This time, it's the <a href="http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2008/07/breaking-bad-17.html">Best Actor in a Drama</a>.</p>
<p>There are a lot of the usual suspects on the list (which will be knocked down to five nominees in the next round), including actors from <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Dexter/" style="font-style: italic;">Dexter</a>, <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Mad-Men/">Mad Men</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Greys-Anatomy/">Grey's Anatomy</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Friday-Night-Lights/">Friday Night Lights</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Breaking-Bad/">Breaking Bad</a></em>, and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/House/" style="font-style: italic;">House</a>. One show that's not represented is <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Lost/" style="font-style: italic;">Lost</a>. I thought Matthew Fox did some great work this season, especially his drunk/screwed-up scenes.</p>

There were many worthy nominees, but the overwhelming winner was <em>House, MD</em> himself, actor Hugh Laurie. That Englishman, one of her majesty's loyal subjects, has been making us all believe that he's just a Jersey boy. As Dr. Gregory House of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, he sounds like he was born in south Jersey, spent his summers in Asbury Park, and is as much a Garden Stater as Bruce Springsteen and Tony Soprano.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: Hugh Laurie</strong></p><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/hugh-laurie/485626/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/house1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="house9" title="house9" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/hugh-laurie/485597/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/house8_thumbnail.jpg" alt="House8" title="House8" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/hugh-laurie/485587/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/house7_thumbnail.jpg" alt="house7" title="house7" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/hugh-laurie/485565/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/house6_thumbnail.jpg" alt="house6" title="house6" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/hugh-laurie/485564/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/house5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="house5" title="house5" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/06/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-winner-video/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1213205/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/06/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-winner-video/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>accents</category><category>American</category><category>Blackadder</category><category>Bryan Singer</category><category>BryanSinger</category><category>English</category><category>Flight of the Phoenix</category><category>FlightOfThePhoenix</category><category>Fox</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Jamie Bamber</category><category>JamieBamber</category><category>Jeeves and Wooster</category><category>JeevesAndWooster</category><category>outsourcing</category><category>Oxford</category><category>The Excellence in Outsourcing Award</category><category>TheExcellenceInOutsourcingAward</category><category>TV Squad awards</category><category>TvSquadAwards</category><category>Wilson</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:59:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>The Excellence in Outsourcing Award nominees</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/27/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-nominees/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/27/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-nominees/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/27/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-nominees/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/awards/" rel="tag">Awards</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-awards/" rel="tag">TV Squad Awards</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="104" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/tvs-awards-425w-whitebg-1.jpg" alt="TVS award logo" />Have you been checking out the best American accents on TV today?

You know, you call for technical support when your PC is out of whack or you have a problem with a credit card and instead of hearing an American voice on the other end, you're left to chat with Kim in Karachi or Biff in Bangalore. <br /><br />Well, in TV, outsourcing is also taking place. Parts that were once strictly American roles -- requiring a real, colloquial U.S. voice -- are being played by foreigners. The thing is, many of these roles are being brilliantly played by actors donning American accents -- they're doing a great job.<br /><br />Think about it; some of the best performances on TV feature foreigners with great American accents, like Hugh Laurie on <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/House/">House</a></em> and Jonny Lee Miller on <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Eli-Stone/">Eli Stone</a>. </em>Two of Her Majesty's loyal subjects, two wonderful American voices. The Brits are all over the dial.<br /><br />But did you know that Anthony LaPlaglia (<em>Without A Trace</em>) and Rachel Griffiths (<em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Brothers-and-Sisters/">Brothers &amp; Sisters</a></em>) are Australian? It's true. And they're not alone. There are a lot of other actors who were not brought up speaking like typical Americans who sound like they were.<br /><br />Therefore, you tell us: who are your choices for the best American accents on television right now? Give us your thoughts on who should be nominated for TV Squad's Excellence in Outsourcing Award.