Television: January 2005 Archives
Happy Wednesday! We continue our coverage of The Big Reveal with our next Category, Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Broadcast Program.
Our next category, which took place from 10:50am to 11:35am on Saturday, was Outstanding Visual Effects in a Broadcast Miniseries, Movie, or Special. I have not seen these shows on TV at all, but needless to say, having been in the broadcast visual effects business, I can see what kind of pressure these artists are under!
Our second session of the day involves the category Outstanding Visual Effects in a Commercial. A bit shorter than our motion picture category, this as well had three nominees. British Telecom: Network, Citroën: Alive with Technology, and Johnny Walker: Tree.
24 has started again. Tonight was their two hour season premiere. It's one of the only shows that I can still catch on TV, and only because I can get FOX through the airwaves! Somehow they still can keep the show fresh and entertaining, despite the fact that you know Jack is going to get into trouble, one way or the other! If you have 72 hours to kill, I definitely recommend picking up seasons One through Three. They're very good.
Another great series I got into was The Shield. I was able to rent Seasons 1 and 2 off of Netflix, and am waiting for the third. Definitely a gritty show. A season is 13 episodes, and they're very addicting.
