Lost got nominated best drama...

In fact, the only Lost noms I'm mad about are the missing one for writing for The Constant (there was simply not a better hour of television all year) and for Elizabeth Mitchell for supporting actress. Cusack should have been nominated for supporting actor as well, but Emerson's nod was good enough - he absolutely deserves the win!

I'm also happy about all the Pushing Daisies love, though I can't for the life of me figure out how 2/1/2 Men gets the best comedy slot over it! Go Kristin! Chi Mcbride was shut out of supporting actor (again, Jon Cryer, really?) but with Rainn Wilson, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Dillon, and Neil Patrick Harris nominated, I'm pretty much going to be happy (unless Cryer wins which would be just ridiculous).

Lonny Price is nominated for directing "Company" for television. It's also up for editing.

Elaine Stritch is up for guest actress in a comedy series (30 Rock). Robert Morse for Mad Men.

Phylicia Rashad and Audra McDonald are nominated for Raisin in the Sun.

Kathy Griffin's D List is nominated against Antiques Roadshow (that made me laugh) for best reality show.

Neal Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenoweth are nominated for supporting actor & actress in a comedy series.

I didn't know KING OF THE HILL was still on -- who knew?

Posted: 7/17/08 at 9:17am

yes it did jason, you are quite correct. I got my info from MSNBC before I posted the link and they are apparently incorrect.




MSNBC - incorrect info

tazber - the date on that link is 2006.... :)
It's OK - I've made that mistake before myself.

OY! I'll leave my mistake so people will know what you're referring to jason.

But, let me mention that the link I posted in the 3rd post is the correct year.

tazzy...does that mean I'm two years younger?! Sweet!

Congratulations to Kristin!

Well-deserved!

Also, I'm happy Phylicia Rashad was remembered. She was brilliant and heart-breaking in A Raisin in the Sun. I hope she beats Linney, to be honest.

six nominations for Best Drama...

I really hope Giamatti and Linney win.

Did Tina Fey get 5 nominations?
Actor, writer and producer of 30 Rock and
performer and writer for SNL.

No love for BETTY. At least Vanessa Williams got nominated.

Posted: 7/17/08 at 10:19am

America was nominated.

I wish Judith Light had been nominated for UGLY BETTY. I also hoped Yunjin Kim would get a nod for LOST.

Thrilled for Phylicia Rashad! Magnificent performance. I hope she has an Emmy to put alongside her Tony.

I'm pretty happy with the noms and its good to know "I'm f-ing Matt Damon" got a nod.

So happy to see Chenoweth and Amy Poehler in the same category!

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 7/17/08 at 10:58am

Traditionally, variety performers (including sketch show performers) have been nominated seperatly from the supporting comedy category. Why didn't Poehler get nominated alongside Fey for SNL?

Ugh Two and a Half Men? I've tried to watch this show, but I just don't see it. I'm still amazed it's the highest rated comedy.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 7/17/08 at 11:17am

Now I can say Congrats to Amy Poehler for a well deserved nod!

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 7/17/08 at 11:36am

but...is she in the correct category? SNL performers from Chevy Chase to now have always been in the "Variety peformance" category, not "supporting actor/actress in a comedy".

Love her, and she deserves recognition, but wondering why they changed the rules...especially when Fey was nominated in the variety category.

"I'm F--king Matt Damon" has a good chance of winning. After all, "My Dick in a Box" won last year.
