I've been surfing on-line more than three hours these days, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
who's specifically is broke in the comedy section and how do you have access to that.
TRACKED.
the "broke" girls are heading to the oscars
Glad to see Sherlock up here, and Big Bang Theory, but very disappointed not to see 2 Broke Girls up there in the comedy section. Kat Dennings delivers a fantastic performance, in my personal opinion. That being said, I'll have to go queue up Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Downton Abbey. Obviously I'm missing something if they're nominated for so many awards!
What about Spartacus?
I cannot wait to watch the show.
my cousin who is beyond organized and secure and was the person i needed with me since i am so unorganized and nervous most of the time.
she dropped her hectic schedule and we flew in...she had the list of people i was inteviewing, she was looking out for the stars as i would prepare what to say as they walked towards me...she was so proud of me that day as i was interviewing stars, I was so proud to have my gorge mama cousin taking control, fiixing my gown, fixing my hair, holding my mic while i reviewed notes, she reviewing my notes to make sure i had all directions accurate.
the count before preparing to go on air someone shouts out 10 9 8! .. as the person is shouting the call...Marg looked into my eyes, never letting go... i stared back at her and said "no fear, no fear" 3 2 1! and did it.
Marg was always making sure i was ok and making me feel secure. her famous words when i am afraid are " no fear, just do it". i personally have to say it was most fun. Marg was looking for her stars goodie bag for herself(LOL), she said can you believe 2 girls of NJ are here... we truly laughed our a-ses off.
i have a cousin in the new world that was covering the emmys 1 year and i had the honor of attending. i cannot tell you what a thrill it was wearing a georgous gown, everyone so glammed up...she needed an assistant with her and i was so happy she asked me. ...it was truly an amazing time for me and one i will never forget-wish she had tkts this year! lol
news world
what about Sons of Anarchy?! I absolutely love that show, should be nominated for the actors and series as a whole. Snubbed!
WE ARE GOING TO VOTE YOU AS THE CEO AND EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR BECAUSE YOU CAN TRACK BLOGGERS WITH 6 DIFFERENT NAMES..YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DEPRESSED.
WE GARE OING TO VOTE YOU AS THE CEO AND EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR BECAUSE YOU CAN TRACK BLOGGERS WITH 6 DIFFERENT NAMES..YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DEPRESSED.
WE GOING TO VOTE YOU AS THE CEO AND EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR BECAUSE YOU CAN TRACK BLOGGER WITH 6 DIFFERENT NAMES..YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DEPRESSED.
Sad that Downton Abbey & Masterpiece were nominated in 10 categories, but the government still wants to eliminate all funding for public television. Clearly it is still producing valuable content for both adults and children. It doesn't matter which political side you're on, everyone benefits from public television.
me too big bang theory should win!
love the emmys..excited
haly was also referred to as a little innocent yet a hot mama combined into 1.. whatever!
most recognized first..i said 48..they said who cares.
mark harmon..ncis..love that man..
what show is this?
How is it that Desperate Housewives (supporting actress, the late Kathryn Joosten) falls into the Comedy category? I watched (and enjoyed) the show for several years and I don't really remember laughing at all.
yes, looking like it.
GOT JERRY MILLER RIGHT?
he's just a wimpy guy..leave him alone
I can't believe MICHAEL PITT from BOARDWALK EMPIRE didn't get nominated for either lead or supporting actor. His character was the most compelling. He's one of the most underrated young actors out there.
Never heard of most of these shows. Like big bang, two broke girls, mike and molly, hawaii five O what a bout shows on tv land. those are the best shows hilarious, cannot stop laughing. And NCIS is awesome!~~ along with the la one. very good. best ones.
Glad Big Bang Theory is finally getting its due– It's the best sitcom since Frasier and should get a few Emmys for Best Comedy. I have to admit Modern Family is pretty good – but it's won enough and Curb Your Enthusiasm is my favorite show of all time- but I still haven't seen Larry David's latest season. I'm glad Conan, Dave and Leno (especially) didn't get nominated. But Jimmy Fallon? He's the worst there ever was. I have no time for Drama anymore- and the Emmys may as well be on cable now anyway.
The most intelligent and unique dramatic series this year was Awake. Not only is it not nominated for any award, but it was cancelled. Why do we continue dumbing down TV?
Walking Dead should win every award Kim Kardasian doesn't. And bring back Firefly
There's really something wrong when The Walking Dead is nowhere on this list.
That was EXACTLY what I was thinking.
You know that Sarah Palin's inflated ego wouldn't allow her to NOT watch "Game Change" when it aired. Be assured she watched it and fumed the whole time she was watching it. I hope it sweeps the categories it is nominated for. Terrific story (based on fact) and terrific acting.
