*** end of rundown ***
Piercing Ken Thoughts: So after perusing this list, I am almost embarrassed to admit that I haven’t watched pretty much all of the programs that have been nominated. I had interest in the most recent “Fargo” series and “Shogun” but have not managed to get around to them at the time of this posting. I’m fortunate to be living a pretty busy life between adventures and trying to stay funded so I am not always sitting waiting for the next episode of well, everything. Thank the gods for DVR and On Demand capabilities. I’ll keep tabs on the official ceremony when the winners are announced because that’s good content for a site like this one and as I wrap it all up I wonder what you out there in the readership think. Please feel free to chime in down below in the comments.
