Fifth time is apparently the charm if you're Kiefer "Jack Bauer" Sutherland. He'd been nominated for an acting Emmy five years in a row for his role in 24, but lost out the first four times. This time around, however, he managed to win!The show also received an award for best drama series. About time too that 24 receives some recognition. There are (far too) many of these serialized drama-thrillers on TV these days, that is series whose episodes aren't self-contained but rather small parts of a larger, long-term plot, stretching out over one or several seasons. Lost and Prison Break are other good examples. But 24 is truly the grand-daddy of the genre, and five seasons running, no one does it better.
Congrats to The Kiefer!
