Personally, I feel Sons of Anarchy and Community have gotten screwed over AGAIN. They always seem to go for 'safe' options every year. Too many nominations for Boardwalk Empire I feel, an average show at best. Not enough for Game of Thrones.

It will be interesting to see who gets best male actor in a Drama series, as cause Breaking Bad hasn't had any new episodes in over 12 months, Bryan Cranston's (deserved) stranglehold on that award will be realeases. I really hope Michael C Hall or Jon Hamm win, even though their performances last season weren't the best they've done.

As I said on Twitter.

Big Bang Theory gets a Best Comedy Nomination but 'Community' does not. That's like the The Beatles being snubbed and The Monkees getting a nomination for a Grammy or something.

I respectfully disagree. I like Community, but I think Big Bang is the funniest show on network television right now.


EDIT: And I expect a Boardwalk sweep, they'll take everything they're nominated for

I cant believe Kelly McDonald has been noiminated for her performance in Boardwalk Empire. She was awful, acting so one dmensional in her atrocious Irish accent. Even Buscemi is a head scratcher. He looks bored in most of his BE scenes and I feel like he is always just going through the motions in that show. I mean, compare it to his work on the Sopranos and its night and day.

The only actor I felt worthy of an Emmy nomination from BE was Michael Shannon. I have to hunt down the nominations for writng and direction, surely Community got a nomination there.

[W?Y]

Big ups to Peter Dinklage for getting a nomination for GoT. I'd say he definitely deserves it, and has a shot at winning at that.

[Jazzman]

Pumped for Louie CK on scoring a nom, but I agree with the Community outrage. It should be in there, but maybe not at the place of BBT. Perhaps Glee, which had a super weak 2nd season or 30 Rock. BBT's nom is well deserved, but Community needs to be nominated for something.

Why do I have a feeling that The Daily Show's gonna win another Emmy?

Agreed. That said, I don't think Johnny Galecki deserved a lead actor nomination. Not ahead of Joel McHale. Also, either Ty Burrell or Ed O'Neill deserve a lead actor nomination, not just supporting.

J.G. Quintel on twitter said Regular Show got a nomination. Anyone know what category?

I could see Conan taking it.


And I'm honestly really glad to see that Late Night with Jimmy Fallon nominated. I really think that show has come into it's own after a rocky first few months, and is really entertaining. He won't win, but congrats to him on the nomination

[Perd]

I'm glad GoT got 13 nominations. Nice to see Tim Olyphant and Walton Goggins nominated, as well. Sadly, John Noble wasn't nominated. He is brilliant on Fringe.

[Jazzman]

So, zero nominations for Community in anything. What's more disappointing to me is that SNL got a nom for Outstanding Writing for a variety show. Do these people even f***ing watch that show any more?

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)

The Cleveland Show – "Murray Christmas" (Fox)
Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III (Cartoon Network)
Futurama – "The Late Philip J. Fry" (Comedy Central)
The Simpsons – "Angry Dad: The Movie" (Fox)
South Park – "Crack Baby Athletic Association" (Comedy Central)

Angry Dad the movie got the Simpson's a freakin' Emmy nomination?!?!? That was a terrible episode. I totally think the murder episode of FG deserved it over that.

I'm not a Big Bang fan, but I can't deny that they do what they do very well.

30 Rock on the other hand has been in a downward spiral for a few years now, and last season was atrocious.

I sadly can see 'Community' becoming 'The Wire' of comedy.

Where is the love for Fringe?

And I wish Wipeout could at least get a nomination for Reality Series.
I doubt it would ever win, but I still find it much more entertaining than Project Runway or SYTYCD.

It probably has no shot, but I would love to see Regular Show win.

And I'm upset that The Late Late Show still doesn't have an emmy nomination. I think it deserves a spot more than Fallon does.

Yeah, they needed to nominate THE WHOLE MALE CAST of Modern Family in the Best Supporting actor in a Comedy Series category so Swanson was snubbed. Best comedy character on tv in my opinion, and he's not even nominated.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Nothing for Chuck, Burn Notice, or Psych?

Boo the Emmys.