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-call-for-considerations/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1199782/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/the-excellence-in-outsourcing-award-call-for-considerations/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Anthony LaPaglia</category><category>AnthonyLapaglia</category><category>Brothers Sisters</category><category>BrothersSisters</category><category>Eli Stone</category><category>EliStone</category><category>House</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Jonny Lee Miller</category><category>JonnyLeeMiller</category><category>Rachel Griffiths</category><category>RachelGriffiths</category><category>TV Squad awards</category><category>TvSquadAwards</category><category>Without A Trace</category><category>WithoutATrace</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2008 15:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>House: Wilson's Heart (season finale)</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/house-wilsons-heart-season-finale/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/house-wilsons-heart-season-finale/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/house-wilsons-heart-season-finale/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-recaps/" rel="tag">Episode Recaps</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="181" border="0" align="right" alt="Wilson's Heart 051908" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/wilsonsheartgreggayne250.jpg" />(<em>S04E16</em>) "<em>Her heart won't stop racing. No idea what's causing it." Doctor in inferior hospital.<br /> "Are you sure it wasn't the bus that landed on her?" House.</em><br /><br />The season finale of <em>House </em>packed a wallop. I let my Tivo get ahead of my watching it so I wouldn't have to see the commercials, and I had barely begun the episode when my next-door neighbor burst into my living room exclaiming, "Have you seen <em>House?</em>??" We barely had time to hit the pause button while yelling at her to leave and leave quickly without saying anything. But that is the kind of impact this kind of episode has. The season finale, which started last week, covered a bus-load of big themes: fear, wish-fulfillment, anger, risk-taking, the nature of friendship, remorse, and love. The episode was written by four writers, including producer David Foster: that was one of my first clues that this episode was going to be significant. They called in the big guns.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/house-wilsons-heart-season-finale/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1200220/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/20/house-wilsons-heart-season-finale/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Anne Dudek</category><category>AnneDudek</category><category>FOX</category><category>House</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Jennifer Morrison</category><category>JenniferMorrison</category><category>Jesse Spencer</category><category>JesseSpencer</category><category>Kal Penn</category><category>KalPenn</category><category>Lisa Edelstein</category><category>LisaEdelstein</category><category>may sweeps</category><category>MaySweeps</category><category>Oliva Wilde</category><category>OlivaWilde</category><category>Omar Epps</category><category>OmarEpps</category><category>Peter Jacobson</category><category>PeterJacobson</category><category>Robert Sean Leonard</category><category>RobertSeanLeonard</category><dc:creator>Jen Creer</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2008 01:09:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>A House spin-off about private investigators?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/a-house-spin-off-about-private-investigators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/a-house-spin-off-about-private-investigators/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/a-house-spin-off-about-private-investigators/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/04/laurie_drama.jpg" alt="House" />When a series is successful, it's not surprising that there are talks of spin-offs. In the last few years, we had spin-offs for <em>Grey's Anatomy</em>, <em>Girlfriends</em>, <em>CSI, Law &amp; Order</em>, etc., while others are in the works for <span style="font-style: italic;">Battlestar Galactica</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Beverly Hills, 90210</span>. <br /><br />Therefore, I don't think you'll fall off your chair if I tell you that FOX is toying with the idea of a <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/"><span style="font-style: italic;">House</span></a> spin off. But you may want to make sure you are properly seated before reading this: the spin-off would not focus on doctors but private investigators!<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/a-house-spin-off-about-private-investigators/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1188911/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/a-house-spin-off-about-private-investigators/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Fox</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>spin off</category><category>SpinOff</category><dc:creator>Isabelle Carreau</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 14:41:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>House: Living the Dream</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/house-living-the-dream/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/house-living-the-dream/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/house-living-the-dream/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="202" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/houselivingthedream1.jpg" alt="livingthedream050508" />[<em>S04E14</em>] <em>"You don't deserve to be happy." House to Wilson.