There are several things that I can tell you about any given awards season: The shows and films I like probably will be snubbed. The awards telecast will have a number of sucker punches coming from my left. And the

Last night’s Emmy Awards telecast featured liberal comic Jimmy Kimmel as host and feted the hatched job known as HBO’s “Game Change.” Is it any wonder the telecast’s ratings drooped from 2011’s edition? Early ratings numbers for the 2012 Emmy Awards are

Jimmy Kimmel began his performance at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner with a special edition of “Unnecessary Censorship,” a bit from his late night TV show.
