Nominaciones a los Emmy 2010
21 septiembre 2009
Congratulations to Kristin Chenoweth and Pushing Dasies!!!!

The unmentionable channel will finally have realized that it was a mistake to cancel the show because, they OWE 4 out of his 8 awards to Pushing Daisies, yeah, the four Emmy awards belong to Pushing Daisies. Emmy Award could be considered like a competition between the main channels of the USA, and thanks to Pushing Daisies, ABC is in the 3rd place of the most important channels of the country. The rest of the Pushing Daisies awards are the following ones: Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series Emmy, Make-up for a Single-Camera Series Emmy and Outstanding Costumes for a Series Emmy.

The official press note has already been released (you can find it in the official webpage) by the Academy of Arts & Science of Television. It reveals another important fact: Pushing Daisies is the 4th TV show which has won 4 awards. The 4th place is shared with American Idol and the Oscars 2009, which have huge budgets and are two of the most popular TB shows in the country (They are AMAZING). Here is the TOP list:
2.- Grey Garden (6)
3.- 30 Rock (5)
4.- Pushing Daisies (4)
4.- 81st Annual Academy Awards (4)
4.- American Idol (4)
It's a really wonderful achievement because Pushing Daises is cancelled and it only have 22 episodes. Furthermore, ABC haven't broadcasted the final episode (yet)! We all agree with Pushing Daises have been treated in a quite bad and unfair way. In addition, considering the influence of the main channels in the Emmy Awards, it has been almost impossible to be nominated to the rest of main categories because it's cancelled. I'd like to remind you as well that this is the second nomination of Kristin and Lee Pace was nominated last year for the Lead Actor Emmy.
Our itty bitty (who was gorgeous last night) has beaten actresses from SNL, Ugly Betty and Weeds. You can see her speech above here. She joked: "I'm unemployed now so I'd like to be on 'Mad Men'. I also like 'The Office' and '24' ". She also thanked, with tears in her eyes, to the whole cast (Ellen, Swoosie, Anna, Lee, Chi...) and Bryan Fuller. She also thanked to the Academy for giving these awards to a cancelled show. Actually, I think the 4 awards are like an announcement of the Academy, maybe because they don't agree with the ABC decision or they just recognize the greatness of Pushing Daisies.
Definitely, it looks like an ending. But these awards just confirm what it though of the first time I was watching Pushing Daisies: "IT'S THE BEST SHOW EVER". And of course, there will never be another Pushing Daisies. Thank you a lot for everything... :'(
¡¡¡Enhorabuena Kristin y Pushing Daisies!!!

Pushing Daisies nominada a 5 Emmy's
Pushing Daisies, la serie más injustamente cancelada y maltratada de la historia de la televisión, está nominada a 5 premios Emmy's entre los cuales se encuentra la merecidísima nominación de Kristin Chenoweth (Olive) como Mejor Actriz Secundaria de Comedia. Las demás nominaciones no son tan importantes como ésta, pero ayudan a confirmar que la cancelación de la serie ha sido una completa equivocación y que es capaz de competir con series de auténtico éxito en la televisión estadounidense aún sin contar con grandes presupuestos y apoyo de su canal. Las cuatro nominaciones restantes destacan el mundo creado por Bryan Fuller que tanto nos ha hechizado como son la nominación a mejor dirección artística ("for a single-camera series"), mejor vestuario, mejor maquillaje y mejor peluquería. Aquí os dejo las nominaciones de Pushing Daisies:
Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series
Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook (Pushing Daisies)
Elizabeth Perkins, as Celia Hodes (Weeds)
Vanessa Williams, as Wilhelmina Slater (Ugly Betty)
Jane Krakowski, as Jenna Maroney (30 Rock)
Amy Poehler, as Various Characters (Saturday Nigth Live)
Kristin Wiig, as Various Characters (Saturday Night Live)
De esta categoría quería destacar que Kristin tiene duras competidoras porque entre ellas se encuentran la serie revelación de la temporada Weeds, un clásico de los Emmys como es Ugly Betty (aunque la actriz nominada, bajo mi punto de vista, no tiene nada que hacer contra nuestra Olive). Del resto de nominadas decir que no conozco la serie 30 Rock y que me sigue sorprendiendo que incluyan a las actrices de SNL en esta categoría de series (supongo que no habrá otra categoría para programas de comedia...)
Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-Camera Series
“Dim Sum Lose Some”
Michael Wylie, Production Designer
Ken Creber, Art Director
Halina Siwolop, Set Decorator
Esta categoría la veo más difícil de ganar puesto que competimos contra True Blood, Bones, Heroes, The Tudors y Mad Men.
Outstanding Costumes For A Series
“Bzzzzzzzzz!”
Robert Blackman, Costume Designer
Carol Kunz, Costume Supervisor
Hay que decir que en la categoría de mejor vestuario está nominada junto con The Tudors (que está ambientada en la época de Enrique VIII y Ana Bolena) y con The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, serie que conozco por que me he tenido que leer uno de los libros para las clases de inglés y la verdad es que me gustó el capítulo que he visto.
Outstanding Hairstyling For A Single-Camera Series
“Dim Sum Lose Some”
Daniel Curet, Department Head Hairstylist
Yuko Tokunaga Koach, Key Hairstylist
Gloria Conrad, Additional Hairstylist
Elizabeth Rabe, Additional Hairstylist
Aquí volvemos a estar nominados junto a The Tudors (he de admitir que lo que más llama la atención de esta serie son los decorados, vestuarios y peinados). Asimismo, también junto a Mad Men, Tracey Ullman's State Of The Union y Mujeres Desesperadas (también de la cadena ABC).
Outstanding Makeup For A Single-Camera Series
“Dim Sum Lose Some”
Todd A. McIntosh, Department Head Makeup Artist
David Martin DeLeon, Key Makeup Artist
Steven Anderson, Additional Makeup Artist
