By Cassie Dresch TV MediaI t’s that time of year again! TV’s brightest stars are flocking to Los Angeles as one of the biggest television awards shows gets set to honor the best of the best of U.S. prime-time programming.
The “66th Primetime Emmy Awards” is sure to be an exciting event as new shows, new platforms and old favorites are looking to cash in on hard work, dedication and some extremely good television. Don’t miss who’s taking home the hardware when the “66th Primetime Emmy Awards” airs Monday, Aug. 25, on NBC.
First awarded by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 1949, the Primetime Emmy Awards (originally referred to simply as Emmy Awards until the Daytime awards show rolled around) are to television what the Academy Awards are to movies. It’s an award that reflects excellence in all aspects of TV — from your most intense dramas to your most hysterical comedies; your best actors to your best hosts; and your best directors to your best writers.
This year, as with every year that NBC hosts the awards, TV’s best will be descending on the Nokia Theatre in L.A. a few weeks earlier than the usual mid-September date to avoid scheduling conflicts with NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” broadcast. The awards will be handed out to the best programs in U.S. prime time that aired from June 1, 2013, until May 31, 2014.
Of course, no show would be complete without a stellar host to lead the way, and NBC has tapped one seriously funny guy to take the reins as emcee for the night.
“Late Night’s” Seth Meyers is no stranger to a large, live audience, and he has the pedigree to ensure that a fun night is had by all. After joining “Saturday Night Live” in 2001, he forged his way through the writing ranks before being named the head writer and co-anchor of the Weekend Update segment in 2006. In 2011, he won his own Primetime Emmy for writing on “SNL,” and this past February, Meyers took over as host of
NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Mey- awards show is a man entertainment events in the world,
endary producer.

and very much look forward
As for who’s up for what, it’s a long list — especially since the Television Academy split the “Outstanding Miniseries or Movie” category into separate entities and added two new categories (“Outstanding Structured Reality Program” and “Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program”).
Leading the pack with 19 total nominations — even if Jon Snow knows nothing — is HBO’s superpower TV show “Game of Thrones,” including nods for “Outstanding Drama Series,” “Outstanding Supporting Actor” for Peter Dinklage and “Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series” for Neil Marshall’s work on the episode “The Watchers on the Wall.”
Nipping at “Thrones’” heels is the new series “Fargo” on FX, notching 18 total nominations, including “Outstanding Miniseries” and “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie” for Colin Hanks’ performance as Officer Gus Grimly.
“It’s an awesome feeling,” Hanks said in an interview with “Variety” after his nomination was announced. “This [show] is on
par with so many of these shows that I admire — that someone would think of ‘Fargo’ in the same breath is sort of surreal.”
What’s intriguing about this round of award nominations is the fact that a new television-viewing platform is pushing the envelope and scoring a ton of nods. On-demand Internet streaming service Netflix has produced a comedy that’s getting some well-deserved recognition.
“Orange is the New Black” is a prison-based comedy that features a strong cast of female leads, and they took home a whopping 12 nominations — the most for any comedy series. It’s revolutionizing for television, especially since another Netflix original, “House of Cards,” also notched multiple nominations.
All eyes will be on Los Angeles when TV’s biggest stars touch down at the Nokia Theatre for the “66th Primetime Emmy Awards.” Who will be the big winners of the night, and who will go home empty-handed? It’s bound to be a night of excitement and laughs when the awards show airs Monday, Aug. 25, on NBC.

The “New York Times” published an editorial calling on the federal government to legalize recreational marijuana. They don’t really care about weed, it’s just the only way they can keep selling papers.
The “Times” said the government should legalize marijuana because the current laws against weed are useless and outdated. Then they said, “You know, like a newspaper.”
Last night was the finale of “The Bachelorette.” It came down to two guys: Josh and Nick. But ultimately, Andi went with Josh. She said after looking into her heart and doing a lot of soul searching that he was the person she wants to spend the rest of her publicity tour with.
Actor Orlando Bloom threw a punch at Justin Bieber last night during an argument at a night club in Spain. Orlando’s hand was pretty sore today, you know, from all the high-fives he got.

Blended Midway through a terrible blind date, single parents Lauren (Barrymore) and Jim (Sandler) quickly learn that they’re not remotely interested in one another. When they each sign up separately for a family vacation in Africa with their kids, the two are horrified to learn that fate has brought them back together, and they’re forced to share a suite for a week at a luxurious family resort. Though they initially can’t stand each
other, an attraction begins to form as the families spend more time together, and the kids experience the positive effects of their respective parents’ budding relationship.

Music and food. They’re a classic pairing, probably going all the way back to the beginning of time. The two of them don’t just pair up well at dinner parties, either; they go hand-in-hand on the TV screen, too.
Fire up the ovens and turn the radio dial to the local country music station, y’all: “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” is back for another season Saturday mornings on the Food Network.
Trisha Yearwood sure has had her finger in a lot of pies. The beautiful Georgia native and Grand Ole Opry member had her first No. 1 single way back in 1991 (“She’s in Love With the Boy,” from her self-titled debut album), and since then has released 10 more albums, earning herself three Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards and three Country Music Association Awards.
From 1998 to 2002, she dabbled in acting, playing a recurring character on the CBS hit show “JAG,” and in 2008, she (along with her mother and sister) released her first cookbook, “Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen.” It turns out that Yearwood is as talented in the
kitchen as she is in the recording studio. She released a second cookbook in 2010 that, along with the first cookbook, gave her the distinction of being a best-selling author.
These days, Yearwood’s home is on the Food Network on Saturday mornings. She invites us into the Nashville home she lives in with her husband, country star Garth Brooks, where she shares some of
her amazing southern recipes with the rest of us.
This season, we’ll be tagging along as our hostess shows off some iconic Southern hospitality. We’ll get to watch as she puts together a party for one of her bandmates, plans an exciting family reunion and even just has a day hanging out in the kitchen with her girlfriends.
It really is a delight to watch someone so genuine cooking up amazing food in her own home, but fans of her music don’t need to worry that she’s changing careers.
In an interview with the Food Network, Yearwood admitted she’s definitely been focusing on cooking for the past few years as “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” took off, but that music is where her passion really lies. She says if she had to choose between cooking and music, music would win out hands down.
Whether you’re a longtime Trisha Yearwood fan or just a fan of cooking shows, you really can’t go wrong with “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” currently airing Saturday mornings on the Food Network.
