Emmy Nominations

Oh how I love the Emmy's!!! Even with the tv season being so sucky this year- damn you writers strike!!- there were still some great moments.

Yay for 30 Rock getting 17 nominations- love that show. And Pushing Daisies got 12- woohoo!!! I can't WAIT for that show to come on- I wish they would start airing all the reruns so I can watch all the episodes before the new season starts.

A few omissions though- where the hell is Big Love?! That show is amazing!! And Scrubs never gets the love that it deserves. And I always laugh watching My Name is Earl

Go 30 Rock!!! But where the hell is my Pushing Daisies- it should win!! Pimento Digby- best alias ever!

Golly gee, I sure wish Katherine Heigl hadn't withdrawn herself from consideration...given the stellar line-up of nominees she certainly would have fit right in (insert gag reflex here).
PS-I agree Big Love is awesome but the nominations were more deserved in seasons 1 and 2 than this year.
