IN HER SHOES
***c. FRANCES McDORMAND

e. MY NAME IS EARL (NBC)
Acme Prods. i.a.w. 20th Century Fox Television
f. WEEDS (SHOWTIME)
Lions Gate Television i.a.w. Tilted Prods.
I wish Scrubs, Arrested Development, and King of Queens would have made the list. I was torn between Earl and Everybody Hates Chris. But I choose Everybody Hates Chris because I think the acting is much better.

e. CHARLIE SHEEN WHY?
TWO AND A HALF MEN
Sheen's acting on Two and a Half Men is so bad and Sheen-esque I can't believe he was nominated and Jason Bateman wasn't. BOO!
I was torn between Carrell and Jason Lee. Carrell's performance is so good it makes me uneasy and enthralled at the same time. But Jason Lee's Earl warms my heart. The mustache alone should get him the win.

c. LACKAWANNA BLUES (HBO)
d. SLEEPER CELL (SHOWTIME)

I haven't seen any of the movies nominated for best motion picture. And pretty much all the actresses from Desperate Housewives were nominated? Eh, I'm not as into that show as I used to be. This season is boring to me for some reason. I love Lost! I hope it wins Best Television Series.
