The Emmy's are tripe. Seasoned performers are left out in favor of newbies, most of whom are not worth watching. The best actors and actresses should win, but they don't. Maybe they are trying to prop up the crap they are serving up as entertainment.
"SAVING GRACE " and HOLLY HUNTER should have won Emmy awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So tired of minorities screaming "racist" at every opportunity.
It's a TV award show, and the nominees are who they are. If you are sad your particular show wasn't chosen, then maybe they'll get it next year. But tallying nominees by race is racist. Crying discrimination at the drop of a hat discredits real claims of discrimination and hurts the overall cause of racial equality.
It just comes off as whining. Maybe there are fewer minorities on TV-shouldn't the awards reflect that? Would you like it if 30% of the actors got 90% of the awards? How would that be fair?
Anyway-probably shouldn't join this fray-but wanted to make a point.
Emmys Red Carpet with Chris Harrison
Hey, who’s going to watch the red carpet for the Emmys? I am going to watch the Emmys Red Carpet with Chris Harrison on TV Guide Sunday, August 29 at 6et/3pt. I like that they always get the best celebrity interviews. I am so excited! Here is a link to check out more about it:
http://www.tvguide.com/special/emmys/
Its always sunny in Philadelphia is funnier than any of those other shows.
I'm annoyed that How I Met Your Mother doesn't get more attention. NPH is awesome, and an awesome supporting character.. but what about everyone else? What about the writers? I don't know /anyone/ who has sat down and watched a couple episodes and hated it!
There really is an amazing amount of great television on currently and it would be nice to see some rotation in the recognition here. Despite the comedic wavelengths they both exhibit, "Bones" and "Castles" are both solid crime dramas. "The Mentalist" has always been solid. "Saving Grace" and Holly Hunter were both ignored. Then we have Courteney Cox for "Cougar Town," a show that started off a bit on the shaky side, but really developed into a nice ensemble comedy by the end of the first season. Chandra Wilson's amazing work in the finale of "Grey's Anatomy" was dissed. It's crazy. Some of the usual suspects need to be tucked away for a bit, especially when they've reached the point of just being nominated because of who they are or what the show is. If that particular season was sub-par, then it shouldn't be a contender...
I agree with the comments listed – the really great shows don't get any nominations yet year on year we have the same old boring ones. No disrespect but REALLY! To be honest it's just boring – there should be a limit to how many times a show is nominated – the people who select the shows should have to do more work and give more people opportunities – I really don't think the shows nominated are bad but honestly I don't think they are the best that entertainment has on offer at the moment.
What about Burn Notice???? that show is awesome and it deserves more than just one nomination!
@Get Over It, of course no one complains about the BET awards being predominately Black...what do you think BET stands for?
@alan, every major network is pretty much geared towards caucasians.
I'm asisan, and i'm not compalining that there's not Asain Entertainment Network or something, but I do understand why people are frustrated that there are extremely few people nominated of any color.
For example, I think Chandra Wilson who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey on Grey's Anatomy should have been nominated based on this year's season finale alone.
America helps Hugh Laurie!
He really deserves it !
same OLD boring ass nominees. i bet the peeps who vote don't even watch tv.
the Goodwife=sucks!
A travesty! An absolute travesty! Something is really wrong with the system when John Noble of Fringe is overlooked yet again.
It really annoys me that "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" was overlooked.
hellz yeah for South Park!
What do you know. There are a lot of Cable Shows I like and Watch on HBO and Showtime plus Broadcast TV, ABC and CBS. But as I read the list of the shows and actors, it's so void of color. I might catch or DVR the Show to just see. But I'm tired of the of these award shows of white actors, creeators and directors awarding their selves again and again. TV is so boring seeing the same thing over and over.
