[mattCR]

Long and short: HOLY COW did 30 Rock sweep up.

 

[Walter C]

Some thoughts...

How about that? Family Guy getting nominated for Best Comedy. Totally didn't expect this.

I guess it was asking for too much for Boston Legal to be completely shut out. Enough already.

But really glad to see Breaking Bad getting a lot of love from the voters.

 

[mattCR]

Unless my count is wrong, I've got 22 noms for 30 Rock.. that's just insane. I would have to check, but I can't remember any show ever breaking 17, which I thought was the high mark until now..

 

[Josh Dial]

Bear McCreary was absolutely robbed in not being even nominated for score. Legend of the Seeker? Ghost Whisperer? Are you frakking kidding me? I assure you nobody is lining up to see "The Music of Ghost Whisperer, Live and in Concert!"

 

[Ray H]

Nice to see Lost getting some nominations, even if it got overlooked in a few categories. Pretty funny to see Lost as the sole non-Mad Men writing nominee. Too bad Holloway didn't get a nod for his performance last season.

 

[mattCR]

I'm just really glad to see "Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog" get a nomination.. shocking!

 

[Patrick Sun]

I think I'm about over 30 Rock at times. Sure, it's a breezy 22 minutes, but there's something offputting about the characters at times that makes me not truly embrace them like I had in other comedies over the years (like Arrested Development, Cheers, The Office, The Loop, Friends, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, and others I'm forgetting at the moment).

 

[mattCR]

Tina Fey by her self basically contributed 23 of NBC's emmys (22 for 30 rock, 1 for herself as Sarah Palin on SNL) Jeez.. think she's having a good day? I was dissappointed to see "The Shield" get shutout, and "BSG" relegated to technical awards.

 

[TravisR]

What kind of sick world do I live in where The Family Guy gets nominated for Best Comedy and The Shield can't garner a major nomination? I can't decide which is more ridiculous.

On the plus side, it's great seeing Mad Men and 30 Rock getting a boatload of nominations. I wouldn't complain if Lost won for Best Drama but Mad Men and especially Breaking Bad are probably more deserving. I'm also hoping Michael Emerson can pick up his very much deserved Emmy this year.

 

[Bryan Toth]

I liked 30 Rock in it's first season, but frankly I don't think it comes close to living up to the hype that it gets in the industry these days. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of it.

The real shocker for me is "The Shield' getting shut out in their final season. I thought they might finally give Walton Goggins some recognition (and Chiklis some more recognition). I know some people weren't happy with the way the show ended, but I don't think there can be much debate that it was amazingly well written and performed (as it had been for pretty much it's entire run.)

 

[Scott-S]

Very happy for Jim Parsons. His Sheldon is one of the funniest characters on TV at the moment.

I am also pleased for Family Guy. It isn't for everyone, but I think it is funny.

 

[Craig S]

"Family Guy" gets a Best Comedy nod and "The Big Bang Theory" doesn't?? How does THAT happen? Seth McFarlane must have pictures of Emmy voters downloading Stewie porn...

And don't get me started on "Friday Night Lights" being shut out of the big categories yet again.

OTOH, glad to see HIMYM break through with a Best Comedy nomination. And big cheers for Jim Parsons getting his due recognition as well.

Wins I'd most like to see: I'm hoping this is the year for Hugh Laurie. He's overdue. And I think "Dr. Horrible" could actually win its category as well.

I don't usually watch the Emmys, but with NPH hosting I may give it a whirl this year.

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Quote:
I'm just really glad to see "Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog" get a nomination.. shocking!

Was that ever shown on TV? I've just seen it online.

 

[mattCR]

Never on TV. Online only and DVD. Still one of the best things I saw last season. If Dollhouse had been that consistently witty and fast paced... ah, I wish. But I think Dr. Horrible had a better cast I'd take NPH over Eliza any day. (and I enjoyed Dollhouse!)

 

[Marty M]

Is this the first year for expanded nominations? I noticed the comedy and drama show categories have seven nominees and all the acting categories have six nominees.

 

[mattCR]

They expanded to six. However, both the comedy & drama series category had resulting "ties" in votes, resulting in 7 top vote getters.. or so they say.

It does seem more than a coincidence that both major categories would have a tie for 6th place.
