Why, Sookie? (HBO)
The overall snub of science fiction and fantasy genre shows at the Emmys continues.
True Blood, HBO’s hilarious and sexy story of vampires coming out of the coffin in modern-day America? Art direction, casting and title design are up for honors, but not the transfixing Anna Paquin (pictured) as good-girl telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse.
A best drama nod for Battlestar Galactica’s final season? Frak, no. Just technical categories like visual effects, directing and editing — the usual. Never mind the outstanding performances of Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell.
