Where is Family Guy's much deserved nomination for outstanding animated program?

In the Outstanding Comedy category.

I'm happy to see Dianne Wiest, Hope Davis, and Cherry Jones all getting nominations. Too bad they are up against eachother.

I really hope either Drew Barrymore or Jessica Lange win the Emmy for Grey Gardens.

I'm ecstatic that the supporting cast from 30 Rock was finally given recognition and that Kristin Chenoweth was nominated AGAIN. However, the snub of Elizabeth Mitchell for LOST is pretty harsh. Her performance was exceedingly strong and powerful.

I hope that Drew and Jessica SHARE the Best Actress in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie category. A fully apropo tie is merited.

30 Rock is like the Norman Conquests of television... amazing cast from top to bottom. So glad to see so many nominations!

I hope Mary-Louise Parker finally wins for "Weeds". She works her tight little ass off in that show.

Jeremy Piven, a 3-time winner (including in 200 for "Entourage", failed to earn a nomination this year. Sounds "fishy" to me.

Big "House" fan, glad it was nominated and he was nominated, but would love to see that supporting cast get recognized someday, starting with Robert Sean Leonard and Lisa Edelstein.

Does anyone think Cheno has a chance?

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series is insanely stacked this year... could be anybody's.

Gooo 30 Rock and the Office!!!!!! Best Comedies on television. Expect 30 Rock and Mad Men to sweep.

I'm hoping for Vanessa. She's overdue.

Big snubs for Betty and Housewives

I love the 30 Rock cast love, sad about the lack of Lost love though. I can't believe that Family Guy got put in best comedy, The Simpsons at its worst is better than Family Guys its best this year.

Also surprised that Barbra Streisand's special only got a nod for Music Direction!

I think the Supporting Actress in a Comedy category is up for grabs, but Chenoweth's nod was one of the biggest surprises since her show was pulled off the air and the last few episodes didn't air till recently, sort of as an after-thought for ABC. Her nomination is really a nice reminder of the great work she did in this show, it was such a great character for her. I hope Jane Krakowski wins after being snubbed for two previous years of brilliant comedy on 30 ROCK. I'm rooting for her, but yes, I think it will likely go to Vanessa Williams who manages to do good work with the material she is given.
I agree that Elizabeth Mitchell should have been nominated for creating one of the most complex women on TV. But I was really glad to see LOST nominated for Best Drama.
There were so many theater people in the nods.
And wow, 30 ROCK produces so many guest-star nominees.

NPH has to win, right? I mean, he's hosting the show.

[CyCoSpAz2]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 12:40pm

Not just has to, NEEDS to.

[dramamama611]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 12:42pm

^No, he doesn't HAVE to...but I'd love it if he did!

Also....Dr. Horrible was also nominated! And I could totally see him be nominated NEXT year for his turn as the Tony Host.

[Barney Stinson]

Hopefully McBreyer and Jordan will split the 30 Rock vote, and NPH wins. 30 Rock is gonna clean up though - deservedly.
