For last week's recap click here

Notes:

added Jam 88.3 Chart Attack (7/28)

No U92 Hitlist for the week. U92 changed schedules last week and I asked DJ Joshua Yu, the man in-charge of the chart, through YM, what's the new timeslot for The Hitlist and his response was there won't be tomorrow that the countdown is on hold for the meantime.

No Max FM D30 Countdown this week and probably for good since 103.5 Max FM will be reformatted this August from dance radio to a "masa" format.

No 97.1 Baranggay LS FM chart, it was pre-empted for boxing coverage simulcast from GMA7

Showtime Grand Finals Recap

Showtime was one of the pleasant surprised on Philippine TV last year, I never thought I would enjoy that show, initially I though it will be just a cheap morning filler show from ABS CBN but well they proved me wrong as it was very entertaining show that became a trendsetter now. To be honest, I enjoyed watching Showtime more than Pilipinas Got Talent. Anyway, they held the grand finals yesterday and I really enjoyed and I kinda wished they aired it on primetime because the finals was better than the recent finale nights of ABS CBN shows (PBB Double Up and Teen Clash and Pilipinas Got Talent). I like that they started with a prayer and national anthem, it made the event more format and sincere. Then what I applaud is they also recognized the production crew and staff by introducing them and letting them walk on the stage. The "pasikat" performances of the host well is very "showbiz" but I did like Anne's On the Wings of Love number (despite the voice but Anne is so charming she could get away with it) . As for the finalists, this is my over all assessment as I posted on Showtime's thread on Pinoyexchange.com

Yung XB Gensan and Boyz Unlimited maganda talaga yung impact nila kasi may passion talaga and very focus sila at engaging panoorin. Although mas sophisticated yung performance ng Philippine Island Assassins but I agree na kung last nag perform ang PIA or BU sila mananalo.

Gusto ko pa din yung performance ng Enlighten Black Theatre dahil maganda yung concept nila and visually appealing lalo na yung Philippine map sa finale. Wala nga lang emotional pull masyado like the monthly finals performance nila. And okay sana kung may lipad stunt sila dun sa bidang lalake nung nilagyan sya nung wings akala ko lilipad sya, kung na-pull off nila yun, they could have won too.

Mortal Combat and The Showgays panalo sa entertainment value. Savannah Kids are really good ballroom dancers, I could see them competing sa dance sport in the future, swabe galaw nila kanina.

Yung sa E-crew I was waiting kung ano relevance nung ice carving and yung drawing sa number nila akala ko kasi gagamitin nila yun sa isang stunt kaya nung natapos na yung number napa "yun na yun?" ako

Kasibulan, Sensei, Beat Guyz and Perlas ng Silangan performances were simply not "pang grand finals" walang impact
My personal favorite was Enlighten Black Theater Group's performance because of the well-thought concept and amazing visuals. How I wish they won but I also like XB Gensan and their performance got me too because it was very engaging to watch so I rooted for them to win in the end, it was a classic underdog story. Here was my personal ranking of the finalists:

  1. XB Gensan
  2. Enlighten Black Theatre
  3. Philippine Island Assassins
  4. Boyz Unlimited
  5. Mortal Combat and The Showgays
  6. Savannah Kids Ballroom Dancers
  7. E Crew
  8. Perlas ng Silangan
  9. Sensei
  10. Kasibulan
  11. Beat Guys
And these were the actual scores

1. XB Gensan 9.875
2. Philippine Islands Assassin 9.7
3. Boyz Unlimited 9.625
4. Enlighten Black Theater Group 9.425
5. Mortal Combat and the Showgays 9.3
6. Savannah Kids 8.775
7. E-Crew 8.575
Perlas ng Silangan 8.575
8. Sensei 8.1
9. Kasibulan 7.375
10. Beat Guyz 7.325

I like the concept of having 40 judges and no text voting this time around.

Overall, it was an entertaining grand finals and hopefully Showtime continues to deliver :)

What Are You Thankful For?


My friend Ara invited me to join their blog Thank You Lord and I immediately accepted the invitation because I really like the blog's concept. I'm a generally optimistic person and despite facing setbacks in life, I always try to look at the brighter side of each situation. Sometimes, we need to surround ourselves with positive energy to life ourselves up and the first step is to appreciate some things about our lives that we need to thank for. Last night for example, my family experienced another nasty typhoon, the winds was so strong, I felt that they could knock off our doors and windows. It happened during the wee hours of the morning and with no electricity it was a really scary moment but thankfully nothing bad happened to us or our house for that matter. Everyday, no matter how much you feel "life sucks" you should try to see the brighter side of things and be thankful for something. It could have been worse you know.

