If I Ruled The Emmys, 2010 Edition!

Over the last few years, the Emmy Awards [Sunday, NBC, 8/7C] given [in theory] to the best and brightest on television, have been spread among more and more worthy selections and fewer and fewer winners from force of habit. True they may never be able to satisfy everyone, but this, for example, there were maybe a handful of nominations that didn’t seem right [or fair] and only one truly egregious error – at least to my mind.

Most TV critics publish a list of nominations they think should win and one of noms they expect will win. Since I’ve never been able to really settle into the whole prediction mode thing, this year I’m just going to present my opinions of who should win in the major categories – and leave predictions to The Amazing Kreskin. My choices follow the jump.

An in-depth look at CHASE

For those who don’t watch a lot of tv and have been missing previews for the fall season on the NBC network, a new series called Chase begins Monday, September 20th. Chase stars Kelli Giddish, Cole Hauser, Jesse Metcalfe, Amaury Nolasco, and Rose Rollins.
According to http://www.nbc.com/chase/about/index.shtml#credits ”Chase” is a lightning-fast drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. Marshals hunts down America’s most dangerous fugitives.” From what I’ve seen in the previews, that’s a great way to sum up the show. The video below features cast members to give their take on “Chase” and to give viewers a better feel for the show. Personally I think “Chase” will be worth watching but I’ll leave that to you (the reader) to decide. Check out the video below and hope you enjoy:
