A lot of the cast are actors nominated to Oscars (Richard Jenkins, Rachel Griffiths, Patricia Clarkson, James Cromwell, Kathy Bates). But everyone is wonderful!
Most annoying character
Lisa Kimmel Fisher played very well by Lili Taylor (she was supposed to be annoying).

This show also wins in the following category:

Rita dead? At that moment? This way? That WAS a shock.
Other choices for the saddest death category:
- "Six Feet Under": At least one death every episode, but I mean Nate Fisher - one of the main characters.
- "The Sopranos": many deaths there, but the one of Adriana La Cerva SO SAD and unfair!
- "Treme": Creighton Bernette? Really? One of the best characters?
- "Game of Thrones": I could not believe when I saw Eddard Stark dead! Extremely unexpected and sad.
- "Deadwood": Wild Bill Hickock Why him? Why this way? Why so soon?
- "Oz": Dino Ortolani. Died in the pilot!
- "The Wire": Many really sad deaths - Stringer Bell, Joe, Frank Sobotka, that young boy killed by his friends and of course Omar Little