I have not seen all of the other movies in the category, but Claire Danes really deserves to win the Best Actress award for a mini series or movie for her role in Temple Grandin on HBO. As the father of an autistic child, Ms Danes really brought the story of Temple Grandin to light which helps to give me hope that there is a bright future for my 9 year old daughter still. The things that Temple did in her life were amazing. Ms Danes' portrayal of Temple was fantastic from the way she spoke, the way she refused hugs, all the way down to how she couldnt look anybody in the eye when she spoke to them. She was amazing playing the part of an amazing woman.
Yes Yes Yes finally Friday Night Lights got some! It's a pity Zach Gilford wasn't in the list. The Son is a great episode. the best of the series and one of the finest hour of television EVER.
as for NCIS: got all those viewers increasing for the syndication. but there are show a lot better than that, IMHO 7th season is the worst of the show so far...
Only one nom for Treme??? how about Khandi Alexander? how about Clarke Peters? Is "outstanding casting" a new category? If so, why not Treme? And yes, what about John Noble from Fringe? And how about Nelsan Ellis from True Blood?
How can John Noble be omitted? His work is simply fantastic, and Fringe is one of the best shows on television. Shame on those responsible. John, thank you for your great work. You have this fan's vote!
John Nobles performance is what make Fringe fun to watch. Without him, it would be just another in a long line of science fiction shows. He probably got over-looked because (like the Oscars), Hollywood doesn't like science fiction.
I agree, he got robbed.
i agree with john noble what an incredible character actor, loved him as nasty russian mob leader in Running Scared
Once again, NCIS has been left out completely. Despite the fact of it's ranking and increased viewship over last SEVEN years! Boycotting Emmys, what a joke...
Popular doesn't always mean good. Especially when it comes to the tastes of the American public.
Where the hell is "Keeping up with the Kardashians"??? It's the best show out there!!!! What a joke
Just kidding. Stop whining, your show isn't nominated because it's no good
Community got screwed!!! That show is better then half the crap that got nominated!!!
Congrats on all the nods BrBa got, that show deserves everything it gets and more. I was disappointed that neither Anna Gunn nor Dean Norris got nominated though. Especially Dean.
I'd have like to have seen Community get a few nods as well as Supernatural, Psyche, and Criminal Minds. Since I don't watch some of the shows that did make the cut I can't compare, but those are some of my favorites.
I'm very happy for Breaking Bad; it's an amazing show. I don't think Supernatural will ever get any recognition, just because it's on the CW, which sucks because it's also a great show.
I'm kind of disappointed that The Boondocks has never gotten any noms. The first season was brilliant, and even won a Peabody (which I think is a little more impressive than an Emmy). It blows South Park out of the water, especially with the crap SP's been peddling lately.
Who picks these?? I haven't even watched most of these shows because they are junk
it may be like the oscars if you win one then your part of the academy and can vote , but not sure.
Apparently Tony Shalhoub will be getting nominations 20 years after Monk goes off the air. Come on, some new blood, people! Where's Ed O'Neill?
I can't believe none of the actors or actresses of Treme got nominated. Khandi Alexander, Steve Zahn, John Goodman, Clarke Peters, Wendell Pierce. C'mon, not one nomination? I'm starting to believe the "all white people" nomination theory myself.
Totally agree with the nominations for Friday Night Lights – amazing show. Wondering how Fringe and Brothers & Sisters were overlooked.
True Blood is in but not Supernatural? Seriously? Should the guys start sleeping around (and let us too see that), maybe then? Why this show is always underrated?
Is this working or what?
I agree also with whomever mentioned "Parenthood".. nada for them.
I cannot believe that 'Community' was snubbed. Politics maybe? Community is one of the best shows on TV. Maybe Tina Fey will donate a couple of the '30 Rock' nominations to 'Community' in the spirit of teamwork. Outrage for Commuinty. Outrage, I say.
Cat Deeley and SYTYCD were snubbed again in the Reality series category!!!
Pathethic. Cat is so much better than Tom Bergeron or Ryan Seacrest!!!
Also – what???? No Criminal Minds nominations! Another great show, along with the Tudors!
