Backstage Scoop at the Emmys | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/20/2004
In order for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards to be considered a success, I decided early on that one of three things must happen. The first one is obvious: To hell with the restraining order, I gotta finally meet Mariska Hargitay. Next, I must observe at least one uncomfortable moment between Sex and the City-movie killer Kim Cattrall and her resentful costars, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.

Tacky, tough and maybe a little tanked, the red-carpet commandos made every mistake in the book. And we loved them for it. So .. read more
Mariska Eyes Her Emmy! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 7/16/2004
Did TV Guide Online's 2004 Dream Emmy Ballot call it or what? In the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category, four out of our five picks were nominated by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. And it's an understatement to say we're especially psyched to see NBC crimefighter Mariska Hargitay in the running. As Det.
