oh well, guys. There's always next year. Though it's kinda cute you both got horribly snubbed together.Best Drama Series
Boston Legal
Damages
Dexter
House
Lost
Mad Men
Boston Legal is still on? Who watches it? The Emmy board, I'd guess. Damages and Mad Men, or at least what I've seen of them, are great, House is crap, and I've never watched the other two.
Actor - Drama Series
Gabriel Bryne - In Treatment
Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Hugh Lawrie - House
James Spader - Boston Legal
I love Bryne and Hamm, don't like Lawrie much, and haven't seen enough/any of the others to comment. Bryan Cranston WTF?
Actress - Drama Series
Glenn Close - Damages
Sally Field - Brothers and Sisters
Mariska Hargitay - Law and Order: SVU
Holly Hunter - Saving Grace
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
I enjoy hearing the BSG fans whine about McDonnell's snub here, like they really thought the Emmys would recognize their show. Don't you people ever learn? Anyway, GO GLENN.
Supporting Actor - Drama Series
Ted Danson - Damages
Michael Emerson - Lost
Zelkjo Ivanek - Damages
William Shatner - Boston Legal
John Slattery - Mad Men
Blair Underwood was pretty robbed for a bunch of already-recognized series. Not that I can complain much about Danson, Ivanek, or Slattery.
Supporting Actress - Drama Series
Candice Bergen - Boston Legal
Rachel Griffiths - Brothers and Sisters
Sandra Oh - Grey's Anatomy
Dianne Wiest - In Treatment
Chandra Wilson - Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy is hardly the best show, but Oh and Wilson (and for that matter, Heigl) are really always terrific on it and deserve their nominations. Same with Wiest, and though I don't watch Brothers and Sisters Griffiths is awesome by virtue of being Rachel Griffiths. Shocked, but not disappointed at all, that Bryne didn't make it in here; I thought she was the biggest lock of the category, but she's not great, so I'm happy.
Comedy Series
30 Rock
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Entourage
The Office
Two and a Half Men
Errr... way to change it up, Emmys. I love Entourage, but I feel like it hasn't been on since 2004. Two and a Half Men is a shit show. On the other hand, let me stop complaining, because the best show on TV, and one that you know, ain't too shabby, are also on this list. I'm shocked Pushing Daisies was snubbed, because apparently it went over spectacularly at the screenings and it did so well elsewhere.
Actor - Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Steve Carell - The Office
Lee Pace - Pushing Daisies
Tony Shalhoub - Monk
Charlie Sheen - Two and a Half Men
Sheen's awful, but this category's great otherwise. Baldwin and Carell, though, are truly giants. C'MON, STEVE. AND ALEC. AAAHHH!!!
Actress - Comedy Series
Christina Applegate - Samantha Who?
America Ferrera - Ugly Betty
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - The New Adventures of Old Christine
Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds
It's pretty hilarious that all the Desperate Housewives were snubbed here. The Emmys sure as hell got over that show fast. C'MON, MARY-LOUISE. (though I know Tina Fey's probably a lock.)
Supporting Actor - Comedy Series
Jon Cryer - Two and a Half Men
Kevin Dillon - Entourage
Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met Your Mother
Jeremy Piven - Entourage
Rainn Wilson - The Office
Save Cryer, a great lineup, but oh, John... I'm just going to have to assume John Krasinski's never going to get an Emmy nomination. Maybe he's, despite all appearances, secretly a horrible person who drowns puppies for a hobby or something, because that's really the only excuse that he's not here. Ugh. As long as anyone but Cryer wins, I'll be pretty pleased, though.
Supporting Actress - Comedy Series
Kristin Chenoweth - Pushing Daisies
Amy Poehler - Saturday Night Live
Jean Smart - Samantha Who?
Holland Taylor - Two and a Half Men
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty
Crap category. Jenna was snubbed (though I soooort of understand why, at least more so than for John). Go, Vanessa, I guess. Oh, and I'm sure ya'll have heard Amy Poehler is in The-Office-spinoff-that-isn't, but I'll talk about that once I get some confirmed news. Like I said up top, though, it's kinda cute that JAM got snubbed together. But more sad :( :( :(
Other notes: Amy Ryan was totally robbed too, grrrrrr. I love Tina Fey, but the Emmys love her a wee bit too much. "Money" getting a nom for Directing and "Dinner Party" for Writing made me cheer out loud. Oh, and "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" for Best Song (though, unfortunately, not "That One Night")!!!
