I think that was such a crowded, difficult category with so many great people. And, you know, he’s 20 years old and this is the first thing he’s ever done. He literally got off a bus in Clovis and walked in, and we wrote the part for him. I was just like a proud papa with him. People love his character [Kurt], and I think it was risky for him to be that young and play somebody who was so forthright and out and proud and struggling and flawed. But he stepped into those shoes and embraced it and made it his own. I think that he’s done so much for young people and showed them so much.”
Supporting-actor contender CHRIS COLFER on being nominated along with TV dad Mike O’Malley: “It means the world to me because I honestly couldn’t do what I do without him being such an awesome, awesome actor and a great person to work with. I’m more excited [about his nod] than I am about mine because he deserves it and puts his whole heart into everything he does. I’m so, so happy. I feel like his own kid because I am so proud of him.”
Leading lady LEA MICHELE on sharing this experience with good friend (and fellow nominee) Matthew Morrison: “I’ve known Matt for years now, and every time these things happen we have these moments where we are like, ‘Wow.’ From working on Broadway to being nominated for Golden Globes together and now an Emmy. It’s just unbelievable how life has been these days.”

Date: 2010-07-10 07:55 am (UTC)But... I don't think Glee is a comedy, at least not anymore than, say, Gossip Girl. Always thought it was strange that they lump musicals in with comedies, when the equivalent show sans music would be classed as a drama.
Ah well.

I don't think either classification takes anything away from the show as a whole. Rather, I think that it's such an amalgamation of different genres that it messes with the very human tendency to want to classify everything and put them into boxes.
I think I got a little too deep into this... :)

the very human tendency to want to classify everything and put them into boxes
That is certainly how the brain generally works - and there's so many examples of big things having happened because of it (good, bad, and otherwise).
But in this case... I hadn't actually thought to classify the show as anything other than "awesome" until the Emmy nominations. I've just always thought the fact that the Emmys lump musicals in with the comedies was... wrong. They're basically saying they think ANY show with music CAN'T be a drama and I've always disagreed with that narrow perspective.
I think the best shows, though, are ones that mix elements - drama and comedy at least, but then throw in suspense and supernatural and music and....
The "comedy" classification seems to be a problem, though - not just in tv with the Emmys but with movies as well. There was a movie a while back called "The Weatherman" and all the ads for it made it look like a comedy, but I ended up seeing the movie and it was so NOT a comedy - it had some humorous moments (basically all the ones from the ads) but as a whole it was this dark, sombre, serious personal journey of a very unfulfilled man. It was a drama - definitely. Yet, it was billed as a comedy. Maybe I wouldn't have seen it if it had been billed as a drama, but, if I had seen it knowing it was a drama, I wouldn't have been disappointed because my expectations of a comedy had gone so completely unfulfilled.
So, yeah, it's not always good to put things into boxes (or to label them), because that then leads to expectations which may or may not be fulfillable. And I do hate to be disappointed. I'd rather not know and then be pleasantly surprised!
I didn't know much about Glee before I watched the pilot - didn't know if it was a comedy or a drama - so I didn't have any expectations either way. I think, now, at least in the case of the Emmys, I would have put it in with the dramas - but if I were describing it to my friends, which I have, I don't think I'd explicitly use either the word "comedy" or "drama" as part of that description.
OTOH, I could have just said "Thanks for posting" and we wouldn't have started talking at all. So, yeah, that's where "a little too deep" gets ya!
