I am one of apparently a relatively small number of people who very much enjoyed Star Trek: Enterprise which was cancelled at the end of this, its fourth season on UPN. Well the Emmys were announced today and the show has been nominated for three, all in technical categories, specifically:

Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup For A Series, Miniseries, Movie Or A Special (Prosthetic) - Michael G. Westmore, Makeup Supervisor, and his team have been nominated in this category every year since 1991 and have won the award four times. This year their work on "United" was honoured. Enterprise will compete against Nip/Tuck, as it did last year, as well as Carnivale, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers and MADtv.

Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series - Michael Moore and his team of stylists will compete against Carnivale and MADtv in this category as well, plus Alias, American Dreams and Deadwood. The two-part episode "In a Mirror, Darkly" was singled out for this nomination.

Outstanding Stunt Coordination - Vince Deadrick Jr. was selected for his management of the stunts in Augments episodes "Borderland" and "Cold Station 12". Alias was also cited in this category, along with 24, ER and The Last Ride.

Interestingly, these were the only three Emmy nominations that UPN received this year. So they have cancelled what was apparently their best quality program. Rather typical of a network, I suppose. Like the comedy Scrubs,, which received four Emmys. But of course, NBC cancelled it this year, too.

Ah well. At least Numb3rs was renewed on CBS.