Sigwa Gala Night





Last night was the Gala Night of "Sigwa" by Joel Lamangan. This is film is an entry for the Directors' Showcase of this year's Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival held at the CCP. The company I worked for, Beginnings at Twenty Plus, co-produced this film and actually the first venture of the company on producing films. I was asked to help out on the Gala Night and well I agreed because I want to experience it since this is something new for me. Well, I was a production assistant which basically all around, helping set up the registration booth, follow orders from bosses and stuff like that. It was tiring as expected but I really enjoyed it. Of course seeing celebrities was a delight. Oh how I love Megan Young (one of the stars of the film) she's so nice and lovely I also saw Carla Abellana which honestly I only found OK on TV but on person, wow, she's really gorgeous! She's not part of the film but she watched it with Geoff Eigenmann whose mother Gina Alajar is part of the cast. The Gala Night in general was good, there were so many people who watched! Although, we experienced some problems like the seating arrangement on the theater for example. So far the feedback I've been getting for the film is good. For example this one from TV reporter Atom Araullo (who watched the film with her girlfriend Patty Laurel).

Hopefully more good reviews will come in. Anyway, if you want to watch Sigwa here are the screening schedules:

  • July 11 / Sun 06:15 PM Bulwangang Alagad Ng Sining (CCP MKP Hall)
  • July 12 / Mon 03:30 PM Tanghalang Huseng Batute
  • July 14/ Wed 12:45 PM Tanghalang Nicanor Aberlardo (CCP Main Theatre)
  • July 16 / Thu 12:45 PM Bulwangang Alagad Ng Sining (CCP MKP Hall)
  • July 16 / Fri 09:00 PM Tanghalang Huseng Batute
  • July 17/ Sat 03:30 PM Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theatre)

2010 Emmy Awards Nominations

Wow, several surprises this year! Some quick thoughts:

- I'm sad The Big Bang Theory and even How I Met Your Mother were not nominated
- Cheers for the surprise but well deserved nominations for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights
-Surprised to see no Grey's Anatomy actress were nominated this year!
-A lot of love for Glee and Modern Family. I'm glad especially for Modern Family's domination in the supporting categories (I feel bad for Ed O'Neil but to be honest Jesse deserved the nod too)

Chart Recap Extra: Tambayan 101.9 Top 20

When 101.9 reformatted to Tambayan 101.9 late last year I was surprised to find out that they canceled their weekly countdown. Since the late 90s when I started my radio charts addiction, a weekly countdown has always been a staple of 101.9 from WRR to WRR For Life to 101.9 For Life Alam Mo Na Yan to Bespren 101.9 For Life. The weekly countdown from 101.9 stayed despite the numerous rebranding several years, it was already called Top Hits Express then morphed into Saturday Top 40 then eventually changing to Saturday Top 20. It was always on a Saturday. 101.9 was the only masa station in Mega Manila to consistently have a weekly countdown over the years.
I was really sad when they reformatted to Tambayan 101.9 they did not have a music countdown. It just feels different. Now after nine months, I was surprised to see when I was checking the Spam folder in my e-mail updates from the multiply page of Tambayan 101.9 (I rarely open my multiply accountsthese days). And what are those updates? TAMBAYAN TOP 20! I was surprised to see that but glad to know that Tambayan's countdown is back. But not really. There is really no countdown show yet, let me share the response from Tambayan 101.9 when I sent an e-mail asking what is the schedule of their countdown.

Sa ngayon, hindi pa umeere ang countdown ng Tambayan 101.9 dahil pinag
aaralan naming mabuti kung paano pa mapapaganda at mapapabuti ang countdownpara mas ma enjoy at ma appreciate ng mga tambayers na katulad mo namahilig sa countdown.

Ulit, maraming maraming salamat sa iyo at sana mag patuloy pa rin ang
suporta mo sa Tambayan 101.9.