I can't believe not one nomination for Justified. These people are crazy!
So glad Big Bang Theory got some nominations ... way to go Shamy!
Where is Louise Fletcher's nomination for Shameless? That was the bravest performance I've ever seen.
Totally agree with you about Shameless. Fletcher was amazing...
Glad to see Damian Lewis recognized.
Why do shows that dont even have updated seasons like dexter, keep getting nominated. it hasnt been on in almost 2 years or seasons how ever they call it.
Um... Dexter wrapped season 6 last year, along with all of these shows. It was an awful season, so I'm not sure if you're making a subversive commentary on that, but all the shows here had new seasons for consideration.
Dexter is still on the air. Season 6 just ended a couple months ago and Season 7 starts at the end of September.
Dexter was on last fall and another season starts in September
Why isn't NCIS ever nominated??? One of the best shows on TV – the writing, the characters, etc. Fabulous. Betty White is good – however, she can say no to the nominations.
cause it is a dumb shoe. Only dummies like it. And lesbeans.
No "Justified" nor "Sons of Anarchy"????
I meant Downton Abbey.
What the fudge is Downtown Abbey?
An excellent program on PBS.
Amazing that Jeff Probst has won every year since the inception of best reality host and then this year they throw in Betty white, and Jeff is not even nominated. Unbelievable. Someone had to be off their rocker this year. They must have had to pull him because he is always going to win it and they want someone else to win even though they don't deserve it.
Only watch it for the in memoriam segment. Like to see who past away; beyond that everyhting else is horse puckey!!!!!
No Walking Dead?
Kathryn Joosten from "Desperate Housewives" is my choice to win but I am somewhat puzzled because I never considered Desperate Housewives to be a comedy show.
I'm for all things 'Mad Men', except "Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series". I'm torn. John Hamm? Dexter? John Hamm? Dexter? I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!
Seriously, though. Where is Community?? Way better than New Girl.
...................................
I'm gonna go ahead and make a..... COMPLETELY RANDOM.... guess that Modern Family is going to win "Outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series".
No Supernatural!!! Emmys Are for old people.
The young will be old and sooner than you think.
Nothing for the Borgias?
I'm a TV-junkie but have never seen any of the drama series nominees and only one of the comedy series. Guess the USA Network, Lifetime or A&E (Burn Notice, Suits, Necessary Roughness, Drop Dead Diva, Army Wives for example) don't carry enough clout to buy, err receive, nominations.
Yeah, because I'm sure AMC has so much money, with its huge viewership and all, to buy all those nominations for Mad Men. Especially since it is being cut from Dish Network and approaching bankruptcy. You're an idiot.
No, you are just watching average run of the mill TV.
~ REVENGE ~
But one thing. Why isn't Star Trek (original series) on the list? It should win cool awards.
This is all just soooo awesome ! I canf believe how incredibly talented all the performers are this year ! I am stoked !
Not one thing for Justified....bogus.
Sorry to see The Killing or its lead actors not here. Thought it was worthy.
Dear CNN, please check your spelling. The Downton Abbey nominee is Joanne FROGGATT, not Forggatt.
Will be watching the show.
and still no recognition of Treme. they must hate David Simon...no wins for The Wire, no nominations for Treme.
Are we the only two people in the world who love Treme? Great acting, storyline, location. music – what else do you need?
The killing wasn't on the list..maybe ended too late for the season. Glad Homeland made it!
No outstanding comedy for Louie, Wilfred, or Archer, but Big Bang gets on there pah-leeze.
Still waiting for Internet content to be recognized.
It should not be, Internet is internet. Tv is TV. Do not confuse the two. Intenret is inferior.
Dropped the sara? Being a dude today er you are a dude wanting to be a girl? On subject – SNL? Joking right?
What, most Comical Posting in a regular forum ?
Still none for Community, and still one for Jon Cryer. At least they're done with the Glee hype.
Dinklage better win for 'Game of Thrones' or a whole bunch of ankles are gonna be bitten 'round here...
Quite trolling vixen k?
Lol
Mad men, hands down.
So nice to see the late Kathryn Joosten get one last bit of Emmy love.
Seems like somebody forgot the number 1 new show in Primetime Scandal & the fab Ms Kerry Washington..... #verysuspect
GLEE is finally ousted. Ouch! 🙁
Breaking Bad is the best show on TV.
Agreed! Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Giancarlo Esposito and Mark Margolis are all nominated, in addition to best series, directing, writing, etc. The Emmys got it right this year.
Nah, Mad Men is.
The great thing about television and music awards is,If you don't deserve one they'll invent one to give you.
