<p>Enough is enough. One of the big jokes at last night's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1670931/emmys-modern-family-mad-men.jhtml" target="_blank">Emmy Awards</a> came at the expense of British "Office" star Ricky Gervais. Gervais was <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1656071/ricky-gervais-golden-globes.jhtml" target="_blank">famously rough on some of Hollywood's biggest stars</a> when he hosted this year's Golden Globes and has been getting shamed for it ever since.</p>
<p>Gervais introduced the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category with a pre-taped, heavily (and purposefully) edited segment that made light of the controversy that followed his Globes hosting gig – which reportedly got Gervais banned from hosting duties at the Globes indefinitely. Afterward, Emmy host Jane Lynch added, "Poor little Ricky Gervais. Someone didn't get enough hugs from mommy and somehow it's Hollywood's fault."</p>
<p>Jeez! Is it just us, or is all the hate Gervais has received since the Globes pretty ridiculous? Sure, his jokes were cutting, but at least they were funny (something Lynch and the Emmys mostly missed out on being), and the fact that Hollywood just can't move on only hits home that, as a community, Hollywood has no sense of humor about itself whatsoever.</p>
<p>This isn't a surprise, of course – Hollywood is notoriously thin-skinned – but it's also kind of exhausting because, well, <em>nobody</em> really cares that Ricky Gervais made fun of Robert Downey Jr. and Angelina Jolie nearly nine months ago. No one except awards show writers, that is, and they just will not let it go. <span id="more-52695"></span></p>
<p>The ongoing Gervais hate can be broadly categorized thusly: What people in the media think is interesting doesn't always line up with what people outside of the media think is funny. So while Hollywood is still smarting from a couple of ice cold digs, everyone else has moved on, and so the joke fell flat.</p>
<p>We watched the Globes in January closely for work and thought Gervais was pretty funny. It was his job to rib these big shots – people who are paid <em>millions</em> of dollars for a couple of months of work – and he did just that. We're sorry, but we simply don't have the time to feel bad for a room full of pampered millionaires in dresses and suits that cost more than we make in a year when a comic known for being acerbic goes for the jugular, and we're bored that everyone is still talking about it like Gervais committed some crime against humanity by making fun of movie stars. He didn't. Now can we all please move on?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://newsroom.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/winslet.jpg" alt="Kate Winslet" class="thumbnailmain"> </p>
<p>Last night, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/166088/personmain.jhtml" target="_blank">Kate Winslet</a> won the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1670931/emmys-modern-family-mad-men.jhtml" target="_blank">Emmy</a> for Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Made for Television Movie for her riveting turn in HBO's "Mildred Pierce." When the actress's name was called, she leapt out of her seat, jumped around, ran up and down the aisle hugging costar Evan Rachel Wood and director Todd Haynes ("Far From Heaven") and took the stage claiming she was certain that she and her acclaimed miniseries wouldn't win anything.</p>
<p>You'd think she'd never won anything before.</p>
<p>As usual, Winslet was adorable on stage, she was excited and <em>seemed</em> truly surprised by her win. But watching the deserving actress claim her prize, we couldn't help but think of another awards darling who takes home the gold just about every times she's nominated but <em>just can't believe</em> anyone would ever show her a little love. We're talking, of course, about <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/swift__taylor/artist.jhtml" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a>.</p>