It's all about Dexter for me! The best show on Television. The United States of Tara also rocks!
You are right, Tara rocks!!!
As much as i love everything about Glee, I really really hope Jim Parsons gets the Emmy this year. We get it, Alec Baldwin is funny. Move on.
Thank Heavens!!! Kyle Chandler deserves Best Actor nod this year. He is an underrated dramatic actor. You cant watch Friday Night Lights and not like him.
What happened to Chuck?? Too clean and funny to be nominated??
NO TUDORS???? Always the same people, how boring, please! NO THANKS!!!!
I hope Chris Colfer wins for best support actor in his catagory. His storylines have been great, and he is the highlight of Glee for me..not to mention his outstanding voice. Also, yay for everything Breaking Bad, and I hope Jim Parsons wins..and I agree why is BBT not nominated as a whole??
"Everythings coming up Kurt, everythings coming up Hummel" Yea!!
Why is Conan even considered? short-timer. Now we know something stinks besides his show!!
gtfo.
Congrats to Friday Night Lights for the small amount of nominations it received! This is a series that is totally overlooked and very realistic to the drama and events of everyday life! Also, Parenthood obviously was overlooked and deserved to be on the list and Community is a great comedy. Hopefully next year the nominations won't be based on the most advertisement and hype like Glee got.
It's terrible that community didnt get more notice. Way to be behind the curve
I'm sorry but Community was a far better show than the Office was this season...
Half the shows nominated dont have nearly the viewership and fanbase of NCIS!!! you think ncis has 20 million viewers a week by acciedent?? its the number one drama! but instead you nominate BREAKING BAD??? What the heck were these people thinking??
I agree NCIS IMO is the best show on TV.Whats so dam special about American Idol its the samething every week and every year.
High ratings does not equal high quality television. That's why Breaking Bad was nominated and NCIS was not. While Breaking Bad may have far less viewers than NCIS, it is still a better show in every conceivable way imaginable.
Wow, you just raised your hand and screamed "I'm the biggest moron on the planet." You clearly haven't watched both programs. Breaking Bad is one of the greatest shows ever conceived or developed. It is the favorite show of every single person I've spoken to that has seen it. But of course, you must be the lone authority on TV programs, with your witty Naval crime unit show.
not every one likes to watch old people shows, you know the 45 year old dressed in goth gear just doesnt appeal to the ones who make up the globe academy
Why is it that Mariska Hargitay from SVU gets nominated every year but Christopher Meloni doesn't? Don't get me wrong, I like her but she wouldn't be any good without him. I would like to seem him get the credit he deserves.
How can the Academy overlook Saving Grace and Holly Hunter's performance? Come on. As much as I love The Closer – Saving Grace has more soul in the first five minutes than The Closer has in five episodes.
Totally agree - SAving Grace was an outstanding show! Cleverly written, fabulous cast and characters - I was shocked that it was canceled, but it was so much better than most shows listed above.
It's time for Friday Night Lights to get the recognition that it deserves, and to be put back on the regular line up instead of on DirectTV ! I don't watch any of the other nominated shows.
Once again, Nelsan Ellis from True Blood did not get nominated. What is WITH that ? You people are blind, deaf and dumb.
FINALLY,Friday Night Lights is getting some much deserved recognition.I have been married to a high school/college football coach for 23 years and this show "gets it" as we say in the coaching family.The off-field drama quite often affects the onfield success of the team/coaches.KUDOS!! FNL
I agree that Nelson should have been nominated but we all know why he wasn't–he plays a black gay character–two strikes!
I hope Jim Parsons get it this year. I think he deserves it. I also don't understand why BBT as a whole isn't nominated?
And what about Holly Hunter in Saving Grace?
I agree with The Mentalist and Criminal Mind comments. What a joke that neither is nominated for anything!
I agree Diana. I don't get why such a well writteh, entertaining show like Big Bang is overlooked every year.
Good TV..like good music is always under appreciated by the masses.