<br />     "And yet I am. You?" Wilson to House<br /><br /></em>House treats the symptoms, but he doesn't treat the whole person. He doesn't even claim to. He often makes a clear point that he doesn't care. House likes medicine because he likes to solve puzzles, and what greater consequences can a puzzle have than a human life? But ultimately, even someone dying doesn't matter unless House can't figure out the puzzle. <br /><br />So, if the above paragraph is true, then why does House go out of his way to kidnap a soap opera star he believes to be dying in order to save his life? Is it really because he can't stand the idea of not watching his soap? I don't think so; he even encourages angsty actor Evan Greer (<span style="font-style: italic;">Sex and the City'</span>s Jason Lewis) to quit if he's not happy... well, sort of. But, back to the question: If House doesn't care, then why bother? Because it's a puzzle he can see daily, right in front of him, and he has to solve it. Apparently he has made multiple calls about it, because the actor knows who House is, so House simply takes matters into his own hands because that is what House does. House lives a life without consequences.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/house-living-the-dream/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1187411/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/house-living-the-dream/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Fox</category><category>House</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Jennifer Morrison</category><category>JenniferMorrison</category><category>Jesse Spencer</category><category>JesseSpencer</category><category>Kal Penn</category><category>KalPenn</category><category>Lisa Edelstein</category><category>LisaEdelstein</category><category>Olivia Wilde</category><category>OliviaWilde</category><category>Omar Epps</category><category>OmarEpps</category><category>Peter Jacobsen</category><category>PeterJacobsen</category><category>Robert Sean Leonard</category><category>RobertSeanLeonard</category><dc:creator>Jen Creer</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 00:52:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>17 comedic actors who moved into dramatic television roles</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/17-comedic-actors-who-moved-into-dramatic-television-roles/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/17-comedic-actors-who-moved-into-dramatic-television-roles/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/17-comedic-actors-who-moved-into-dramatic-television-roles/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/rescue-me/" rel="tag">Rescue Me</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-riches/" rel="tag">The Riches</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="214" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/04/dramamasks.jpg" alt="The comedians who made inwards into drama are featured in this article" />As AOL Television continues their look at the <a href="http://television.aol.com/photos/best-tv-comedies">50 Best TV Comedies -- Ever</a> with their Top 10, we here at TV Squad are also looking at television comedy, but with a slightly skewed difference. <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/24/the-not-ready-for-prime-time-players-who-made-it-to-the-big-time/">Last week,</a> we took a look at the <em>Saturday Night Live </em>cast members from 1996 to 2006 that made it to the big time. This week, we get a bit more serious.</p>
<p>There are those in the industry who say that it is easier to go from acting in a drama to acting in a comedy than it is the other way around. Yet, as you will see from the list we've compiled after the jump, there are plenty of comedic actors who have jumped from the world of comedy films, stand-up comedy, and television sitcoms into the more serious world of drama. In many cases they have had even greater success than they did on the other side of the tracks. There have even been instances where they stayed in the drama genre and never went back to being funny.</p>

<p>So Wilson is going out with Cutthroat Bitch (aka: Amber), huh? And, for awhile all is well. That's a pretty good record for Wilson, and devious as hell since he was able to keep it from House for so long. Of course, there is now a challenge for Greg to figure out why Amber seems such a catch for his best friend.</p>
<p>Manipulation? Well, that's a possible answer since Wilson is directly connected to House and can be the avenue to get her a fellowship. Revenge? Certainly, especially the way the good doctor treated Amber during the competition. Actual love and affection for Wilson? Nah, couldn't be! I mean, that would just be ludicrous coming from someone who was only concerned about herself during the game. Come on, doesn't anyone remember when she got all of those candidates to stop washing House's car and walk away from the competition? Plus, according to House, people don't change.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/06/house-dont-ever-change/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1107772/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/06/house-dont-ever-change/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Amber</category><category>Cuddy</category><category>Cutthroat Bitch</category><category>CutthroatBitch</category><category>Foreman</category><category>Greg House</category><category>GregHouse</category><category>Hasidic Jews</category><category>HasidicJews</category><category>House reviewcap</category><category>HouseReviewcap</category><category>hugh laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Taub</category><category>Thirteen</category><category>Wilson</category><dc:creator>Richard Keller</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>House: Frozen</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/04/house-frozen/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/04/house-frozen/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/04/house-frozen/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="390" border="0" align="right" alt="Cate" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen5_250.jpg" />(<em>S04E11</em>) "<em>Never before has a profession been so decried by someone who needed it so badly," Wilson [about psychiatry] to House.