Peter Jackson’s World War I documentaryThey Shall Not Grow Oldis not an easy movie to watch, but it is a necessary one.

While the Television Academy has been prone to some more out-there choices as of late (Jeff Danielsfor Best Actor, anyone?) this year’s show marked a pretty significant snub of a show that was once an Emmy Darling:Mad Men. The series fell out of favor in its fifth season, failing to breakThe West Wing’s record and land five Best Drama Series Emmys in a row....
