What Do Awards Mean Anyway?

Even though nominations for the 2012 Golden Globes and Emmys won’t be announced until Dec. 15 and Jul. 19 respectively, thanks to a few other recently released nomination lists, I think we can now safely deduce which shows will end up as frontrunners in the race to television award glory. The Writers Guild of America, Producers Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild, American Film Institute, and TIME Magazine have all chosen what they believe to be the very best in television within the past year.

The wait for more Switched at Birth is almost over!

Comic-Con is now coming to close with only one day left, but in a lot of ways Saturday was the most exciting day of the long event. Fan favorites such as The Vampire Diaries, Fringe, Community, Chuck, Nikita, and Being Human, as well as new shows like The Secret Circle, Grimm, and Terra Nova took center stage as fans waited in some of the longest lines, yet.

There’s still two more days of Comic-Con left to go, and I’m already exhausted by all the news and goodies we’ve been getting. And I’m not even there, so I can’t imagine what it must be like for all the fans experiencing it in person. Serious overload.
