Last night, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart won its ninth Emmy in a row for outstanding variety, music or comedy series. The show also won a writing award, the acceptance of which prompted New Yorker television critic Nancy Franklin to tweet, "Jon Stewart's writing staff: 14 men and — wait for it — 2 women! Practically a NOW convention." (There were several more women onstage, producers, for the category award.) More »

Last night we celebrated television by watching television, and if what we saw was a preview of awards season fashion in general, a few things are clear: There will be jewel tones, red dresses, and not a ton of bling. Ultimately, the looks were as safe as network television itself. We don't often say this, but thank god for Paz de la Huerta. More »

Leonard Nimoy's appearance as the president of television during tonight's Emmy's intro seemed a bit random, and here's why: The role was supposed to be played by Alec Baldwin. Alec worked with the program's writers on a joke that referenced the investigation into phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch's tabloids. Fox decided to cut the line, so Baldwin asked to be removed from the sketch altogether. He Tweeted: More »

A&E executives think Hoarders deserves an Emmy for exploiting people with increasingly troubling mental health issues and sending the average viewer into a cleaning frenzy every week. In a new ad campaign, the network uses fellow Emmy nominee Kathy Griffin's words against her, quoting her declaration that "HOARDERS IS SO F#*@ing FANTASTIC!" More »

There's a very masochistic thing with women now that I didn't used to see. My girl friends in the punk era weren't like that at all." [Guardian]

The Primetime Emmy nominations came out this morning, so we decided to round up the actresses nominated to get a better sense of what is being offered to — and celebrated — with regards to female performers in Hollywood. There were some surprises (did you know that Pushing Daisies was still on the air?), some absurdities (Two And A Half Men? Really?), but, as, Helen Mirren and countless other thespians have pointed out are a lot more meatier and complex roles on television for women these days. After the jump, a list of the work by women that was formally recognized this morning. Do American women see themselves reflected in these characters? Your thoughts, as always, in the comments.

Ever since Sex and the City turned out to be a money making juggernaut, Warner Brothers has decided to aggressively market The Women. "This is an about-face from the studio's earlier decision to leave plans intact for about-to-shutter Picturehouse to debut the chick flick in limited release and with a small P&A," says Nikki Finke, who has been following the fate of the Meg Ryan-helmed film for some time now (also starring: Annette Bening, Bette Midler, Jada Pinkett Smith). If you'll recall, last year Warner Brothers' Jeff Robinov famously declared, "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead." Well apparently he's doing at least one movie with a woman in the lead, and while that's heartening, movies still have a long way to go. Looking at the just-released shortlist for Emmy nominations, however, shows that there are myriad plum roles for leading ladies on the small screen. Which leads me to wonder: why is there such an enormous disconnect between females on TV and the ones on the silver screen? More »