Are you kidding True Blood is the best show on television and it's hardly nominated for anything - these awards are so far off. And the Big Bang is one of the Best Comedies on right now. I wont' be watching the awards, obviously they're slanted by some Hollywood money.
Congratulations Sofia! Vamos Colombia
Where the hell is Psych?
i loved your work in Barfly and Angel Heart.
So many good programs are always left out, its the same programs over and over. What about the Law and Order series, they are AWESOME. Fringe, Bones, NCIS, Castle, The Mentalist, and so on. These programs always get overlooked as well as the actors. Shame on the Emmy's for overlooking what people really watch on TV!
Why Fringe is nowhere on this list just baffles me...
Why did Sofia Vergara pull her own nomination?
What do I think? I think it is time for someone to pay REALLY close attention to the work that JOHN NOBLE is doing on FRINGE ... Watch his face as he struggles with who and what he is ... breath-taking work.
NCIS is the best DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who in the world picks these anyway. BBT is the best comedy on TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0ldsaxman 1
Treme is such good television. I don't understand why it's not more prominent in the nominations., Glee is one of the worst things I've ever seen on television.And by the way
I'm with ya 100% on that..
Talk about the dumbing down of America.
Treme just came out. didn't make the cutoff for this year's award.
It's too bad that the large old networks get looked at the most. I'm glad to see some of the others HBO< USA and others, which have much better programming than the big 3 getting more nods. It's just too bad because there are some great shows on these networks that do not get the recognition they deserve, some are so much better than the ones that got the nod this year and past years.
Jim Parsons always gets nominated (for good reason), but what about Johnny Galecki? BBT is the only comedy I watch so I can't comment on the others.
Castle and Criminal Minds were totally overlooked. The best shows on network TV. The Mentalist used to be good, but has been almost unwatchable this year. And what about Foyle's War on PBS? A great show.
NO JONATHAN RYS MEYERS ,NO TUDORS? WHAT A JOKE.
TOTALLY AGREE!!! No Tudors is such a JOKE! The ACTING, COSTUMES, PHOTOGRAPHY, how crazy is that! Will not watch it this year, totally disappointing!!!
Just found out they did get some nods, what about the acting, still Jonathan should have gotten a nod, very disappointed!!!!
He was wonderful, the best!!!!
I am disappointed that Chris Noth was not nominated for his work in The Good Wife.
Year after year the cast of Criminal Minds give outstanding performances, and they are constantly overlooked. Fantastic writing, too!! Boo-hiss!! The Emmys are a joke. And what about 24???? Sheesh.
I never understand why Criminal Minds is not nominated for something...GREAT ensemble acting...and all actors/actresses on show are awesome in their own right...felt "Hotch" deserved one for the show when wife was killed...
I too love the Good Wife. Julianna is terrific. NCIS is one of my all time favorites as well as Criminal Minds. I guess I don't pay attention to the comedys.
How about Chelsea Lately? She is over the top and funny and totally overlooked, sounds like the good old boys club!
Where in God's name is Sons of Anarchy?
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking!!! Sons of Anarchy is one of the best shows out there right now, how on EARTH is it not getting any recognition?? Especially Katey Segal or Charlie Hunnam. This is a load of crap!
I agree dianna 100%
"Castle" "Parenthood" "Bones" "The Mentalist"??? Not on any lists????
NO FRINGE????
I agree .. How John Noble is consitantly overlooked in the acting category each year is beyond me ..
Fringe rules!!
What happened to Grey's Anatomy, Shandra Rimes for writing, Chandra Wilson and Sandra O outstanding acting in every episode and the entire cast and crew for the best season finale episode EVER!!!
I agree... I was shocked as well. Chandra and Sandra in particular have been outstanding this season, as always.
I agree .. This is a great show also.. alot of talent .. don't know who does the noms. 😦
I totally agree regarding the work for Chandra and Sandra. Especially if you consider the performances given in the finale. maybe that episode didn't make the cutoff for consideration...
