I'm with Le Nub -- Downton Abbey was clearly the winner. Did Maggie Smith get at least a supporting nod?
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Did Maggie Smith get at least a supporting nod?
No. Downton Abbey got three nominations overall, Best Drama Series, Best Supporting Actor (Brendan Coyle) and the Audience Award (which was won by reality tv travesty, "The Only Way is Essex").
It did win some of the technical awards, though, including Best Direction.

I liked Downton Abbey a lot, but I thought Sherlock was more fun and more innovative. Just for the production design alone it was better than almost any other drama last year (I loved how the sets and costumes combined Victorian-era London with the present day city - making London quirky and adventurous and unexpected again.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Agreed entirely.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I don't like the slimmer shoulders and I think the waist sits a little funny, but it might look cleaner in motion. But other than that I think it looks good.
I'm amused that I have more opinions about the coat than I do about the series. (Won't ever stop being bitter about Ianto, apparently.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I didn't think my perpetual bitterness about Ianto needed to be restated.
