The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,
Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.
Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.
So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Sex and the City Cast Visits Oprah
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
As FilmCrunch earlier reported, the ladies of Sex and the City will be making several stops to promote their upcoming movie. Now we know of one more visit on their lengthy itineraries: Oprah.
Come this Thursday (May 1), all four ladies - Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon - and Chris Noth will be gabbing with the talk show queen. That date will, of course, kick off a month filled with appearances for the May 30th premiere.
Will Oprah dare question Cattrall and Parker about the rumored discord between them? Or will the hour be all about shoes and fashion? Who cares? It’s not like I won’t be watching anyway.

‘Sex And The City’ Movie Buzz
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, HBO, Gossip, Rumors,
I know that speculation about a Sex And The City movie has been brewing for some time now—but I’ve done my best to ignore all the chatter. The last time plans were squashed (reportedly thanks to Kim Cattrall’s financial demands), I put all my hopes to rest. So when the rumors recently started up again, I listened with skepticism.
And while anything could change at the drop of a hat, TVGuide.com is now reporting that production is imminent. New Line Cinema is apparently in final distribution talks with HBO. A formal announcement could be made as early as next week with filming to being in mid-September.
I’m ecstatic at the prospect of seeing my beloved ladies once again—but I’m also bit nervous. Will this show really translate well to the big screen? (We all know how the film versions of Twin Peaks and The X-Files fared). Is a made-for-HBO version the better option?
And what about the storylines? Are we better off pretending that Carrie and Mr. Big live happily-ever-after? And then there’s Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. They were all pretty happy with their respective love lives as well. If someone has to carry on with the SATC tradition, does that mean that one of these ladies will be off hopping into bed with someone else soon?
Regardless of how it all ends, I will be there on opening night…cosmopolitan in hand.