The Good Wife ,is the BEST
I am floored that Community did not get a single nod. That show manages to be weird, funny, relate-able, and smart. The cast plays off each other so well. At the very least it has the best ensemble in a comedy!
BeBe... you're absolutely right .. .Community is the cleverest show on TV..... I don't get this complete miss.... maybe Community too clever???? .... see ya
I absolutely agree. I was very disappointed that Community didn't receive a single nomination. It's such a great show.
Community is one of my favorite shows. Cast is more of an ensemble, so it may be difficult to focus on a particular actor. I also love the new show with Patricia Heaton. Those kids are so kewl.
Nice to see Lost given nominations. About time.
However I am growing very weary of seeing 30 Rock Nominations. It's time to give other sitcoms a chance to be recognized.
The Pacific, was great. Jim Parsons!!! He si great..The BBT is really good and funny... the bad thing there is not much diversity on this noms. Modern Family?? Sofia V. ?? really?? don't think so...
@GoodGod, although most are white not all are... Edie Falco is part Itialian, Sofia Vergara is Columbian, Archie Panjabi is British Indian, and Andre Braugher is black... those are just a few of the non white nominees... maybe you should look into these things before you start spewing YOUR racism!! Congrats to ALL nominees regardless of race!
I agree with you 100%. It seems someone always has to play the "race" card. After awhile, it becomes annoying and really stupid especially in the entertainment business in Hollywood and on television. People of all races have talent and are recognized by their peers and by the public every day. Get with today's world – we even have a Black President! I think the boo-hooing needs to stop.
Uhhh....Edie Falco (Italian??? whatever) is WHITE. Sofia Vergara is also WHITE. Just because she is Colombian does not mean she is non white. There are white, black, and mestizo Colombians just like there are black, white and mestizo Americans. Idiot.
Tell that to Andre Braugher, buddy...
Andre Braugher is among the best actors anywhere, period. I still can't believe he was never recognized for his work on "Homicide."
Is it just me, but what about "The Mentalist" , "Bones" and "Castle" some of the best on tv? Great cast in all also.
It's not just you. They're great and ratings prove it. It must be a "who's inside the club" thing. But the shows 'we the viewers' like get the ratings, and hopefully the actors thus get the bigger bucks and can laugh all the way to the bank.
Tina, I agree.
I wondered the same thing about NCIS. Great show with a very talented cast. We love the show and cast. I do not see how it is the #1 show on Tuesday nights but did not recieve a single nomination.
Marv, EXCELLENT observation! I'm not the least bit interested in these "awards"
I keep wondering year after year why NCIS never gets a nod for anything, not even for Outstanding Cast. The whole cast is great together and Marc Harmon should at least get a Best Actor. But oh well they show every year that the fans love this show since it is #1 on Tuesday nights....
Because NCIS sucks, that's why.
I AGREE!
Everyone has their choice of shows they like to watch.. Have a nice day!
NCIS doesn't suck, it's an awesome show
I agree – NCIS is a great show. The whole cast does a great job. Who in the world selects the shows?
I agree with you, NCIS is the best. I love it.
NCIS is by far the best drama...I can't understand how it gets such unbelievable high ratings week after week, year after year, but doesn't make the list here...certainly NOT the people's choice awards! LOL. I'll watch 20 re-runs of NCIS before I'll put most of these shows on at all.
What? NCIS not nominated again?? I cant believe this! #1 rated drama overlooked.. Thats just crazy!
Hear hear! It's the only show that has increased in ratings over the last SEVEN years and was even #1 for several weeks in ratings. The show is a good blend of many aspects of tv, including drama, comedy, action, etc. The cast does a tremendous job in their acting and being a believe cohesive unit. THIS is spectacular TV. Even NCIS reruns beat out in ranks some of the other shows first-run episodes! I'll be boycotting the Emmys, it's a joke...
WHAT HAPPENED TO "24" ???????
