 LOS ANGELES (AP) - "The Sopranos," which towered over television with its visceral, violent depiction of a modern mob boss' world and an unparalleled finale, could dominate its last Emmy Awards. Or could it be foiled by the fresh-faced kids of "Heroes"?
The nominations announced Thursday for the 59th annual awards ceremony in September give the edge to HBO's landmark drama, whose 15 nominations were the most for any series. But the sci-fi sensation "Heroes" earned an impressive eight bids for its first season, including best drama.
Cutting-edge shows dominated the comedy series category, with "Ugly Betty" leading the charge with 11 nominations. America Ferrera, who stars in the show based on a Colombian telenovela, heard the nominations with cast mates at the home of one of the writers.
