The Emmy nominations will be announced in July, but it’s never too early to start campaigning. Although Family Guy has been nominated for Best Comedy before, they’ve never won. So they’ve released this “For Your Consideration” ad that features Stewie in front of an empty trophy cabinet. The ad was mailed out to Academy voters. Will this be the year Family Guy finally takes home gold? More »

Emmy nominees Steve Carell and Jane Lynch visited Jay Leno on the Tonight Show (which, coincidentally was not nominated for an Emmy although The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien was). The two actors talked about their work together on The 40-Year-Old Virgin, especially Jane’s Peruvian love song (just try not to laugh).
Steve also talked about his kids, and how his daughter tried to trick him into thinking that “cheese” was what the kids are using instead of “cool” these days…. More »

The Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, and as expected, Glee snagged a handful of categories including best comedy and acting nods for stars Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch – and, in a bit of a pleasant surprise, scene-stealer Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt on the hit Fox dramedy.
Matthew’s nomination no doubt as Crushable associate editor Drew Grant fuming! The brillow-headed triple-threat was recognized in the category of outstanding lead actor in a comedy series. His competition is stiff:… More »
Do you ever get the sense that the actors from Friday Night Lights don’t have to do much stretching to play their characters? That’s not to say they aren’t awesome and don’t totally deserve awards and accolades, but we truly believe Taylor Kitsch is a lot like Tim Riggins (except Canadian), and Zach Gilford is totally just as sweet and humble as his unlikely QB character Matt Saracen.
As you might have known, PopEater has launched a campaign on Facebook to… More »
Ad-sanity — We love Kathy Griffin but we’re no sure she can pull off this Bettie Page cat eye look — at least without all the airbrushing. But she owns it: “They don’t give out an Emmy for ‘Best Airbrushing’ but if they did, I’d totally win.” (via Cover Awards)
