Boston Legal: Award Show also-rans or Trophy Titans?
Ah, Boston Legal. The land of sharp suits, even sharper wit, and legal eagles with questionable ethics (but undeniable charm). But did their courtroom theatrics translate to awards show glory? Let's grab a martini (shaken, not stirred, of course) and delve into the trophy cabinet, shall we?
A Shower of Nominations, But Did They Win Big?
Boston Legal racked up a whopping 62 award nominations during its five-season run. That's a lot of backslaps and "attaboys" from the industry. But when it came to taking home the golden statuettes, things get a tad...complicated.
The show itself was never awarded the prestigious Outstanding Drama Series Emmy. Think of it as the Benjamin Linus of the award show world: always the bridesmaid, never the bride. [Cue sad trombone sound]
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.

They Didn't Win Everything, But They Sure Made Us Laugh
