After last year's mess of an awards show and this year's joke of nominations (where is love for Lauren Graham, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences?), we were going to swear off this year's Emmys. But then we realized Conan O'Brien was hosting, so we must watch and liveblog. And there's the hope of a good Steve Carrell bit, not to mention awkward reaction shots of Candy and Tori Spelling during the Aaron Spelling tribute.

With the Golden Globes happening this past weekend, everybody catching up on big winners were that Kate Beckinsale looks awesome in leather, and somehow this guy convinced her to marry him.

- Nicolette Sheridan does not look over-Botoxed with fish lips!

It's all about Brokeback these days: This morning, Kate Beckinsale, Mark Wahlberg, and Steve Carrell announced the 63rd Annual Golden Globe nominations, and Brokeback Mountain walked away with 7 nominations, including Best Picture (Drama), Director, Actor, Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams). Match Point, the unreleased Woody Allen movie, also got nods in Picture and Director, plus Supporting Actress Scarlett Johnanssen. As for the TV nominations, the ladies of Wisteria Lane took four leading actress nominations, giving Weeds' Mary Louise Parker a good shot of winning, though Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross were fierce this year. We do want to say this, though: Kristen Bell, you were robbed!

Some of the werewolf effects reminded us of Beckinsale's recent movie, Underworld, which was underwhelming. She's got that glinty, "I'm a vampire" look in her eyes during the trailer, which should be good for a third act twist in Van Helsing.

The vampire-werewolf movie, Underworld, looks like it was shot on leftover sets from The Matrix, not to mention copiously uses the bullet-time special effects The Matrix made popular. Even Kate Beckinsale's outfit cops the Trinity latex bodysuit.

- Ebert compares Kate Beckinsale's overachieving MD-Ph.D. candidate character to Ally Sheedy's character in High Art, Laurel Canyon director Lisa Chodolenko's first feature. Wrong wrong wrong: Ally Sheedy's character is a heroin addicted artist whose lifestyle entices an up and coming book editor, played with a touch of the naif by Radha Mitchell.
