Gilmore Girls Emmy Snub Still Mentioned

As Zap2it notes, Gilmore Girls never got the Emmy love it deserved. We’ve hashed this out before. But still, I’m always really happy to see that the show is remembered in every Emmy season:

“Gilmore Girls”: There weren’t many other shows like it on TV: a hip mom, her teenage daughter/buddy, and a Connecticut town full of characters, all shooting off Amy Sherman-Palladino’s rapid-fire, pop reference-laden dialogue. At some point, you would have thought that Sherman-Palladino, star Lauren Graham, who handled the dialogue and emotions like a pro, or supporting star Kelly Bishop would have at least gotten a nomination. But the show got nominated for only one Emmy in its seven-year run, for makeup. The show did at least get a win for its one and only nod; let’s hope the makeup department lets Graham and Sherman-Palladino come and visit the Emmy every so often.

Let’s hope that Melissa McCarthy and Lauren Graham get some nods for their current work this year!!

Will Lauren Graham Get an Emmy Nod?

Forever denied a nomination for Oustanding Lead Actress for her work on Gilmore Girls, the question remains whether Lauren Graham will receive a nomination in the Drama category for her work on Parenthood.

Hitfix put together a preview of the Emmy’s, guessing that it’s “not gonna happen” for Lauren. Although there is much in her favor, they believe:

“Emmy voters probably never saw the original “Parenthood” pilot, so they won’t appreciate how much better it became. And they obviously didn’t think they owed Graham anything for “Gilmore Girls,” so that’s not an incentive.”

What do you think?

Todd Lowe at HBO Emmy Party

Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig on Gilmore Girls) was seen out last night at the lavish HBO Emmy Awards after party held at the Pacific Design Center Plaza in Los Angeles. I’m not sure if Todd was at the Emmy Awards themselves, to support his series, True Blood.