<p>Somebody needs to get Kate the Great and Taylor a fainting couch, because they simply can't believe anyone would give them an award for anything – you know, despite the many, <em>many</em> awards they've taken home in the past. We're not mocking Winslet or Swift; both seem genuinely surprised (though, it's worth noting that Kate Winslet is <em>quite</em> the actress – that's why she picks up so much hardware) at all the praise, and even if some of the vapors the starlets conjure are for show, they are certainly thankful for the recognition. <strong>After the jump, check out some video of Swift being surprised <em>every</em> time her name is called.</strong> <span id="more-52685"></span></p>
<div style="background-color:#000000;width:520px;">
<div style="padding:4px;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:597878/cp~vid%3D597878%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A597878" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed>

</div>
</div>
<p>Winslet's Emmy win was a particularly big moment for the actress. The award puts her one step closer to joining the rarified EGOT society of performers who've captured all of the top acting prizes – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. The "Contagion" actress now only has to win a Tony to join the club. She earned an Oscar for 2008's "The Reader" and a Grammy in 2000 for Best Spoken Word Album for Children for <em>Listen To the Storyteller</em>.</p>

<p><strong>TV's biggest night is almost here!</strong></p>
<p>On Sunday night, the biggest stars in TV will gather at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre for the 2011 Emmy Awards. Music and movies are more our beat here in the <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/" target="_blank">MTV Newsroom</a>, but just like everyone else, we <em>love</em> TV. So it's with great pleasure that we bring you our predictions for who will take home television's top honors at this year's show.</p>
<p>We decided we'd have a little fun with our guesses this year and asked our brothers (and sister!) in blogging to help us out so we could arrive at a Newsroom consensus for who we think will take home awards in the top categories.  We also decided to bring you all into the fun with two polls – Best Comedy Series and Best Drama Series – to test your TV acumen. <strong>Check back Monday morning to see how you (and we) did!</strong></p>
<p>Welcome <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/" target="_blank">MTV Movies Blog</a> editor Josh Wigler, <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/" target="_blank">Hollywood Crush</a> editor Amy Wilkinson and <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/" target="_blank">Multiplayer Blog</a> editor Russ Frushtick to the conversation. They've made their picks and so have I, so let's check out the MTV Newsroom predictions for this year's Emmys and be sure to vote in our Emmy polls, <strong>after the jump</strong>! <span id="more-52668"></span></p>
<p><strong>Best Series, Drama</strong><br />
<strong>Nominees:</strong><br />
"Boardwalk Empire"<br />
"Dexter"<br />
"Friday Night Lights"<br />
"Mad Men"<br />
"Game of Thrones"<br />
"The Good Wife" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: "Boardwalk Empire"<br />
Wilkinson: "The Good Wife"<br />
Frushtick: "Boardwalk Empire"<br />
Mitchell: "Mad Men." Every show on this list, except "Dexter," deserves this prize more than "Mad Men," but Emmy voters love the show unconditionally. "The Good Wife" is a steady hit, but is only now starting to have the swagger needed to triumph, so maybe next year. "Boardwalk" was ambitious but uneven. Ditto "Game of Thrones." "Friday Night Lights" ended its run with a near-perfect season. "FNL" should win, but "Men" will.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: "Boardwalk Empire"</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Series, Comedy<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
"The Big Bang Theory"<br />
"30 Rock"<br />
"Glee"<br />
"The Office"<br />
"Modern Family"<br />
"Parks and Recreation" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: "30 Rock"<br />
Wilkinson: "Modern Family"<br />
Frushtick: "Parks and Recreation"<br />
Mitchell: "Parks and Recreation." "Parks" really came into its own last season, learning how to balance sincerity and weirdness perfectly. "Family" could sweep in for a repeat win, but with Amy Poehler a near lock for the Best Actress in a Comedy prize and esteem and ratings running higher than ever for "Parks," I think it will deservedly take the gold.   </p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: "Parks and Recreation"</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Actor, Drama<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Steve Buscemi, "Boardwalk Empire"<br />
