Congratulations to Sean Callery who has won the 2010 Emmy for Best Musical Score in a Drama Series for the 24 series finale! This is Callery’s third Emmy win, the other two being Day 2: 10:00pm-11:00pm (George Mason’s farewell) and Day 5: 6:00am-7:00am (the Season 5 finale). Callery has been nominated for every season of the show and 24: Redemption. How about releasing another 24 soundtrack now, FOX?

Here’s a photo gallery of Mary Lynn Rajskub on the red carpet at the 62nd Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards and presenting an award with 24 co-creator Joel Surnow. 24 composer Sean Callery picked up yet another Emmy win for best musical score in a drama series tonight. Congratulations, Sean!
24‘s Mary Lynn Rajskub arrives at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards on August 8, 2010. Mary Lynn was nominated for choice TV actress along with co-star Katee Sackhoff, but both of them lost to Yvonne Strahovski of Chuck.
24 has received five Emmy nominations for its final season, bringing it’s total nominations to 68 across the entire series run. Unfortunately no nominations were given to Kiefer Sutherland or Annie Wersching (both gave incredible performances), nor was 24 nominated for best drama.
Probably the best acceptance speech I’ve ever seen. Kiefer Sutherland pokes fun at the weird-looking trophy saying it will come in handy at the bar later and then tells all the 24 fans that “You guys fuckin’ rock” while flipping the bird. We love you too, Kiefer!
Kiefer Sutherland will be on Spike TV’s Guy Choice Awards 10PM tonight – he won the “Biggest Ass Kicker” award. No competition there, Jack Bauer rocks!
Carlos Bernard’s (24‘s Tony Almeida) new comedy series Scoundrels premieres on ABC tonight at 9PM.
The 2010 Teen Choice Award nominees were announced and 24 is up for 4 awards.
24 was nominated for “Choice TV Show: Action” (with Burn Notice, Chuck, Human Target, and NCIS: Los Angeles). Kiefer Sutherland was nominated for “Choice TV Actor: Action” (alongside Jeffrey Donovan of Burn Notice, Zachary Levi of Chuck, LL Cool J of NCIS: Los Angeles, and Mark Valley of Human Target).
Cherry Jones has sent LA Times an email to set the record straight and explain her decision not to submit herself for an Emmy this year. Unlike speculation, it’s not because of any drama with the writers or her storylines. Here’s her full email:
Hey Tom,
Cherry Jones here writing from balmy Manhattan. I wanted to clear up the mystery surrounding my not submitting myself for Emmy consideration.
LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 05: Actor Kiefer Sutherland receives the Biggest Ass Kicker Award onstage during Spike TV’s 4th Annual ‘Guys Choice Awards’ held at Sony Studios on June 5, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. ‘Guys Choice’ premieres June 20, 2010 at 10PM ET/PT on Spike.
Ooh, drama. In a surprising move, Cherry Jones (24‘s President Allison Taylor, who won best supporting actress in a drama last year) has pulled out of the Emmy race and is refusing to comment on the matter.
Jones didn’t seem all that pleased about the direction her character took in the final episodes, telling Entertainment Weekly in an interview last month “President Taylor lost her marbles” and “Each script I got, I’d look at it and go, ‘Really? REALLY?’”.
Despite Taylor’s sudden behavior shift (which was necessary for the final storyline arc to work), I believe Cherry put on a great performance. Cherry certainly had Emmy-quality acting material in 24 Season 8.
Cherry Jones interviewed on the 24 set. She talks about what it’s like working on the show and we also get to see her post-Emmy win speech to the crew. Such a nice lady!
Cherry Jones role in 24 season 7 was nominated for Best “Supporting Actress in Series, Miniseries/Motion Picture Made for TV” at the 14th Annual Satellite Awards – the very same category that Cherry won an Emmy for earlier this year. Here’s hoping she has a repeat performance.
Cherry’s competition is Jane Lynch (Glee), Judy Parfitt (Little Dorrit), Chloe Sevigny (Big Love), Anika Noni Rose (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency), and Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty).
Guardian’s Richard Vine lists 24 along with Breaking Bad, Lost and Prison Break as TV shows that made a fantastic first impression. All good choices, and a good reasoning for 24:
Hard to beat for breathless, don’t-even-stop-to-think pacing. Jack gets a midnight call to head to the CTU offices – and as if a mole in the organisation and a major terrorist threat to the first African American presidential candidate (hey, this was 2002!) wasn’t enough to pack into one episode, he’s also got to deal with the news that his teenage daughter has gone AWOL. And by introducing viewers to that pounding digital clock, it was also the first show that dared to announce how much time it had left to entertain you – a surprisingly effective device to keep you coming back.
Cherry Jones and Howard Gordon were interviewed at FOX’s Emmy After Party regarding her Emmy win and the upcoming eighth season of the show. Former 24 director and executive producer Jon Cassar was also there to congratulate his old pals.
Executive Producer and writer Howard Gordon said “the moment I saw her first set of dailies, I knew this would happen”. Jon Cassar says he “couldn’t be happier for Cherry, she just did such a great job on our show in season 7 and I think if anyone deserves it, she definitely did.”
Cherry reveals that they’re ten episodes into the season and President Taylor’s family situation hasn’t come up yet, but it may in the back half of the season. She enjoys working with Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor who her character is “locked in deep diplomacy with” at the United Nations. “We’ve had a lot of fun together, he’s a lovely man” says Jones.
