I’d like to point out that “Modern Family” received (in my opinion, well-deserved) nominations for
I hope many had the chance to watch “Fed” last Friday, guest starring Benjamin Bratt.

Those interested in ‘trivia’ may like to know that it sounds like this episode of Law & Order was inspired by the Federal Census worker found dead in Kentucky with the word “FED” on his chest. Oddly, though authorities originally suspected murder, they are now saying this was a suicide:

The People Speak TV Premiere On History
The film will include dramatic and musical performances of letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans who spoke up for social change
throughout USA history.
The People Speak is inspired by Howard Zinn’s book, A People’s History of the United States and from the book he co-authored with Anthony Arnove, Voices of a People’s History. These are the voices of resistance in U.S. history – resistance to injustice, to war. Voices that are often excluded from traditional histories.
Artists and actors involved include Benjamin Bratt, Matt Damon, Marisa Tomei, Morgan Freeman, Josh Brolin, Kerry Washington, Danny Glover and Viggo Mortensen (for the full cast, see “The People Speak” Cast).

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has marked the 20th anniversary of Law & Order by honouring the U.S. cop drama with its own day.
The TV hit, created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, follows the lives of a group of police officers and prosecutors as they solve crimes in the Big Apple.
The series is currently in its 20th season and Bloomberg has officially recognised the long-running show for highlighting the city by declaring 23 September Law & Order Day.
Actor Anthony Anderson, who joined the show in 2008 as Detective Kevin Bernard, admits it was a proud day for the cast and crew, and jokes that they should be granted special privileges on Law & Order Day.
He says, “It’s big and I’m not sure what it means for us as a holiday, but since we are all police officers on the show we get free doughnuts for the day across the city every September 23rd. No, no. It’s just a piece of paper.”
The star reveals the cast and crew celebrated the honour with a party earlier this week – and were joined by former Law & Order stars including Angie Harmon and Benjamin Bratt.
And Anderson can understand why the show has been so successful over the last two decades.
He adds, “There was a load of old cast members there… some I didn’t know. But while I was there, I realised why it’s been so successful for 20 years, it’s because of the love that was there, it was like a family reunion.”
