Leighton Meester is so overlooked, just because she's on a teen soap. At last someone gives her recognition!

what a surprise, Ausiello didn't have any One Tree Hill. We all know why because he hates the show but thats ok, its the best teen soap ever.

Or maybe he knew that other shows deserved recognition more than OTH did - as hard as that may be for you to believe.

^^^One tree hill is getting really good and the only thing that is keeping me interested in Gossip Girl is Chuck and Blair.

I think Chuck will get renewed. It just needs to be moved by NBC to a different day. Mondays is killing it.

Chiklis and Goggins were superb this year and Goggins has been on a role since Season 5 of The Shield.
