Charlie Sheen

Nomination:

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series - Two and a Half Men

Charlie Sheen's roles in Oliver Stone’s gritty Vietnam War drama “Platoon” (1986) and Stone’s bleak portrait of Reagan-era greed, “Wall Street” (1987), gave the actor his big break in Hollywood, but those films proved to be anomalies in a career characterized by laughs. During the nineties, Sheen found a niche in light comedies that banked on his good looks and flair for deadpan delivery, though even blockbuster spoofs like “Hot Shots” (1991) were overshadowed by Sheen’s real-life penchant for prostitutes, cocaine, and loquacious bravado. The notorious bad boy finally hit on a successful formula after a decade of being the butt of Hollywood jokes, when he began laughing at himself. His own genuinely funny brand of comedy emerged and he went on to enjoy primetime acclaim; first with a Golden Globe-winning run on the sitcom “Spin City” (ABC, 1996-2002), followed by his role as an unapologetic, swinging bachelor on “Two and a Half Men” (CBS, 2003- ). An extremely popular fixture within CBS’s powerful comedy lineup, Sheen received three consecutive Emmy nominations for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role on “Men” in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and Golden Globe nominations in 2005 and 2006

According to the Washington Post, 6 out of 10 of the members from the 9/11 commission indicated the investigation was a fraud. Charlie's just asking for a reinvestigation. A more than fair request. It's pretty obvious something stinks here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/01/AR2006080101300.html

Congratulations to Charlie Sheen on his big win! All two and a half of them, well almost three (Jake is growing up fast!) are excellent actors. The chemistry and timing are excellent ... they each deserve an Emmy - not to take away from Charlie's win. Can you tell that I love the show??? lol
