Spencer had and probably to this day has had the best speech of any award winner. He was so appreciative and passionate about his work and his winnings. God, I miss him. ;(
Glad Michael chiklis won but what i could never understand is why Walton goggins was never nominated for best supporting actor or even best actor especially season 7
@Ally20791 Ditto. The show completely flew off the radar after the first season, which is absolutely ridiculous because the show just got better and better. The performance from Goggins in those last few seasons is really something else.
@MichaelChiklisCares i don't get it these show don't get recognised but shit like two and a half men, sex and the city and the rest of the shows like this got award nominations left right and centre.
I love Bradley Whitford's elated reaction when John Spencer is announced. And Stockard Channing won for the right season. I thought she was a bit melodramatic in Seasons 1 and 2, but she found the right balance of the toughness and the sentimental in Season 3.
Martin Sheen really deserved Best Actor for Season 2 and Season 6, though.
Wow! TWW cleaned house that year! They certainly won a lot of awards in their run and deserving so but it really sucked that Martin Sheen never won ONCE. Wha????
Martin Sheen had a habit of picking episodes that did not showcase his best moments (with the exception of Two Cathedrals). He was up against James Gandolfini that year, and Tony Soprano is a hard one to beat honestly, and I love the West Wing. Gandolfini was in every episode as a lead, and he was brilliant, so I can understand the result.
@littlesparklyteacup It's a major shame. I mean, I believe he was nominated for all seven seasons, and got snubbed every time. I honestly don't understand how he could have not won for 2001 -- with the episode "Two Cathedrals" Blastphemy!
But since TWW was loaded with Emmys in other categories, it's not too bad ;)
Great to see such talented actors win; I was rooting for Six feet under that year (b/c I hadn't watched any West wing at the time), but now that I have, I can totally see why they won. The difficult dialogue that they had to produce, at such a fast pace, was electric. Louise-Parker should have been "guest actress" and she would have won no doubt; she was mesmerizing as Amy, but Channing had the screen time, and her beautiful moment at the end of "dead Irish writer," with tears in her eyes!
Sorkin wanted to make Mary Louise Parker a regular and add her to the opening credits cast. Unfortunately, his tenure on the show ended before he could make it happen.
@CatherineNightingale channing deserved to win and I'm so glad for the support she got from Janney, you can see they respect each other very much. Chaning was an exquisite First Lady.
You can tell just how good and loved a person is when fellow castmates would jump with joy at that person's win like the cast of West Wing did for John Spencer. You can clearly see just how much they adored him! Between a hug from Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford jumping with joy, and Rob Lowe mouthing an excited "yes!" with a raised fist, you knew that this cast really really was glad to see John Spencer win!!
I wonder if Channing was not well liked or something by some of the cast, because it's rare to see castmates (Maloney and Louise Parker) look so disgusted at a fellow castmate winning. They cant be surprised; As awesome as they are, they didnt have the episodes or the screen time like Channing in season three, and her submission of "Dead Irish Writers" are what emmy wins are made of. Any thoughts?
Thanks for posting this! I vaguely remember seeing Michael Chiklis win, but I hadn't yet watched "The Shield." Now that I'm a HUGE fan of "The Shield," it's cool to see his winning moment, which he definitely deserved; I'm just sorry he hasn't been recognized by The Emmys again.
michael chiklis is a dad of a kid in my school and she is in 3rd grade. I've seen him b4 at my school. and his daughters b-day is one day before mine. :)
John Spencer was born in Patterson, New Jersey! That's the same city the suspected (SUSPECTED, not really) terrorist in "Isaac and Ishmael" said he was born. =D
Thanks for this video. I love Allison Janney but she won 4 emmys while on The West Wing. Frances Conroy should have won at least 1 for her superb acting on Six Feet Under.
lauren ambrose should've definitely won this. and conroy or griffiths should've taken it. to much west wing love this year for it to be credible anyway
@vozas: I am a huge fan of both shows, and I too wish that Conroy and Ambrose had won emmys, but they had to go up against mind-blowing, powerhouse performances from Channey, and particularly Janney. Janney owned the emmys based on her talent, but I DO think that Conroy losing to Patirica Arquette in 2006 was absurd.
John Spencer's win is maybe the most deserving supporting actor win of the 00s.
Michael Chiklis totally deserved his award,too.And it was a huge surprise so this makes his win more fantastic.
Rachel Griffiths and Lauren Ambrose should've won instead of Janney and Channing,though.Their tapes may have been weak but i think they deserved an Emmy based on body of work they put in first 2 seasons of SFU.
I fucking love the shield
