Give Her an Emmy Nod!


Does anyone else think that Connie Britton deserves an Emmy nomination for her role on Friday Night Lights?

I completely agree. These three women are fantastic actresses.
If Kristen Bell gets a stellar movie role, I honestly believe she is going to be the next big thing. Lauren Graham took Lorelei, and gave heart and soul to her character. A lesser actress would have destroyed that part and Graham excelled. Connie Britton is the main reason to watch Friday Night Lights for me, why this show isn't huge because of her is beyond me. She takes the role of Tami Taylor and plays it with such pathos that it is incredible. The scenes where she and Julie argue are so reminiscent of when my mother and I fought when I was 15. She completely deserved an Emmy nod for this role.

However, I'm not that surprised the Emmys ignored her because they ignore a lot of fantastic shows. My favorite show of all time (arguably a masterpiece) is "The Wire" and they have NEVER been nominated for anything.

So between no love for the Wire or Connie I have to conclude the Emmys are becoming the new Grammys of awards shows.
