Adam Rodriguez Was a Guest on the Wendy Williams Show

Lynn — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:06:23 +0000

CSI: Miami star Adam Rodriguez made a guest appearance this week on the Wendy Williams talk show. He was there to talk about his role on the show Ugly Betty. I have to admit to never having seen that show. I love Adam, but even he isn’t enough to make me watch that one. Sorry. It just looks dumb

He also talks about his nomination for an NAACP Image Award and his role in the movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself. [He's everywhere these days!] He even addresses his departure from CSI: Miami. Here’s a clip of the interview:

And here are some photos of him greeting some fans outside the studio the day of the guest appearance:

Vote for William Petersen for an EWwy Award!

Lynn — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:53:06 +0000

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 is nominated for an award. I hope you’ll go make your voices heard in support of William winning. The site with all the niminees is here. And these are the nominations in William’s category:

Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Josh Holloway (Lost)
Michael Chiklis (The Shield)
Denis Leary (Rescue Me)
Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
William Petersen (CSI)
Scott Grimes (ER)
David Boreanaz (Bones)

CSI Franchise Gets Several Emmy Nominations

Lynn — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:55:15 +0000

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.

This year, the usual suspects got a lot of Emmy attention. But we have to wait for the Emmy Awards Show to air on CBS on September 20 to find out who wins. Here’s the one nominations received by CSI shows:

CSI: Miami & CSI: Vegas to Compete in Monaco

Lynn — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:35:45 +0000

According to Variety, the annual Monte Carlo TV Festival begins on Sunday in Monaco. And just like in years past, two fo the CSI series will compete for the title of most-watched TV drama, worldwide.

This year, CSI: Vegas, CSI: Miami & House MD will go head to head for the title. The nominations were chosen by the Producers’ Guld of America and one of them will bring home the title this year. I’ll keep you posted.

The fest has had to develop a new identity since it abandoned its market in 2001. CEO David Tomatis said Tuesday that it now serves as a networking event for producers and talent; a platform for international productions in its six competitive sections; and an opportunity for some 350 invited journos, mostly from Europe, to meet U.S. talent.

As a fan of all three of the CSI series, I see it as a 2 out of 3 chance of winning. Those are great odds!!
