The Normal Heart won ONE Emmy.

Just. A. Single. One.

Are you fucking kidding me???

I am so incensed right now, I could scream. In fact, I did scream at my laptop when Matty lost. HE WAS ROBBED. Hell, everyone (except maybe Julia Roberts - I did favor Kathy Bates) was robbed.

And you could see Matty's disappointment when the "winner" was announced. I just wanted to reach through my screen and smish him.

FU, Emmy assholes. Eff. Yoo.

I don't know why they're so obsessed with Sherlock (of all things! *shudders*) but this year more than ever, they fucking missed the opportunity to reward and honor something very special. Something very important. I guess I should be thankful that they recognized The Normal Heart as Best TV Movie. Pardon me for not feeling very thankful right now. *fumes* (to be honest, I was convinced that this one would also go to Sherlock, because, hey, it's totally a TV Movie and not a Mini-Series, right??? *fumes some more*)

JFC.

Going to rage myself to sleep now... (Can't believe I stayed up to watch this trainwreck.)

This was a travesty. Even reviewers who were lukewarm about the film thought Matt was incredible. Part of me wonders if the subject matter or other even less pleasant 'factors' were in play in this virtual shutout of TNH. But part of me wonders about the whole thing. Billy Bob Thornton was a huge favorite for long time (until some people started adding Mark Ruffalo into the mix), and ditto Alison Tolman, but Fargo was mostly shut out too (nothing for acting & writing went to Sherlock).

I watch Sherlock (though I haven't seen the latest season & now have little interest in doing so), and both actors are good, but no way MF should have beat out Matt. Even the other nominees looked shocked (and in the case of some of his co-stars, angry) when Matt didn't win.
