Emmy says. “Take that Tom Cruise” with South Park nom!
July 6th, 2006 under Comedy Central, Emmys, South Park, Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes/Suri. [ Comments: none ]

One of the Emmy nominees for best animated program is the episode of "South Park" that’s said to have angered Tom Cruise and Isaac Hayes.

The episode called "Trapped in the Closet" implies that Cruise is gay and makes fun of Scientology.

Cruise’s fellow Scientologist Isaac Hayes reportedly quit because he was upset with the episode. And when it came time to rerun it, Cruise allegedly called Comedy Central and demanded that it be pulled. It was, even though Cruise’s people denied he asked for it.

Do you think the Emmy voters knew the premise behind this episode when they selected it?

Still rooting for Family Guy, but a little part of me is saying Go South Park!

The above list is from ABC.

So everyone was hoping that The WB and UPN would benefit from the new voting system, but they got nada. Personally I do not see that much of a change from years past, but I am extremely bummed about Hugh Laurie and the cast of House being ignored. That is one of the best acted shows on TV and the noms went to shows that were cancelled like the worst season of Six Feet and the least watched season for West Wing. Oh well.  At least Chuck Lorre was recognized finally for Two and a Half Men. I so hope Jon Cryer gets the win, he did some great physical comedy this season and just deserves it! I wished Conchata Ferrell and Holland Taylor repeated their noms. But go Chuck Lorre, an overlooked comedic genius!
Luckily the cast of Desperate Housewives is not on the set today because I would feel for Marc Cherry and the way he would be belittled for no major noms. Marc will always be my Golden Girl Boy!
And where are noms for ER, LOST and Nip/Tuck. Poor Nip/Tuck. Poor LOST.
The complete list can be viewed here. There you will see Family Guy getting best animated show nom and both Christina Ricci and Kyle Chandler get noms for the amazing Grey’s Anatomy Superbowl two-parter episodes. Man how hot was Kyle Chandler on that episode especially when he blew up!
On that note, we shall see the explosive winners announced on August 27th!
