It wasn’t a volley of brickbats that garnered my attention to speak on Falco’s behalf!

Yet, I kept wondering what it was that the event managers had in their minds when they stumbled upon this wacky idea!

Those words are definitely not being spelled out in a fit of rage; there is a sense of bemusement.

Guys, I’m talking about the Emmys 2011, in which actress Edie Falco had also received a nomination.

Ok, it wasn’t for the soap opera that gave us a sneak-peek into the life of a mobster (The Sopranos), but shouldn’t we be happy that at least our favorite actress received a nomination. It was for her performance in the show ‘Nurse Jackie’.

When the name of the winner in the category of ‘Best Actress in a Comedy’ was to be announced, all the nominees were called upon the stage. Edie Falco came along with Tina Fey, Martha Plimpton, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Poehler and Laura Linney.

When the winner’s crown had to go to Melissa McCarthy, I was wondering why that pageant was held on stage!

I don’t have anything against Melissa, but then wasn’t it a sort of embarrassment for the likes of Edie and others?

That reminds me that in case we are missing the show really badly, we can go for The Sopranos download and track the life of a mobster, Tony Soprano, who strives to lead a harmonious life.

Beside the protagonist, one would also watch out for the ancillary characters, like Tony’s wife, Carmela, played by Edie Falco.

The actress is happy that at least the shows she vouched for didn’t quite make it in the list, such as ‘The first 48’ and ‘Househunters’.

There was certainly no official exclamation of resentment from the quarters of Ms. Falco, but then, we do hope she had a moment to feel happy about instead of flaunting that plastic, oops, perfect smile!