Michael C. Hall,"Dexter"<br />
Hugh Laurie, "House"<br />
Jon Hamm, "Mad Men"<br />
Kyle Chandler, "Friday Night Lights"<br />
Timothy Olyphant, "Justified"</p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Jon Hamm. Certainly not the greatest season of "Mad Men," but perhaps the greatest season of "Mad Men" for Jon Hamm. And there’s no Walter White in sight? Yeah, Draper’s got this.<br />
Wilkinson: Steve Buscemi<br />
Frushtick: Jon Hamm<br />
Mitchell: Jon Hamm. With Bryan Cranston("Breaking Bad") out of contention this season, the Emmys finally get the chance to honor Hamm and they will take it.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick:  Jon Hamm</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Actress, Drama<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Connie Britton, "Friday Night Lights"<br />
Elisabeth Moss, "Mad Men"<br />
Mariska Hargitay, "Law &#038; Order: SVU"<br />
Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife"<br />
Mireille Enos "The Killing"<br />
Kathy Bates, "Harry's Law" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Elisabeth Moss<br />
Wilkinson: Julianna Marguiles<br />
Frushtick: Elisabeth Moss<br />
Mitchell: Julianna Marguiles. A much-loved TV vet starring in a show many regard as the best drama on network TV. This is Margulies' to lose.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick:  Tie. Elisabeth Moss and Julianna Marguiles. In the event of a tie, I decide and so we go with my choice – Julianna Marguiles.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Actor, Comedy<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"<br />
Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory"<br />
Steve Carell, "The Office"<br />
Louis C.K., "Louie"<br />
Johnny Galecki, "The Big Bang Theory"<br />
Matt LeBlanc, "Episodes"</p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Steve Carell<br />
Wilkinson:  Steve Carell<br />
Frushtick: Louis C.K.<br />
Mitchell: Steve Carell. Carell's departure from "The Office" almost guarantees a win, but if there was any justice in the world, Louis C.K. would have this in the bag. Simultaneously funny and touching, "Louie" is great TV.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick:  Steve Carell</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Actress, Comedy<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Tina Fey, "30 Rock"<br />
Laura Linney, "The Big C"<br />
Amy Poehler, "Parks and Recreation"<br />
Edie Falco, "Nurse Jackie"<br />
Martha Plimpton, "Raising Hope"<br />
Melissa McCarthy, "Mike &#038; Molly" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Amy Poehler<br />
Wilkinson: Tina Fey. I nearly selected Melissa McCarthy for this category until I remembered she wasn't nominated for "Bridesmaids" but for the CBS laugher "Mike and Molly." Does anyone actually watch that show?<br />
Frushtick: Amy Poehler<br />
Mitchell: Amy Poehler. Poehler's turn on "Rec" has evolved into one of the most complex and satisfying performances on television – comedy, drama, movie or miniseries.  She's the best and this is hers.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: Amy Poehler</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Supporting Actor, Drama Series<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Andre Braugher, "Men of a Certain Age"<br />
Walton Goggins, "Justified"<br />
Josh Charles, "The Good Wife"<br />
John Slattery, "Mad Men"<br />
Alan Cumming, "The Good Wife"<br />
Peter Dinklage, "Game of Thrones" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Peter Dinklage. This will be "Game of Thrones" big category win, and the beginning of The Dink’s Cranston-inspired sweep of the Best Supporting Actor field for the years to come.<br />
Wilkinson: Peter Dinklage<br />
Frushtick: Walton Goggins<br />
Mitchell: Peter Dinklage</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: Peter Dinklage</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Supporting Actress, Drama Series<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Kelly Macdonald, "Boardwalk Empire"<br />
