The TV Zone

One 'o these days I'll get around to posting my entirely irrelevant and meaningless choices to win this Sunday's Emmys - hey, I'm not being self-critical, merely pragmatic insofar as once again no one called me from the Academy to ask me who should win but instead went ahead with dues-paying members' choices, and as we all know, the tyranny of the crowd is always wrong - but right now, I'll give you the just-announced Tubey's.

Tubey's? They're the awards given out by Televisionwithoutpity.com every year. They're interesting because they also select the LEAST favorite, LEAST talented, MOST awful, and so on. (Worth noting that TwoP is owned by Bravo, and also worth noting that none of Bravo's worthy crop made this worst of list, but none made the "best of" either, so it all evens out in the wash, I suppose.)

Before I get to the list, the headline: Katherine Heigl was given the award for "Least favorite actress."

Apparently she forgot to call the Tubey's board beforehand to ask that they take her out of contention...

In any event, it's an ecclectic list, and voters are obviously TVaholics whose tastes tend towards the fanboy side of the spectrum. A reasonably good list, though, but honestly, I think there are even worse reality show stars than Tila Tequila, though for the moment can't think of one...
