The awards, though I agree with some, seem sadly conventional.

Glee is a fun idea, but not especially well done. This award continues the overpraising, which I hope ends at the Emmys.

I like Modern Family, though, once again, the critics have been swept away by it when there are about five other comedies out there just as good.

It's interesting to see Lost and Breaking Bad as best drama. I like both, though I have to assume critics are giving Lost the award for its entire run. What most interesting is that the winner isn't Mad Men--is the bloom off the rose?
