“US counter-terrorist drama 24 has been named as the best drama series in the annual Emmy awards in Los Angeles, with star Kiefer Sutherland also picking up the best actor award.
The innovative real-time drama and Sutherland, who plays rogue agent Jack Bauer, had been nominated for the top awards for the last five years, but finally got the recognition it deserved last night in TV’s equivalent of the Oscars.
24 received five Emmys in total on the night …”

“… Bauer, or rather actor Kiefer Sutherland, looked tanned, relaxed and — very unlike Jack — happy at Fox’s press tour party …
Sutherland, who stood with his requisite pack of Camel cigarettes in his pocket …
‘We just got the first scripts,’ he told a scrum of reporters.
He was typically sketchy on other details, but admitted things look pretty grim for Jack.
‘He’s at the end of his line. Something’s going to have to really rejuvenate him from the position that he’s in,’ said Sutherland, ‘otherwise he’s just going to be dead.’
He added that it will be interesting this coming season, which starts again in January, ‘to come from a really deep dark place and actually try to come up instead of starting from an up position and trying to go down.’ …
… Some reporters were surprised Sutherland was at the press tour at all. His show is going into a sixth season and he’s made his millions from syndication and DVD sales. This is usually the point where a big-shot like Sutherland bails, at least until that farewell season is announced.
Still, the Emmy-nominated actor feels a certain loyalty to TV critics.
‘We wouldn’t have been picked up if it wasn’t for this group five years ago,’ he said.
‘We were on the fence and teetering off it in the wrong direction.’ He added that 24 ‘has been the most amazing experience of my career to date.’”

“Kiefer Sutherland revealed Sunday in an interview with a British newspaper that expect the sixth season of ‘24′ to be more an inward journey …
The move follows in the wake of the show’s fifth season which , whilst still dealing with a country-threatening plot, was more about the characters than the large scale terrorism of earlier years. Consequently the series scored it’s best reviews and ratings yet for that season, along with twelve nominations for the upcoming Emmy Awards.”

“He’s the star of the acclaimed 24 and tonight he’ll save America one more time as the latest series reaches its climax. But life hasn’t always smiled on Kiefer Sutherland. After Brat Pack superstardom his career nosedived, then Julia Roberst ditched him. So he sought solace in rodeo riding and drink before finally finding redemption, he tells Stephanie Merritt.”
An in-depth interview with Kiefer from Sunday Newspaper The Observer, well worth a read.
