James Spader takes Emmy for Boston Legal
In one of the biggest upsets of the night, James Gandolfini misses out on his final chance at Emmy glory for “The Sopranos” to James Spader of “Boston Legal.” “I feel like I just stole a pile of money from the mob and they’re sitting right over there,” Spader said at the ceremony.
A full list of winners and losers can be found here.
This is the 3rd Emmy James Spader has received for portraying the often ethically challenged Alan Shore. He previous wins came in 2005 for “Boston Legal” and in 2004 when portrayed the same character on “The Practice.”
Spader is great on Legal, but I would have had a hard time voting for him over Gandolfini. Is James Spader really more deserving than James Gandolfini.? Whether he is or not you can catch the newly minted Emmy winner along with Denny Crane in a special 90-minute premiere following the “Dancing with the Stars” premiere September 25.

Spader is a great actor in the role of his life, but I agree that this seemed out of place. The best thing to come from this win will be the attention it directs toward Boston Legal in general. And, while I love Terry O'Quinn on LOST, William Shatner really did deserve the Supporting actor Emmy for BL's "Son of the Defender." What a shame.
