Pushing Daisies

Aw, I don’t wanna build myself up for a big disappointment knowing that it ain’t over till they say, “And the award goes to…” but I can’t help but be very excited for Pushing Daisies at the Emmy’s. It seems it’s heavily favored and is a big favorite!

Here’s an update from The Gold Derby, who has been continuously providing information on how the Emmy wheels are turning…

• “Today’s 10 episodes were viewed in reverse alphabetical order starting with ‘Weeds’ and ending with ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ Yesterday’s comedy panel was seen in normal alphabetical order. This panel had about 30 voters, equally split male and female. Average age appeared to be 40+ (though several men were under age 40). One voter had ‘Pushing Daisies’ as his favorite choice and said voters were ‘rapt’ throughout.” Source
• ” ‘Pushing Daisies’ was by far my favorite episode of the day. Obviously, it isn’t the most laugh-out-loud comedy of the bunch, but it really was in a class of its own. Something as special and moving and so immaculately well produced will definitely get nominated. I don’t think it will score in the top 3 of the panel voting because so many voters judge by how ‘funny’ the shows are, but I think the popular vote secures its spot for a nom. All four leads should also be nominated, especially Pace, Friel and McBride.” Source
• “I’d say the slam-dunks to be nominated are ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ ‘Family Guy,’ ‘Pushing Daisies,’ ‘30 Rock’ and ‘Two and a Half Men.’” Source

Pushing Daisies is part of the shortlist of Best in Comedy nominees. The official announcement will be on July 17, with Kristin Chenoweth.
