I'm off work for three weeks and apparently I've got too much time on my hands.

Surfing the web I found this item:

William Shatner has been nominated for three Emmy Awards this year. One for best supporting actor for his role in "Boston Legal." Two for his television special "How William Shatner Changed the World."

But, but...everybody told me that the man can't act!?

What's up widdis?

Regards, Shuckins

He can't act his way out of a paper bag, but he has embraced it, which is why he is just flat out hilirious.

you need to hear him sing "Lucy in the sky" you'll laugh yourself half to death.

Leonard Nemoy (sp?) doing "If I had a hammer" is great as well. Two hilarious songs because spock tries to be serious and Shatner just flat out knows its bad but goes with it anyway.

Kinda like my Musical Blasphemy.

I think he's doing damn good on Boston Legal.
Was just goign to start a thread asking when he learned how to act.

Maybe its just the role but he's perfect in it.

Caught a full episode for the first time last night. Was Hillarious

good writers help.

that is not to say that he isnt part of the creation, it is to say that they are probably symbiotic and can script him as he wants to be. or something...

um.

Golfer, Rocket Man and Mr. Tambourine Man are even better.

Pure genius.

He can and does act. Every time you see or hear him he is acting.

I like Shat, always have. He is an American Icon and a damned good one too.

How can anyone not like him? He is hilarious.

Nimoy's "Bilbo Baggins" music video is a classic.

He acts just fine on Boston Legal. This is the best thing he's ever done.

Shatner IS startrek.

Kirk was the only good captian.

The whole next gen thing should be deleted and forgoten.

Plus Shatner is a funny guy.

To some extent, every actor is a slave of his script. He's had some real stinkers. The first Star Trek movie blew big time.

Yet, I developed a sneaking admiration for the man after seeing him in as Kirk in one of the best Star Trek tv scripts ever produced: Balance of Terror.

Great script. Great acting on Shatner's part, as well as all the actors involved.
