Well, I called most of the acting awards, and I knew "Door to Door" would clean-up on the TV movie side.

ACTOR, COMEDY: Tony Shalhoub
ACTRESS, COMEDY: Debra Messing
ACTOR, DRAMA: James Gandolfini
ACTRESS, DRAMA: Edie Falco
SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY: Brad Garrett
SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY: Doris Roberts
SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA: Joe Pantoliano
SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA: Tyne Daly

Got seven of those eight. For anybody who saw "The Sopranos" this season, it wasn't hard to figure those three perfromers were gonna walk away with awards this year. The final episode was some powerhouse stuff, the best acting Falco has done yet, the arc her character has been building to for all these years. And Joey Pants' exit will live in the annals of television infamy forever.


BEST COMEDY: "Everybody Loves Raymond"
BEST DRAMA: "The West Wing"


Those were the big ten awards. "The West Wing" winning again was a little bit of a surprise, after Sorkin left and the show was generally considered to be off overall in quality (through probably saved by its finale), but otherwise a pretty standard affair.

I quit watcihng the EMMY's a few years ago. There's no surprise who's gonna win anymore. It basically revolves around the same few shows year after year.

Nice call on Tony Shaloub, Holden. I thought that was a real tough category.