Christine Baranski, "The Good Wife"<br />
Archie Panjabi, "The Good Wife"<br />
Michelle Forbes, "The Killing"<br />
Christina Hendricks, "Mad Men"<br />
Margo Martindale, "Justified"</p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Michelle Forbes<br />
Wilkinson: Michelle Forbes<br />
Frushtick: Margo Martindale. The nomination I feel most strongly about. Margo Martindale’s turn as Mags Bennett, the head of a crime family in the backwoods of Kentucky, was one of the most powerful, twisted characters I’ve ever seen on TV. Martindale’s subtle, understated performance is a real underdog for the category, but man, she deserves it.<br />
Mitchell: Kelly Macdonald. Voters won't ignore "Boardwalk Empire," but I don't see it taking Drama Series or Best Actor, that means its wins will likely come in the supporting categories – hence my votes for Dinklage and Macdonald. </p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: Michelle Forbes</strong> </p>
<p><strong>Best Supporting Actor, Comedy Series<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Eric Stonestreet, "Modern Family"<br />
Chris Colfer, "Glee"<br />
Jon Cryer, "Two And A Half Men"<br />
Ty Burrell, "Modern Family"<br />
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, "Modern Family"<br />
Ed O'Neill, "Modern Family" </p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Jon Cryer<br />
Wilkinson: Ty Burrell. A true Sophie's Choice, Best Supporting Actor, Comedy Series is one of the toughest calls for me. I mean, every adult "Modern Family" actor with XY chromosomes is nominated here as is sentimental favorite Chris Colfer. In the end, I chose the "MF" actor who makes me chuckle most. Hopefully Emmy voters agree.<br />
Frushtick: Ty Burrell<br />
Mitchell: Ed O'Neill. Awards voters, in general, love giving prizes to popular veteran performers who have been overlooked in the past. O'Neill falls squarely in that category and he also did some pretty strong, understated work on "Family" – a great show not known for being understated – this year.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: Ty Burrell</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best Supporting Actress, Comedy Series<br />
Nominees:</strong><br />
Jane Lynch, "Glee"<br />
Kristen Wiig, "Saturday Night Live"<br />
Sofia Vergara, "Modern Family"<br />
Jane Krakowski, "30 Rock"<br />
Julie Bowen, "Modern Family"<br />
Betty White, "Hot in Cleveland"</p>
<p><strong>Editor Picks:</strong><br />
Wigler: Jane Lynch<br />
Wilkinson: Betty White. How can you not?<br />
Frushtick: Jane Krakowski<br />
Mitchell: Jane Krakowski. She's a long shot, but doesn't this entire category feel like it's full of long shots. I don't expect "30 Rock" to get much love this year, but Emmy voters love the show, and Krakowski is a much-respected theater vet with plenty of TV credits who doesn't get the mainstream awards show recognition she deserves. New York Magazine also celebrated her on its Approval Matrix for her ballsy commitment to her <em>way</em> out there character. We hope she takes this, but it's really anyone's game.</p>
<p><strong>Newsroom Pick: Jane Krakowski</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/m/mannequin/140x105.jpg" alt="'Mannequin'" class="thumbnailmain" />Watching last night's Emmy Awards telecast was a painful experience. When I wasn't wincing at the five hosts' "banter" or questioning my sobriety during a Josh Groban medley, I was rolling my eyes every time a Z-list presenter bitched about their bit being cut for time. (Hey, crazy old lady from "Desperate Housewives," nobody doubts that you can deliver a Bruce Vilanch punch line. Get over yourself!)</p>
<p>But nothing got my goat more than the Macy's ad, made up of movie and TV clips that took place in the iconic retail chain, that ran during the show. In the midst of "I Love Lucy" shout-outs and the obvious "Miracle at 34th Street" moment, there was a shot of Andrew McCarthy and Estelle Getty walking through a grand retail palace, "Baywatch" slo-mo style. (Thankfully, neither of them was in a red swimsuit.)</p>
