I know. I hadn’t ever heard of an EWwy Award either. But it’s a new one given by Entertainment Weekly, thus the EWwy. They know that many of us feel that our favorite actors have done amazing work on their shows for many years, but have never been given an Emmy. They fell it’s time to acknowledge them with an EWwy instead.
There are lots of nominations, but the reason I’m posting this about it is that (finally!) William Petersen, who brilliantly played Gil Grissom on CSI: Vegas for nearly nine years …read more

With all the success of the three CSI series, it’s amazing that none of the shows or their main characters have gotten Emmy Awards. What’s up with that?
The good news is that some of the fantastic folks behind the scenes are nominated for Emmys this year, including the makeup for that episode of CSI: Vegas that did a trbute to Battlestar Gallactica, A Space Oddity. CSI: NY guest star Ed Asner is also nominated for his performance in Yarzeit, the episode about Nazi war criminals.

ABC has announced a very interesting pairing of actors to present an Emmy Award together. William Petersen who plays CSI: Vegas’ Gil Grissom will present alongside the show’s newest cast member, Laurence Fishburne. I like it that they will probably make a joke or two about one replacing the other or one leaving so the other will have to step in….
Be sure to watch the Primetime Emmys on Sunday, September 21 on ABC for both of them on stage together.

With the Emmy nominations out, the other day, the CSI franchise garnered three nods. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has two of them, while CSI: New York has the third.
