I don't watch any TV Dramas, but I think every TV critic in America is going to storm the academy for not nominating Friday Night Lights.

 

Very pleasantly surprised to see "Extras" love, with Gervais for actor, along with a writing nom and directing nom.

 

And how about that comedy writing category? One for Extras, two for The Office, two for 30 Rock. Can't go wrong with that.

 

Most excited for Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson, naturally.

 

For variety show: especially after last night, it would be a CRIME for The Colbert Report to not win. Watch as Tony Bennett takes it.

If I could determine the outcome in one category, I would choose supporting actress in a comedy and the winner would be Perkins. She is SOOOOOOO perfect as Celia on Weeds. That show didn't get enough love from the emmys.

Friday Night Lights getting snubbed really sucks, and I don't agree with the 30 Rock love.

 

But Neil Patrick Harris and Jenna Fischer getting nominated is all kinds of awesome

But come on, no Shield nominations ? This is bullshit 101. At least Walton Goggins should be on the list, he was pure gold last season.

I think someone might actually beat out Amazing Race for an Emmy this year.

 

Rachel Griffiths will probably win Supporting Actress - Drama this year since everyone else is from Grey's or Sopranos.

 

Surprised that Chris Meloni didn't get nominated this year for SVU as I think he turned in his best season yet, but it's a killer list of nominees.

 

Speaking of killer list:

Extras

Ricky Gervais as Andy Millman

Monk

Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk

The Office

Steve Carell as Michael Scott

30 Rock

Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy

Two And A Half Men

Charlie Sheen as Charlie Harper

Shalhoub is probably the favourite having won the Emmy three times (03, 05, 06) already but do the voters want to give him a threepeat?

 

Sheen holds the fort for the traditional sitcom but is a dark horse. Baldwin was frankly, hilarious and Gervais and Carell were, well Gervais and Carell. I don't see Ricky winning though because I figure that some voters may not "get" Extras.

 

Overall, no real issues with the nominees, except perhaps with the three Grey's actresses in supporting-drama. Seems like one too many.

I'm gutted at the small amount of Heroes nominations, but even more so that Earl has been snubbed.

 

Fuck Ricky Gervais.

I think the sopranos has way too many writing nominations. Surely genisis, five years gone (heroes) or the brig (lost) were more deserving than the second coming or made in America?

 

The only good thing is that they might cancel each other out and lost or BSG will win.

I hope this statement is based entirely upon Extras (which I have not seen) rather than his work on The Office or his stand up.

VICTORY!

 

UGH. The Shield gets screwed again. Rescue Me has been so blah the last 2 seasons, and Leary's getting the nom over Chickie. Whatever

Why are concerts lumped together with variety/talk shows? I'm sure Mr. Tony Bennett had a great performance on PBS or whatever channel he was on but Craig Fergereson was robbed! And why do they nominate the Academy awards every year in this category?

I would like to have seen Scrubs and Zach Braff get a nod. This season was really good.

I think they submitted the musical episode for consideration though, which is a love-it-or-hate-it. If they had sent one of the later episodes, either the Nurse Roberts ones or The Convention episode, they might've gotten the nod.

 

And this means John C. McGinley has one more season to get at least a freakin' NOMINATION. Come on, talk about snubs.
