The Bauers

Posted by Maggie July 7th, 2006 at 10:02am In All Things TV

I decided to make my own list of nominations, because the more I thought about the actual Emmy nominations the more I felt like banging my head against a wall, or writing a strongly-worded letter, or finding a new hobby (gasp!). These are the people that make the decisions about what shows air and what shows fail, and they think we were really pulling for a Kevin James upset?

Anyway, I named my awards the Bauers after Cristin's awesome phrase "he's the Jack Bauer of [blank]." In this case, it would be "he's the Jack Bauer of acting in a drama" or "it's the Jack Bauer of funny television shows."

The nominees and some totally hot pictures after the jump!

(I fudged things a little because I didn't want to include supporting this and supporting that, so some people who should probably be supporting are listed here anyway [e.g., Neil Patrick Harris]. I encourage everyone to share their opinions or make their own lists.)
