It's Emmy Day!
Ten People Who Should Have an Emmy
1. Matthew Fox
Lost was full of amazing performances, but his was often overlooked. He was brilliant in this role because the character was so complex and fucked up. I am still filled with rage over the way the show ended but even more that he didn't even get a nomination for the last season.
Click to view2. Brad Dourif
He was absolutely fucking beyond brilliant as Doc Cochrane, one of the few voices of both morality and pragmatism in the entire Deadwood camp. Never even got a fucking nomination.
3. Jane Kaczmarek
She had to watch Patricia Heaton take home trophy after trophy and that is just not right. And to compound the indignity, I couldn't even find a good YouTube clip.
4. Robin Weigert
Oh, Jane will just break your heart. So hostile and sweet and brave and pathetic and hilarious and utterly fucked up.
5. Neal Patrick Harris
For the love of GOD.
6. Richard Sanders
Oh, my god, the sheer genius of Richard Sanders as the sycophantic hotel owner, EB Farnum.
7. Paul Reiser
Alas, Mad About You was in those hazy more-than-five-years-ago days before YouTube. Couldn't find anything good enough. But Helen Hunt took home Emmy after Emmy and the guy who was right there with her in every scene and who actually wrote the show, never got one.
8. Timothy Olyphant
The size of the stick up this man's ass should have rendered his character completely two-dimensional and dull. But it didn't.
9. Richard Schiff
Screw Jed Bartlett. Toby Ziegler is who I want running the country.

10. Ian Fucking McShane
Please? Can we just retroactively give this man an Emmy?
YouTube codes are tricky. Argh.
