Sopranos dominam os Emmy

No último ano de produção, "Os Sopranos" ganhou domingo o Emmy para a melhor série dramática de televisão, enquanto James Spader ("Boston Legal") e Sally Field ("Irmãos e irmãs") foram premiados com os galardões destinados a actores.

Considerados os equivalentes em televisão aos Óscares do cinema, os Emmy distinguiram, na categoria de drama, aquelas três séries, que já passaram ou ainda estão a passar nos canais televisivos portugueses.

Na cerimónia de entrega dos prémios da 59ª edição dos Emmy, apresentada por Jon Stewart, o galardão para melhor série cómica foi para "30 rock", sobre os bastidores de uma "sitcom", cabendo ao inglês Ricky Gervais ("Extras", já exibido na televisão portuguesa) e à norte-americana-hondurenha America Ferreira ("Betty Feia", igualmente já exibida em Portugal) os prémios para actores.

"Broken Trail" foi considerada a melhor mini-série e deu ao veterano Robert Duvall o prémio de melhor actor nesta categoria, enquanto "Bury my heart at Wounded Knee" recebeu o galardão para melhor telefilme.

Helen Mirren, que tinha ganho o Óscar para melhor actriz com "A Rainha", foi outra das vencedoras dos Emmy, distinguida com o prémio para melhor actriz em mini-série pelo seu papel em "Prime Suspect: Final Act".
