Forest Whitaker had better ...
Question: Forest Whitaker had better win the Emmy for his amazing performance on the Feb. 28 episode of
The Shield. When he burst out of the room and ordered the arrest of Lem, it gave me chills and made me want to jump into the TV and strangle him. I can't wait to see what everyone in the Barn's reaction will be when he puts Lem in the same place as Antwon Mitchell. Do you have any idea if
Anthony Anderson will be coming back for any more episodes? I heard that he is coming back for one more, but I feel he could be in a lot more of them. Also, I seriously hope that we do not need to wait until next January for the rest of the season. I hope FX is smart and starts the "second half" in September. Having
Nip/Tuck and
The Shield in the same week would be great. Let's just hope
Nip/Tuck can rebound from its weaker season.
Answer: Agreed on Forest Whitaker. If he gets submitted in the supporting-actor category, he'd have to be considered a front-runner. I think Anthony Anderson was scheduled to be in one more episode, but there's only two weeks to go before the March 21 finale, so it's more likely if he's going to get an expanded role, that it would be in the second half of the season. My understanding is that the show and its writers are taking an extended break before resuming production on the last batch of episodes, so I'm not sure it would be ready by fall. It would be cool to have
The Shield and
Nip/Tuck on successive nights, I agree, but I doubt FX wants to front-load too much product into the teeth of the new fall season. And I'm with you about
Nip/Tuck. I hope it can win me back after that ridiculous season finale. But I've got a soft spot for the show, so I'm not too worried.
