I would like to thank the academy

Sunday, August 13, 8PM ET, The History Channel. "Countdown to Ground Zero." No, it's not a tie-in to Oliver Stone's film. The budget for this documentary would have covered about 90 minutes of shooting for Mr. Stone. But it includes interviews with real people, and sometimes that's even more compelling than Nick Cage looking grim.

And if you look closely at the guy sitting across from John O'Neil in Elaine's, with the blue shirt and the glasses, you'll get a preview of this year's Emmy awards.

Actually what you'll see is a very sick, uncomfortable art director who happened to bear a passing resemblance to the actual person he's playing.

Then again, not every reviewer seemed to think so:
"Countdown is the better of the two, though that won't be immediately apparent because the broadcast relies on the always tricky, occasionally dubious and often laughable technique of re-creations. Why dubious? Because (really) who can ever know for certain whether a re-created scene is a good approximation or a complete bastardization? And laughable because the acting in these scenes is hardly Emmy-caliber (nor is it ever)."
