The Emmy Nominations are out, and because the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is nothing if not consistently out of touch, The Wire, which has been hailed by critics and viewers as one of the best shows ever made, was only nominated for one writing award. The best drama series nominees are Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House, Lost, and Mad Men. Having seen several episodes of all of these shows (except Damages), I can honestly say that The Wire is better than all of them, although Lost and Mad Men definitely deserve the nominations.In other nomination news, Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad were nominated for their performance in Raisin in the Sun, which was nominated for best TV movie or miniseries. Alfre Woodard also got a TV movie acting nod for her role in Pictures of Hollis Woods. Chandra Wilson of Grey’s Anatomy and Vanessa Williams got nominations as well.
