Dude.
Highlights:
30 Rock got four noms for guest actor, and three for guest actress. I'm lazy, but surely someone with more time than I have can tell if that's a record.
Pushing Daisies scored a ton of noms, including acting nods for Chenowith and Pace. McBride was robbed (not one of the five noms for supporting actor has been even close to as good); not as sure about Anna Friel; I adore her, but I also adore all five ladies who received nominations (although I'd still take her over Louis-Dreyfuss), and if anyone but Parker wins, I'll be disappointed anyway. Back to Pushing Daisies, though, how the FUCK is it not up for best comedy series?
Great to see the love for Damages (especially seeing Zeljko Ivanek and Ted Danson get well-deserved nods) as well.
As always, lots of shows I don't care about scored noms, which isn't necessarily bad -- I don't like Boston Legal, for example, but Shatner and Bergen carry the show (or, to put a different spin on it, I adore Samantha Who, but am fully aware of just how much Applegate and Smart carry that show). Other than the ongoing and inexplicable love for Gray's Anatomy and the Best Comedy Series omissions (really, folks, giving comedy series noms to two long-not-funny HBO shows when Showtime had at least two better comedies, and Pushing Daisies remains the best show on TV?), there's nothing that truly pisses me off, especially when I take into account the sheer number of worthy shows and actors out there.
