Project Runway Australia: The toilets may flush the other way, but the gays are just as sassy.

Get out your vegemite and get into your finest kangaroo-skin boots — it’s time for Project Runway Australia. Airing on Arena (the Aussie Bravo), the show has its own variations on Heidi, Tim Gunn and the gang. Here’s a teaser (note: I just realized that John posted this earlier in the day. Whatever.  You’ll watch it again and you’ll like it!):[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/9IN4p59Jkrc" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Now I’m not sure if there’s any kosher way to watch this show (although you don’t have to be too crafty to figure out how to watch it on the old computer), but I’m sure I’ll make an effort to tune in. Wink, wink.

I’ll keep you posted on how things develop — perhaps there may be some recapping in the future. Don’t hold me to that.

When there’s nothing else to talk about, talk about the Emmys

It’s Emmy season! And, frankly, thank God because there sure as hell isn’t anything else to talk about when you have a TV blog these days (Project Runway! July 16 can’t come fast enough!). So, I’m sure to get some mileage out of this.

For some reason the people behind the Emmys are slowly leaking out the top ten lists of semi-finalists. They started off with just the best dramatic and comedic series and are now methodically leaking the other categories.

So, in our methodical discussion of who the nominees and winners should be, let’s start with the only leaked category thus far where I’ve actually felt where there was a surprise: lead actress in a comedy.

Of course, we have La Fey and a handful of Desperate Housewives (no Teri Hatcher, though!), but Sarah Silverman also made the cut! Who’d have guessed?

Here are the nominees. Feel free to add people you think deserved a nomination.

There probably isn’t much of a point to this poll, because I’m sure it’ll be a Fey landslide. And rightfully so. I feel like this season she has really proven her chops as a comic actress in addition to being the creative force behind the show. However, you have to give some credit to Mary Louise Parker, Sarah Silverman and, hell, even Christina Applegate (she really sells the hell out of what she’s given on Samantha Who?). The ladies all do a fine job.

As far as the Desperate Housewives go. Meh.