<br /><br /></em>One of my favorite parts of this episode was the quote I have chosen to put at the beginning of the entry. Wilson accuses House of not liking Cate, the patient, because she is a psychiatrist. House counters that there are many reasons he does not like the patient, and Wilson comes back with that retort. The reason I like it so much isn't because I think it's meant to be about House. I like it so much because I think it's a sneaky little slam on Tom Cruise. Or at least, if that is too much of a stretch, then I like it because it certainly can be applied to Tom Cruise and his very public outcries against psychiatry. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: House: Frozen</strong></p><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/house-frozen/621673/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen9isabellavosmikova_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sean1" title="Sean1" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/house-frozen/621672/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen8adamtaylor_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Flunkies" title="Flunkies" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/house-frozen/621671/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen7adamtaylor_thumbnail.jpg" alt="House and Foreman" title="House and Foreman" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/house-frozen/621670/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen6vosmikova_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Cate1" title="Cate1" /></a><a href="http://"www.tvsquad.com"/photos/house-frozen/621669/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/frozen5isabellavosmikova_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Cate2" title="Cate2" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/04/house-frozen/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1105575/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/02/04/house-frozen/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Fox</category><category>House</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>Jennifer Morrison</category><category>JenniferMorrison</category><category>Jesse Spencer</category><category>JesseSpencer</category><category>Lisa Edelstein</category><category>LisaEdelstein</category><category>mira sorvino</category><category>MiraSorvino</category><category>Omar Epps</category><category>OmarEpps</category><category>robert sean leonard</category><category>RobertSeanLeonard</category><dc:creator>Jen Creer</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 07:08:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>House: It's a Wonderful Lie</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/30/house-its-a-wonderful-lie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/30/house-its-a-wonderful-lie/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/30/house-its-a-wonderful-lie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/" rel="tag">House</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><p><em><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="284" border="0" align="top" alt="House: It's a Wonderful Lie" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/01/housewonderfullie425.jpg" /><br /></em></p>

<p><em><strong>"</strong>Santa, of course. Don't you know that I worship him? Oh wait, that's Satan. Sorry, I get them confused."</em> -- <strong>House</strong></p>
<p>Well, maybe it was the fact that I haven't seen an episode of <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/house/">House</a> </em>in nearly two months, but dear ol' Greggie seemed more cynical than his normal cynical self. Most likely it was due to the holidays. You know, the holidays that came and went over a month ago. I know that FOX is trying to save as many episodes of its hit shows as possible, but it would have been nice if they aired the <em>House </em>Christmas episode around, you know, Christmas.</p>

I am glad that I don't have to vote officially for the Golden Globes, because I really think this is a very hard group to choose from. I have to say that my top three contenders are Michael C. Hall, Bill Haxton, and Hugh Laurie-- and not just because of their performances last year, but also because of their bodies of work as a whole. I don't know whether that is entirely fair or not, but I don't live in a vacuum.

Not surprisingly, <em>The Sopranos</em> swan song continues to get awards show nods, with bids in all three categories it qualifies for. <em>30 Rock</em> accomplished the same feat in the comedy categories. No other show was represented in all three drama or comedy categories.</p>
<p>Newcomers include Jon Hamm (<em>Mad Men</em>) and Michael C. Hall (<em>Dexter</em>) in male dramatic actor. Holly Hunter (<em>Saving Grace</em>) was a new face in female dramatic actor, while Christina Applegate (<em>Samantha Who?</em>) and Vanessa Williams (<em>Ugly Betty</em>) represented comedic actresses. Only <em>Mad Men</em> was able to creep in as a new show in the ensemble drama category. The complete list is after the jump.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/12/20/sag-nominations-are-in/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1067919/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/12/20/sag-nominations-are-in/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>30 Rock</category><category>30Rock</category><category>Boston Legal</category><category>BostonLegal</category><category>Damages</category><category>Dexter</category><category>Edie Falco</category><category>EdieFalco</category><category>Gandolfini</category><category>Glenn Close</category><category>GlennClose</category><category>House</category><category>Hugh Laurie</category><category>HughLaurie</category><category>James Gandolfini</category><category>James Spader</category><category>JamesGandolfini</category><category>JamesSpader</category><category>Jon Hamm</category><category>JonHamm</category><category>Michael C.
