Emmy Poll!

[next_to_normal]

So, Emmy nominations were announced today. And since I very rarely care about the actual nominations, which are weird and sometimes random but far too often just plain bad, I've made my own poll, in which we will consider some VERY important and overlooked categories.

Poll #13905 Emmy Poll

[goldenusagi]

I don't know who any of the people are for best Fake American Accent, lol. I would vote Hugh Dancy.

I voted for Peter Dinklage for Best Fake Non-American Accent, but I guess he's not a good choice, lol, based on the comments? Someone on my flist from the UK said they at first thought Tatiana Maslany's Sarah character was Australian, so I'm not sure how good a job she's doing, either. (In retrospect, Americans shouldn't vote on this question, because how would we know.)

[next_to_normal]

Sarah's sort of a weird one, because she was raised in both England and Canada by an Irish foster mother, so her accent's kind of a muddle anyway. But Maslany also did a German and a Ukrainian accent for the other clones, so she gets points for variety. :)