<p>But the classic McCarthy/Getty collaboration was from the brilliant 1987 rom-com "Mannequin," a movie that took place at a fictional shop called "Prince and Company" and was shot in the Philadelphia department store, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker's" target="_blank">Wanamaker's</a>! <span id="more-3716"></span></p>
<p>Don't believe me? Check out this clip from a featurette found on the "Mannequin" electronic press kit, in which very smug production designers describe how they discovered the perfect location for the "Citizen Kane" of the '80s. (Side note: I've had the electronic press kits of both "Mannequin" and "Mannequin 2: On the Move" at my desk for three years. Finally, my secret treasure trove comes in handy!)</p>
<p><center><br />
<p><a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/09/22/macys-mannequin-lie-disturbs-one-emmy-viewer/"><img src="http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:278263?height=288&width=512" alt=""/></a></p>
</center></p>
<p>Purists out there will say, "But Jim, Hecht bought over Wanamaker's in the mid-'90s, and eventually morphed into Macy's. Get a life, Cantiello!" But I say including "Mannequin" in a Macy's montage is an unfair technicality. When Jonathan and Emmy fell in love while lipsynching to Starship's (Oscar-nominated!) "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," they did so in Wanamaker's, <i>not</i> Macy's. </p>
<p>Taking things a step further, I imagine Macy's probably refused to lend their name to the film back in the '80s, which is perhaps why it took place at a fictional store. Is it fair for Macy's to reclaim it decades later? Any "Mannequin" producers want to write in and confirm that for me? Also, any "Mannequin" producers want to be my friend? Your movie changed my life. I'd be honored to take you out to dinner, provided you share some awesome <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/G.W._Bailey.jpg/453px-G.W._Bailey.jpg" target="_blank">G.W. Bailey</a> gossip.</p>
<p>PS: Any excuse to include my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeTqHlkdfgA" target="_blank">Estelle Getty workout video remix</a> on a blog post is a good one. RIP, Estelle!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/n/newsroom_blog/emmy_noms/211x281.jpg" align="right" alt="" title="Emmy" /></a>Every time Emmy nominations are announced, you hear about the snubs. You know, who <I>should</I> have made the list but got cut instead. So we decided it was time to take control of the Emmy nods, which were announced earlier today (<a href="http://cdn.emmys.tv/awards/2008pte/60thpte_noms.php" target="_blank">check out all the nominees here</a>).</p>
<p>Not that we can actually take control, but we like to imagine we can. So if it were up to MTV News, who would be in the running? And what about loosening up some of the categories a bit and adding some extra awards? We polled ourselves, and here are our choices for the standard categories and some new ones:</p>
<p><big><b>Reality</b></big></p>
<p>We agree that "American Idol" and "Project Runway" are worthy, but what about <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/dance_crew_season_1/series.jhtml">"America's Best Dance Crew"</a>? Or <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_paper/series.jhtml">"The Paper"</a>?</p>
<p><b>Best Reality Host</b>: Mario Lopez ("America's Best Dance Crew"), Cat Deeley ("So You Think You Can Dance") and Tim Gunn ("Tim Gunn's Guide to Style")</p>
<p><b>Best WTF Moment in Reality</b>: Spencer turns the apartment into a graffiti-covered arcade on <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_hills/series.jhtml">"The Hills"</a>; Tila Tequila is passed around in the hot tub by the final contestants' parents and stepparents; and Chris makes clothes out of human hair on "Project Runway"</p>
<p><b>Best Reality Fight</b>: Dale vs. Lisa vs. Spike vs. Antonia vs. Jen on "Top Chef"</p>
<p><b>Least Necessary Comeback of a Reality Character</b>: Janelle (<a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/realworld-season20/series.jhtml">"Real World: Hollywood"</a>)</p>
<p><b>Best Offscreen Performance By a Reality Star</b>: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson ("Ultimate Fighter"). <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/07/17/rampage-2-psychiatric-boogaloo-ufc-fighter-arrested-again/">Two run-ins with police in 24 hours</a> this week gave him a late surge at the polls, allowing him to overtake David Hasselhoff, Danny Bonaduce and both Coreys.<br />
