Remember back at the 1999 ...
Question: Remember back at the 1999 Emmy awards, when the year's most critically acclaimed cable series lost the Outstanding Drama Series trophy to a David E. Kelley legal series? Well, brace yourself, because nine years later, it's going to happen again. The only difference: This year's critically-acclaimed gem is not
The Sopranos (it's
Mad Men), and the Kelley series is not
The Practice (it's
Boston Legal). Anybody who thinks that
Boston Legal doesn't have a serious shot at winning TV's biggest award is about to get a big surprise come September when the awards are handed out. Mark my words — it's going to happen. Best to start preparing yourselves now.
Answer: Thanks, pal, for ruining my Monday. But maybe your dredging up one of the more embarrassing moments in Emmy history will remind everyone how awful it would be should they repeat it. (Not that
The Practice didn't deserve its earlier wins; just not in the year that introduced
The Sopranos to TV.)
