I’m coming out of my mid-summer fandom hibernation to say a quick “congrats” to all my favorite shows that scored Emmy nominations this morning.
Lost was nominated for 7 Emmys, including Best Drama Series (!!!), Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actor for Michael Emerson, which is MUCh deserved.
The Office was nominated for 8 Emmys, including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor (Steve Carell), Best Supporting Actor (Rainn Wilson), and a slew of writing and directing Emmys.
And *gasp* BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was nominated for 5 Emmys, including Best Writing, Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing!!!
30 Rock got a crazy 17 nominations for pretty much everything ever! Including Will Arnett for Best Guest Actor!
Flight of the Conchords were nominated for 2 of their songs, Dexter is nominated for Best Drama Series, Family Guy was nominated for Blue Harvest, Extras got 6 noms, including one for Ricky Gervais, The Daily Show and Colbert got their usual nods…
Altogether not too disappointing (although a writing nomination for Lost, or an acting nom or the *unthinkable* – a Best Drama Series for BSG would have been frakking awesome) But hell, even Supernatural got a nomination.
You can see the full list of Emmy nominations HERE.
I knew I had good taste in TV.
Even Robot Chicken got a nom for their Star Wars special!
Some of the noms make me angry (again… curse you, Two and a Half Men) but others make me very happy.
BENRY FTMFW HELLZ YEAH!!!!
And I agree totally WTF 2 1/2 men FTL
Maybe BSG will sweep with the second half?
yay everyone you said!!!
I wish Mary McDonnell had been nominated though… so close! :( Seriously.
I’m still hoping for major BSG noms NEXT year… so say we all…