I hope a formal countdown show will return soon in the 101.9 radio frequency. Anyway, here are the three editions of Tambayan Top 20 as posted on their multiply account [http://tambayan1019.multiply.com/journal]

2010 Emmy Watch Part 3





For the final part of my 2010 Emmy Watch blog posts, I will discuss which shows I predict will get the six slots each for Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Drama Series.Last year, there were seven nominees for each category,this became possible because of ties but officially there should be only six nominees. Once again, this list shows the program which I believe WILL get the nod and not who I WANT to get it. You can read the first part here and the second part here

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES

Breaking Bad (AMC)


Mad Men (AMC)


Dexter (Showtime)


Lost (ABC)


The Good Wife (CBS)


House (FOX)



Wildcards:

Damages (FX)


True Blood (HBO)


Two-time winner Mad Men is definitely coming back and it seems that it will face stiff competition with fellow AMC show Breaking Bad as many critics have been raving that the third season is the show's best. Breaking Bad has been noticed by the Academy before and with a stronger critical acclaim this time around, it's no denying that this show is a lock for a nomination. A very strong arc that highlighted strong performances of Michael C. Hall and guest star John Lithgow will carry Dexter to another nomination. Lost's final season was the most buzzed and although critics and fans have been divided on the quality of the final season, I can't see the Academy ignoring Lost for one final shot for Best Drama. The last two slots are up for grabs and I give the edge to two broadcast dramas over the ones coming from cable The Good Wife has been well-reviewed and Juliana's powerful performance might also give a halo effect to the series itself. It also does not hurt that the show 's cast got a nomination on the Screen Actors Guild Awards this year. Consensus on the previous season of House was that it was so-so but let's take note that most of the voters based their choices on the screeners sent by studios and House has episodes that could catapult them to another nomination (the season 6 premiere for example). And let's remember that House was never out of the Emmy radar. Damages has been nominated for the past two years while it's likely they will get a nod again for what is presumed the final season of the show (it has not been officially canceled yet but it will most likely go that way given the anemic ratings and how expensive the show is to produce) it is vulnerable for a shout out since Damages has lost the buzz it had on it's first two seasons. Meanwhile, True Blood's second season which is up for contention experienced great critical support and also a growing, passionate fanbase that raised this show's profile and it's from HBO, never count that out when impressing Emmy voters. But this is still a fantasy show which is not an Emmy-friendly material especially for older voters. Will True Blood break the stigma? Let's wait and see.

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES

30 Rock (NBC)



Glee (FOX)



Modern Family (ABC)



Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)


The Big Bang Theory (CBS)



Entourage (HBO)



Wildcards:

The Office (NBC)


Parks and Recreation (NBC)




This category will be exciting to watch. For now, three-time winner and titleholder 30 Rock is a lock for a nomination despite underwhelming reviews of the show the past season. New shows Modern Family and Glee are also locks for nominations given how strong the support for the aforementioned shows are. Curb Your Enthusiasm's previous season featured a well-reviewed faux Seinfeld reunion arc that is too irresistible for the Emmys to ignore. The last two slots will be a bloodbath, I could think of at least 7 shows that could fill my alternates list but then of course if I write all of them there then this prediction would have been lame and too safe,right? I give The Big Bang Theory the edge over previous multi-cam nominees Two and Half Men and How I Met Your Mother mainly because this season saw the show catapulted from being a cult favorite to a ratings powerhouse but still critically well -loved which is what is perceived as the type of show the Emmys want to have on its roster of nominees. Adding the show's Emmy aggressive campaign, The Big Bang Theory is for me a safe bet for a nomination. Entourage has been receiving negative reviews for the past years but the Emmy voters didn't care and they're consistently nominated and I would not be surprise if they are still nominated this year. The Office is a frequent nominee but with the onslaught of new and emerging sitcoms the show is vulnerable plus it does not help that the consensus is that the previous season was show's weakest. But for what is worth, the show still had strong episodes like Jim and Pam's wedding the could carry them to snatch a slot. Parks and Recreation six-episode first season was not received well (just like The Office) and the Emmys ignored it at the same time but the second season of the show raised the show's profile from being horrible to be one of the best comedy on TV (just like The Office) . Will Parks and Recreation follow the path of The Office? Will the voters notice how much the show has improved or did they already wrote this show off after the underwhelming first season? Let's wait and see. ;)

***

And that concludes my 2010 Primetime Emmy Watch series and announcement of nominees will be on July 8, Thursday Morning in the US (and Wednesday evening here in the Philippines.). Hopefully there will be an exciting set of nominees this year although as usual I'm prepared to be disappointed to see similar names nominated over and over again. But I'm really hoping this time it won't be the case.

2010 Emmy Watch Part 2



This the second part of my predictions on the possible contenders for the major awards for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards. Yesterday, I discussed my predicted nominees for the acting categories in a Drama series so today let's go on the other and discuss the acting categories for a Comedy series. I find this category more exciting with so many new comedy shows that emerged the past season. Let me remind that this list is base on who I think WILL be nominated and not who I WANT to be nominated.

