Variety mentions BSG emmy hopes
The more I read, it seems that everyone is pulling for Battlestar Galactica to get noticed! Check out what Variety has to say:
Bonnie Hammer knows that "Battlestar Galactica""Battlestar Galactica" is alien to most Emmy voters.
The critically acclaimed skeinskein isn't one that fits in the kudofest's universe: It's set in space. On the Sci Fi Channel. With a largely unknown cast.
Three strikes? Not according to the president of USA Network and Sci Fi, who believes the show deserves an Emmy nom for drama so much that she's putting her money where her mouth is. Hammer's team is spending what insiders peg to be more than $1 million on the Emmy campaign behind "Galactica" -- hefty coincoin for a basic-cable net.
Can any one think of shows in the past with so many industry insiders on their side? It seems that everyone that watches the show tends to dig it. I can't help but hope a few Emmy voters can be swayed! Let's all hope together! Go! Now! You aren't hoping hard enough!!
The Shield came out of no where and won for best drama in season 1.