<span id="more-1413"></span><br />
<big><b>Comedy</b></big></p>
<p>We agree that "30 Rock" and "The Office" are great shows, but we'd also like to see "Californication," "Pushing Daisies," "Weeds" and "Flight of the Conchords" get a fair shot. As for individuals, we would nominate the following actors and actresses for an Emmy:</p>
<p><b>Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series</b>: Adrien Grenier in "Entourage," Josh Radnor in "How I Met Your Mother" and David Duchovny in "Californication"</p>
<p><b>Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series</b>: Sarah Silverman in "The Sarah Silverman Program," Miley Cyrus in "Hannah Montana" and Anna Friel in "Pushing Daisies"</p>
<p><b>Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series</b>: John Krasinksi in "The Office," Tracy Morgan in "30 Rock," Jack McBrayer in "30 Rock" and Chi McBride in "Pushing Daisies"</p>
<p><b>Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series</b>: Sarah Chalke in "Scrubs"/ "How I Met Your Mother," Jenna Fischer in "The Office," Jaime Pressly in "My Name Is Earl," Cheryl Hines in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Wanda Sykes in "The New Adventures of Old Christine"</p>
<p><b>Best Guest Actor/Actress in a Comedy Series</b>: <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/spears_britney/artist.jhtml">Britney Spears</a> in "How I Met Your Mother," Mary-Kate Olsen in "Weeds," Vivica A. Fox in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Anna Faris in "Entourage"</p>
<p><b>Best WTF Moment in Comedy</b>: The crew sings "Day Man" on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and Tyra Banks turns into a lizard on a "Family Guy" spoof of "America's Next Top Model"</p>
<p><big><b>Drama</b></big></p>
<p>Yes, "Lost" deserves a lot of Emmy love, but what about "The Wire"? Especially considering this is the last time we'd get to honor that show. Or "Heroes," "Friday Night Lights," "Breaking Bad" and "Battlestar Galactica" &#8212; you know, shows we actually <I>watch</I>? As for individuals, we would have nominated the following actors and actresses for an Emmy:</p>
<p><b>Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series</b>: Matthew Fox in "Lost," Kyle Chandler in "Friday Night Lights" and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in "The Tudors"</p>
<p><b>Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series</b>: Leighton Meester in "Gossip Girl," Evangeline Lily in "Lost," Chlo&#235; Sevigny in "Big Love" and Minnie Driver in "The Riches"</p>
<p><b>Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series</b>: Masi Oka in "Heroes," Andre Royo in "The Wire" and Naveen Andrews and Jorge Garcia in "Lost"</p>
<p><b>Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series</b>: Yunjim Kim in "Lost," Lisa Edelstein in "House," Connie Britton in "Friday Night Lights," Rose Byrne in "Damages" and Summer Glau in "Terminator: The Sarah Conor Chronicles"</p>
<p><b>Best Guest Actor/Actress in a Drama Series</b>: Keith Carradine in "Dexter" and Aidan Quinn in "Law &#038; Order: Special Victims Unit"</p>
<p><b>Best WTF Moment in Drama</b>: Serena says she killed someone on "Gossip Girl"; the island disappears on "Lost"; and Omar is shot in the head on "The Wire"</p>
<p><b>Best Drama Character Who Kicked the Bucket</b>: Omar (Michael K. Williams) on "The Wire," Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Anna Friel) on "Pushing Daisies" and Amber (Anne Dudek) on "House"</p>
<p><b>Least Necessary Comeback of a Drama Character</b>: Michael (Harold Perrieneau) on "Lost".</p>
<p><big><b>Miscellaneous</b></big></p>
<p>Here are a few more ideas we came up with that are beyond categorization:</p>
<p><b>Best Villain</b>: Sylar (Zachary Quinto) on "Heroes" and Blair (Leighton Meester) on "Gossip Girl"</p>
<p><b>Best Canceled Show</b>: "The Wire"</p>
<p><b>Best Foreign Show</b>: "Skins"</p>
<p><b>Best "Everything You Know Is Wrong" Show</b>: "Penn &#038; Teller: Bullsh--!"</p>
<p><b>Best Guilty Pleasure</b>: "The Hills"</p>
<p><b>Special Achievement in the Usage of TXT Language That Confirmed the Downfall of Mankind (Short Form)</b>: "Gossip Girl." Srsly. WTF.</p>
