Still, no matter the size, shape or situation, family always comes first in this laugh-out-loud, critically acclaimed hit.

2011 Emmy Awards Winners

Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen

On Sunday night the winners of the 2011 Emmy Awards were announced. Last night's ceremony handed out awards for major categories, while the more technical awards were presented on September 10th. Among the big winners last night were "Modern Family", which took home five awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Writing for a Comedy Series and both Supporting awards (Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell). Thus, "Modern Family" has become one of the rare comedy series to win the big one two years in a row (ABC's second since "Taxi").

Outstanding Dramatic Series was won by "Mad Men", although the popular series did not win in any of the other categories in which it was nominated. It did, however, win one Creative Arts award on September 10th. "Mad Men" was originally nominated in 19 categories. Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce won awards for Best Lead Actress and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce". The TV movie did not however win for Best Miniseries. That award went to the british movie "Downtown Abbey", which also won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries (Maggie Smith) and Writing.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries went to Barry Pepper for his portrayal of Bobby Kennedy in "The Kennedys". Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama series went to Kyle Chandler for "Friday Night Lights" and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series was won by Julianna Marguiles for "The Good Wife". "Boardwalk Empire" only picked up the award for Best Directing, which went to Martin Scorsese for the Pilot episode. The gangster drama series did win 10 Creative Arts awards, which is pretty good for its first season.

After the jump you can find all the winners both from last night's ceremony and from the September 10th Creative Awards.

ROMANCING THE STONE Remake Becomes TV Series

Last week, I wrote a post in which I discussed the news of a "Romancing the Stone" remake. Today, in a surprising turn of events, NBC has hired writer Mark Friedman ("Home of the Brave", "The Forgotten" TV series) and director Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum", "Date Night", "Real Steel") to turn the 1984 adventure movie into a TV series. Levy will probably direct the pilot episode and stay on the show as a producer and writer. At the moment it's unclear whether or not there will also be a feature length remake and if there will be one, it will probably be directed by Shawn Levy. To find out more about the remake rumors and the original 1984 movie, read this post : "FLATLINERS and ROMANCING THE STONE Remakes"

FRINGE - Season 4 Teaser Trailer and Poster

Click to Enlarge

Here is the newest teaser trailer for the upcoming fourth season of the beloved sci-fi series "Fringe", created by J.J. Abrams ("Lost", "Super 8"). The teaser keeps us in the dark about the direction this new season is going to take and it only provides a few lines of dialogue. Still, this is the first of four teasers to tease actual scenes from the fourth season. For fans of the series, after the third season's cliffhanger, the big mystery is : Where is Peter Bishop ? I hope they get the answer right, because I love "Fringe" and I would hate to see it turning fans away with some ridiculous new storyline.

2011 Emmy Nominations Announced

The 2011 Emmy Nominations have been announced and among the nominees you'll find all the major names you've been expecting, except for me, as I was hoping to see "Fringe" on that list. Another surprise, pleasant I would say, is that the miniseries "Carlos" earned two nominations for Best Directing and Best Lead Actor (Edgar Ramirez). If you recall, this 6 hour movie won the Golden Globe for Best Miniseries even though it faced last year's Emmy winner "The Pacific" as competition. You can read a review here. One new TV series that didn't quite make a huge impression is Showtime's "Shameless" which received only one nomination, for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series (Joan Cusack). Here's a quick count of some of the major TV productions and their total number of nominations :

• Mildred Pierce (miniseries) - 21 nominations
• Mad Men - 19 nominations
• Boardwalk Empire  - 18 nominations
• Modern Family - 17 nominations
• 30 Rock - 14 nominations
• Game of Thrones - 13 nominations
• Glee - 12 nominations
• The Good Wife - 9 nominations
• Dexter - 5 nominations
• The Office - 4 nominations
• True Blood - 4 nominations
• Grey's Anatomy - 3 nominations
• Nurse Jackie - 2 nominations

THE WALKING DEAD - Season 2 Fan Teaser Trailer

Here is the teaser trailer for the second season of "The Walking Dead", the Zombie apocalypse TV series created, produced and written by Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Mist"). I'm not sure whether or not this is legit, though. The title says Fan Teaser and the producers supposedly denied it's an official teaser. Nevertheless, it still pretty cool. It could still be some sort of leaked viral video. The new season begins on October 21 and will feature 13 episodes. Click here to read the review for the first season of "The Walking Dead".
