Emmy Awards: Outstanding Casting Awards - Comedy, Drama, & Miniseries or TV Movie

Casting Awards for the Emmys

Rather than do a separate list for each one of these I will say that I’m rooting for the shows that I am most likely to watch. For comedy series I have to give it to Weeds though Ugly Betty is a good choice, as well. For Drama I am hoping for The Tudors though Grey’s or Brothers & Sisters wouldn’t be bad choices, either. Finally for the Casting for a Miniseries your guess would be as good as mine because I haven’t seen any of these.

Thoughts: What can I say? Ugly Betty got another award so I am happy. I was surprised about Friday Night Lights, but it’s something that I have only watched a couple of times. It seemed like a good show though.
