Losing to Penguins of Madagascar in 2012
In 7 years of nominations, Family Guy has never won an Emmy for best animated program. In 8 years of nominations, American Dad! has never won an Emmy for best animated program. Weirdly, Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show have never been nominated in the same year. Coincidence….? Yeah, probably. Don’t worry, I will get to the bottom of it.
Anyone who has sat through a Creative Arts Emmys ceremony knows the agony of the five-hour marathon, usually on the hottest day of the year. Covering a mind numbing number (70) of categories, time invariably wasted with B-side presenters reading terrible jokes, it is an unglamorous, all-day affair. When a winner is announced, mammoth countdown clocks that flank the stage start, and the winner has to haul ass down the aisle and run up to the podium before the clock runs out and you’re drowned out by “get off the stage” music. In addition to the dizzying number of categories for reality television programming (once accused of being the downfall of television), there are things like:
Ben Sanders, Phillies pitcher, in the late 1800s.
Today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reviewed the constitutionality of the state’s horrendous new photo ID law. They say a decision will come before the end of the month, probably just after the state’s election registration period ends on October 9th.
The lower court recently upheld the law, signed into law by Cro-Magnon idiot Governor Tom Corbett – whom I have repeatedly harassed by phone since he signed the bill into law, asking whomever answered the phone to explain the law to me. NOT ONCE DID ANYONE KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT THE LAW, which I memorized in about 30 minutes.