(To read the first part of my predictions click here)

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES

Jon Cryer as Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men (CBS)
Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold on Entourage (HBO)
Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute on The Office (NBC)
Ty Burrel as Phil Dunphy of Modern Family (ABC)
Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker of Modern Family (ABC)

Wildcards:

Kevin Dillon as Johnny Chase on Entourage (HBO)
Ed O'Neil as Jay Pritchett on Modern Family (ABC)

Last year's winner Jon Cryer is a safe bet for another nod same goes to frequent nominees Harris and Wilson. Piven was snubbed last year which I attribute to the bad press he received last year because of the cancellation of his plays. But he still is a three-time winner so don't count out a return this year. The entire Modern Family cast submitted in the supporting categories and I think that Burrel and Stonestreet had the strongest material all season long. But never count out TV veteran O'Neil and last year's nominee Dillon (if Piven is snubbed again he might take his slot because well I just think the Academy's love for Entourage is still alive despite harsh critic reviews). Last year both Tracy Morgan and Jack McBrayer 30 Rock were nominated and they could show up again but with the Modern Family guys now competing and with an uneven season of 30 Rock, those two are likely out of the radar.


OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester on Glee (FOX)
Sofia Vergara as Gloria Delgado Pritchett on Modern Family (ABC)
Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty (ABC)
Kristen Wiig as Various Characters on Saturday Night Live (NBC)
Elizabeth Perkins as Celia Hodes on Weeds (Showtime)
Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock (NBC)

Wildcard:

Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy on Modern Family (ABC)

Last year's winner was Kristin Chenoweth from the canceled Pushing Daisies so this category is wide open. Jane Lynch has the most buzz and a well-respected actress so it's a sure thing that she will receive a nomination. Frequent nominees Williams and Perkins are safe bets and a second nomination for both Krakowski and Wiig are likely too. Vergara and Bowen might fight for the last slot (or both could get a nod) but if there will be one from Modern Family who will get the nod, I think Vergara has the stronger material (plus it does not hurt that she will announce the nominees).

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Toni Colette as Tara Gregson/Alice/Buck/T on United States of Tara (Showtime)
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock (NBC)
Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton on Nurse Jackie (Showtime)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Christine Campbell of The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS)
Patricia Heaton as Frankie Heck of The Middle (ABC)
Lea Michelle as Rachel Berry on Glee (Fox)

Wildcards:

Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation (NBC)
Courtney Cox-Arquette as Jules Cobb on Cougar Town (ABC)
Mary Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin on Weeds (Showtime)

This is the most competitive category in my opinion because of the number of actress strong enough to get a nod. Last year's winner Colette and previous winners Dreyfus and Fey are safe bets while newcomer (to the comedy field) Falco had the buzz and reputation to gain a nod. The last two slots will be a tight battle but I given Heaton an edge because of previous recognition from Everybody Loves Raymond and Michelle is the centerpiece of the most buzzed show of the past season. But never count out frequent nominee Parker. Poehler is also a well-respected comedian coming from a sitcom that has received a lot of rave reviews for its second season. Cox was the only star from Friends that never got a nomination but her performance in Cougar Town has been well received and I sense that there might be a strong support for her to finally get her first Emmy nomination. This is the category to watch for.

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES

Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock (NBC)
Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk on Monk (USA)
Larry David as Larry David as on Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
Steve Carell as Michael Scott on The Office (NBC)
Joel McHale as Jeff Winger Community (NBC)


Wildcards:

Charlie Sheen as Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men (CBS)
Matthew Morrison as Will Schuester on Glee (Fox)

I don't see any hindrance for two-time winner Alec Baldwin not to get a nod. Parsons broke out in this category last year and with the show's profile raised this season, it's no denying that Parson's nomination last year was no fluke. Carell is a frequent nominee (and sadly loser), another nomination is almost sure. Shalhoub is a three-time winner and has been nominated for each season of the show's existence and with the show ending last season he will surely get another nomination. David just came from a well-reviewed season of Curb Your Enthusiasm that focused on a faux-Seinfeld reunion, it's a strong material for a nod. McHale is my wild guess for a nomination and to be honest the only reason I'm predicting him to be nominated is because he along with Sofia Vergara will announce the nominees (more often than not those invited to be announce the nominees are nominated themselves) and frequent nominee Sheen had bad press last year with his marital troubles and following with what happen to Piven last year "bad press = no nomination" so I strongly think that he will be ignored this year but Sheen still got a nomination in the Screen Actors Guild this year so he is not a long shot for a nod either. Morrison's role isn't really comedic but if the voters really loved Glee this season he could be a recipient of the halo effect.
