Although I didn’t see half of these movies, OK maybe none of these movies, I’m very excited about the television nominations. Ugly Betty and The Office are my favorites for comedy….and while looking at the drama nominations I couldn’t help but to notice those saggy bastards failed to include HBO’s groundbreaking hit “The Wire” ….What’s up with that? (sigh) therefore… I hearby boycott the drama portion of the show..humph.
