While Gold Derby posted the news of TCA award winners as they were announced live at the Beverly Hilton, the Television Critics Association didn't bother featuring the winners' list on its own website till this morning! That's more than 8 hours after the trophies were bestowed by journalists who, apparently, 1.) don't consider their own awards newsworthy, 2.) don't take their jobs as journalists seriously or 3.) suddenly remembered the website through foggy hangovers earned after tossing back all those fruity drinks with Alec Baldwin and Masi Oka around the Hilton pool at the after-party.

But, wait! I shouldn't be so skeptical. This just in from TCA board member Aaron Barnhart of the Kansas City Star, who explains the reason for the oversight — CLICK HERE! (Or see blog item below.)

I asked a TCA member who writes for one of America's most powerful newspapers what she thought of the award results. She rolled her eyes and harrumphed about how ridiculous it is giving "Planet Earth" awards that seem so inconsistent: "It can't be both a news show and a miniseries, can it, really?"

By the way, please note what program did not win anything: "The Wire." Oooops, wait! It's never won an award — ever — from these TV critics who love to bash the Emmys for failing to hail its greatness. At the TCA cocktail reception, several members got angry at me for pointing out this hypocrisy. When they were done fuming about what idiots the Emmys are for failing to nominate it this year, I pointed out that TCA did the same. They looked at me with fury, grumbled a few words, spun around on their heels and marched away.

Oh, yeah, TCA still hasn't honored "Battlestar Galactica" either, but at least that's still on TV — there's still hope (ahem). Read more about TCA snubs — CLICK HERE.

Later in the evening, when he accepted the Heritage prize, he turned to presenter, Alan Sepinwall of the Newark Star-Ledger, quipping, "You're from New Jersey. Will you tell these people that it's possible to be sitting in a restaurant in New Jersey and everything just stops!" Then he said he'd like to comment on the "Sopranos" ending by revealing that he, frankly, never understood the last scene of a certain film classic: "When I was 23 years old and still in college, I saw 'Planet of the Apes' with my wife. Afterwards, I said, 'See! They have a Statue of Liberty, too!'"
