WHERE'S THE LOVE FOR "ACCORDING TO JIM?" For some reason, the Television Critics Association uses a not-particularly attractive Blogger blog as its press portal to announce the nominations for this season's TCA awards. The TCA loves the slightly quirky, and nominates this year both "Rescue Me," and my newfound addiction, "House" for "Outstanding Achivement in Drama," and surprises by nominating Matthew Fox, Kristen Bell and Hugh Laurie for "Individual Achievement in Drama." Most amusingly, "The Daily Show" is up for 3 awards you'd expect (Program of the Year, Outstanding Achivement in Comedy, and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Comedy for Jon Stewart) and one you wouldn't. Yes, "TDS" is competing against "60 Minutes Sunday," "Frontline," "Nightline," "Meet The Press," and "Newshour with Jim Lehrer" for "Outstanding Achievement in News & Information." Yes, fake news and real news have joined hands and are dancing around.
