PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2006

Dear Mr. Abernethy,
I loved your article especially the comments about Kyra Sedgewick and Vincent D’Onofrio.
Clearly Criminal Intent was my favorite must see program and Mr. D’Onofrio is always brilliant as Goren. And Kathryn Erbe has progressed from a sidekick for Goren to her own very powerful Detective Eames. And now we have Kyra Sedgewick developing such a unique and clever character in The Closer.
Thrilled that Ms. Sedgewick has been recognized by the award shows but very disappointed by Mr. D’Onofrio has been ignored by these shows for several years now.
Again, thanks for spreading the word.
