Where is Tim Allen? Is he doing anything? I feel like he could still be viable in hollywood, in TV at the very least, yet he's nowhere to be found. He was doing a lot of voiceover work for a while and I was like, good for you, that's cool, but he should be in front of the camera more often I say

I'm more surprised there's no been outrage over everyone's favourite Orphan not being nominated for the amazing talent of being able to act multiple characters at an acceptable level of talent.

Seems to me that it's more common for people to get upset over the idea that other people dare to enjoy a pretty good actress in a pretty good show.

I like Hannibal. :smithicide:

And Occupation is entitled to his own opinion. It might not represent the majority, doubly so with his fondness of "The Leftovers," but he is entitled to it nonetheless. However, his argument against Hannibal makes little sense. He should be making the comparison that if pornography, which is an extreme version of the beauty of human sexuality, can not be considered artistic, then Hannibal which offers gratuitous violence as its mode of entertainment should not bear artistic value either.

But this, of course, probes the inner meaning of the show: what constitutes art? Hannibal doesn't demonstrate his artistic ability through these violent acts. He chooses his victim carefully, a person he values less than dirt. He kills this person, like he kills every person, without emotion, apathetic to his victim's past. And he recreates him. He envisions himself as God; he is an artist recreating this terrible carbon form into a flawless diamond for all to admire. It's not the violent act itself that's artistic, no matter how great the cinematography may be. It's the end product. The dish and the crime scene.

He's invited to every crime scene where he inspects his own work and the work of others like a jeweler authenticates a gem. He is no serial killer, he's an artisan. He understands that humans are truly free to do whatever they want, whether it is to kill or create. And Hannibal blends the polar opposites of beauty and morbidity, as only a truly free man can.

Just like Tim Allen.

How can Big Bang theory and Modern Family be nominated together with Silicon Valley, Veep, 'Louis' and OitnB?

The latter of those shows are so vastly superior to the first two, it's not even funny. If Modern Family wins again that's just more proof that those award shows are bullshit.

Yeah, Modern Family is usually pretty funny so I don't know what you're talking about. I like Modern Family more than Silicon Valley and Veep, never seen OitnB all the way through. And Louie has been getting less and less funny...not less good, mind you, just less funny

It's not the funniest show category though. Isn't the point of the awards to actually reward the best show in each category? While Orange and Louie aren't pure comedies I think they are much better shows than both Modern Family and Big Bang theory.

I liked Modern Family when it started, but I really think it has been becoming pretty boring over the last seasons.

It's not worth it to actually get angry about, in my opinion, undeserving shows to get nominated or even winning, but I still rolled my eyes when i see it.

Even if it's hard to pick out favorites among the cast, the show itself should have gotten a nod- it's one of the best and most assured first seasons I've ever seen for a comedy.

Of course there are other problems (not even a technical nod for Hannibal.)

That was cool for sure, a nice surprise. Kyle Chandler deserved it.

I Ido hope Jon Hamm eventually gets an Emmy for playing Don Draper even if the show isn't as strong as earlier seasons.

It's a bit of an always a bridesmaid situation; it kind of sucks for him that Cranston was so reliably stupendous.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cranston lost out to McConaughey this year. Lead actor is kinda stacked this year in his favour.

I guess Jon Hamm is kinda happy Mad Men doesn't formally end this year.
