies and miniseries, four separate HBO productions took home the acting prizes. Outstanding Lead Actor went to Geoffrey Rush in the title role of protean British actor Peter Sellers in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers; Outstanding Lead Actress was won by S. Epatha Merkerson for Lackawanna Blues; living legend Paul Newman was named Outstanding Supporting Actor for Empire Falls; and Jane Alexander topped the Outstanding Supporting Actress category for Warm Springs. HBO won Best Movie as well, with Warm Springs, about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s struggle with polio, taking top honors. In the Outstanding Miniseries category, however, it was PBS on top with the Masterpiece Theater presentation The Lost Prince.

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series was won by Mitchell Hurwitz and Jim Vallely for Arrested Development, while Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series went to David Shore for the Fox medical series House. Outstanding Writing for a Movie or Miniseries went to Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

In the directing categories, ABC’s two big hits took top honors. Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series went to Charles McDougall for the pilot of Desperate Housewives, and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series was won by J.J. Abrams for the pilot of Lost. Meanwhile, Outstanding Directing for a Movie or Miniseries was won by Stephen Hopkins for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

Outstanding Variety or Music Program was won by the Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which also took home top honors for Outstanding Writing for a Variety or Music Program. Outstanding Directing for a Variety or Music Program went to Buddy Gunts for the opening ceremony of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad on NBC. The winner for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program was Hugh Jackman for hosting the 58th Annual Tony Awards on CBS.

The familiar television phrase “tune in” took on fresh meaning at this year’s Emmys, which were filled with tunes from the get-go. Executive producer Ken Ehrlich, who has guided the Grammy Awards for the past 25 years brought his musical expertise to the fore with a rousing opening performance by Earth, Wind and Fire and the Black Eyed Peas, who blended their voices in service of the Earth, Wind and Fire hit “September,” reworked with new lyrics recapping the year in television. Setting the tone for an ebullient evening, Everybody Loves Raymond co-star Doris Roberts was coaxed from her seat to dance in the aisles with members of the band.

In another musical twist, this year’s Emmy’s featured a recurring segment called “Emmy Idol,” in which familiar TV faces sang the theme songs from classic TV series, with the viewing audience invited to vote on its favorites online or via text messaging. Donald Trump and Will & Grace’s Megan Mullaly sang the theme from Green Acres, Kristen Bell of UPN’s Veronica Mars sang the theme from Fame, CSI’s Gary Dourdan and Grammy winner Macy Gray, who appeared in HBO’s Lackawanna Blues, sang the theme from The Jeffersons and William Shatner was joined by mezzo soprano opera legend Frederica Von Stade for an unlikely rendition of the theme from Shatner’s former series Star Trek.

The irony of New York City real estate magnate Trump singing the line “Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside,” while clutching a pitchfork and dressed in overalls rather than a Brioni suit elicited a huge laugh from the Shrine Auditorium crowd, and it came as little surprise that the duo earned the most votes from the home viewers.

The evening’s two major tributes included an unexpected appearance by David Letterman, who spoke warmly on behalf of his idol, mentor and friend Johnny Carson, who passed away earlier this year, and Television Academy Chairman Dick Askin was joined by Alan Alda to pay tribute to former nightly news anchors Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, as well as the late Peter Jennings.

Brokaw spoke on behalf of the trio, hailed as "Mt. Rushmore"-like figures in the world of professional journalism, when he expressed great pride in the "next great generation of journalists for covering Katrina so brilliantly for the last three weeks." Based on the standing ovation Brokaw and Rather received, with an image of Jennings looming above them on a video monitor, the reverent audience shared his sentiments.
