Ugly Betty Awards/Nominations Thread!! Let's go and win them all!!!

Just started this because there is going to be a bunch of talk about the GG, America and UB and it's easier for us to keep track here. Then, if we win, we can just celebrate and have a party!!

New info and just posting the UB/America parts.

Quote:
Which Show Should Get the GG???

source

ACTRESS, COMEDY
America Ferrera, “Ugly Betty”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “The New Adventures of Old Christine”
Mary-Louise Parker, “Weeds”
Felicity Huffman, “Desperate Housewives”
Marcia Cross, “Desperate Housewives”

Nothing against the “Housewives” ladies, but it’s only the dearth of female comedians that allows them to make the short list. Parker is the defending champ and the fact that “Weeds” is on Showtime and can take some creative liberties — meaning they can curse up a storm —makes the show better than it would be if it had broadcast restrictions. The affable Louis-Dreyfus has proven that it wasn’t just the writers on “Seinfeld” that made Elaine Benes funny, but it’s the actress herself who’s so likeable. But even before the nominations are announced, go ahead and mark your ballots for Ferrera, with “Betty” succeeding because of her buoyant smile and carefree attitude as the overworked and underappreciated magazine editor’s assistant who just can’t say no.


COMEDY SERIES
“30 Rock”
“The New Adventures of Old Christine”
”Ugly Betty”
“The Office”
“Entourage”
Story continues below ↓ advertisement

“Betty” knows how to turn heads — and TV remotes. “Ugly Betty” is the rare hourlong sitcom that was a hit from Day One and deserves the high praise it’s receiving. Watercooler buzz alone makes it a Globes nom and most likely winner. Yet it’s far from the funniest new show of the season. That honor belongs to NBC’s “30 Rock,” a Nielsen-challenged but often laugh-out-loud look at a “SNL”-type variety series. It may be one of the lowest-rated Thursday night programs in the history of the network, but it’s still a thousand times better than “Veronica’s Closet,” “Suddenly Susan” or any of those other lame comedies NBC put up during its Thursday night glory days. Thanks to a stellar cast, “Christine” is a weekly gem but Globes voters rarely acknowledge traditional studio-audience sitcoms. “Entourage” provides quality on a consistent basis, with skewers and jabs at Hollywood that are funny only because they’re so true.

I think the show will be tough, there are some good ones in that list, esp. Entourage. I love that show, but my high hopes are on America.

Should we make this a general Awards show thread...so it can be for all of them, so we don't have to have a thread for each.

So, is she actually nominated, or up for being nominated?

Sure Anji, that's cool. Just did it for this, because it's a major award show..the biggies of all biggies and it's gearing up for it. I'm not sure what other awards there are.

No, she is not automatically nominated. The list is revealed tomorrow.

I was expecting more noms but the show is just starting and I must be patient.

I'm SO rooting for America & UB it's not even funny! America may have a better chance at winning in her category, I think. But either would rock, both, I would just die screaming.

I'm glad the show got two nominations and I think America actually has a shot at winning as best actress.