It got cancelled for good reason. The first few seasons were amazing; the last few..not so much.
24 went from relevant and exciting storylines about terrorism and our ability to overcome and prevail, to being nothing but a hammer on how the U.S.A is corrupt and the REAL terrorist. Think about it...if you want a show made for America to appeal to Americans, quit knocking us and tell the truth!!
I think leaving out Two and A half Men as a best comedy and leaving out Charlie Sheen is a travesty. Also, the same for "24" and Keiffer Sutherland. The emmys are such a abc, hbo good old boy game.
go mad men!
glee sucks!
THE SELECTIONS ARE BAD, WHAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR NOMINATIONS?... I GO WITH ANYTHING FOR "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS"; "BBT"; AND MONK.
Agreed! Friday Night Lights deserves more recognition. The show is amazing. I feel they should have had some nominations in supporting cast for drama – Zack Gilford 🙂
True Blood got hosed. What a joke.
True Blood is awful.
What about Rami Malek (Snafu) from the Pacific? He was absolutely amazing.
I agree. He was amazing and should be recognized. However, I don't think there's a category for him since it was a miniseries. Bummer.
Agreed, Rami Malek deserved AT LEAST a nomination. His performance in The Pacific was amazing.
Oh, and there is a category for Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Made-for-TV Movie
Oh geesh, another year of the "all white, no other race need apply" awards show. Go to hell.
It's interesting that the one industry that still practices discrimination is Lefty-controlled Hollywood. These sanctmonious snobs are always telling everyone, thru their programs, how racists we are. They are the real racists. When I watch CSI:NY and wonder, "Where are the minorites, who dominate this city?" They're invisible on CSI:NY. CSI:Miami might as well be called CSI:Iowa for all the Cubans on the show. I think Miami has the greatest Cuban population in the US. But NOT on CSI:Miami. Who's to blame? The White producers and directors of Hollywood are the real racists.
Omg do you hear anyone complaining about the BET awards or any of the black awards shows? Theres no whites boo hoo..they are rascist boo hoo. Get over it already, maybe its because no shows with African Americans were any good..oh no that can't be.
Andre Braugher, “Men of a Certain Age” is African American. Sofia Vergara. But I DO agree that African Americans and other races are often ignored.
Well, okay.... but you might be making too much of a big deal about nothing. At least you have your own entertainment network (BET), which is more than white folks can say.
same way i feel when i see the hundreds of minority award shows that give awards to minorites, are how many whites ive seen on the cover of Ebony or Jet , so their you go step up your game and maybe they will be nominated
Congrats to Jim Parsons!! The BBT is one of the best shows out there. The show itself should have gotten a nod as well, but at least they're getting some acknowledgement!
What about Johnny Galecki? He's as equally talented as Jim Parsons, just more understated. Parsons is over the top a lot of the time.
yay poehler got a nod, though I think the whole show should have gotten more noms
Typo – It's JIM Parsons – not Jean...
I think you left out over 25% of US TV viewers when you do not include any show with people of color in this years' nominations.
What do I think? I think it is time for someone to pay REALLY close attention to the work that JOHN NOBLE is doing on FRINGE ... Watch his face as he struggles with who and what he is ... breath-taking work.
Andre Braugher, “Men of a Certain Age” is an African America. Though I do agree that African Americans are often left out of nominations.
I agree... very sad to see that John Noble (Walter on Fringe) got overlooked. I suppose that's because his amazing performances are hidden in a science fiction show. What a shame.
its pretty lame that when a "minority" expresses anger or frustration people say they're "playing the race card" if you haven't walked in their shows i think sometimes u gotta give them the benefit of the doubt that they see a real problem from a different perspective.i can see why ONE black nominee out of so many actors/acctresses can befrustrating
Shows are chosen on the basis of quality - not diversity. Notwithstanding, Modern Family, 30 Rock, Nurse Jackie, Dancing with the Stars, Top Chef and Project Runaway all had ethnic minorities in their cast.
