I completely forgot that the nominations were coming out today- I really have to catch up on my movie watching because I haven't seen most of them. I did see Mamma Mia and it was good campy fun

WHERE THE HELL IS PUSHING DAISIES?!?!?! Where has good taste gone!??

TV

BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Dexter
House
In Treatment
Mad Men
True Blood

Go Dexter!!! God I love you! I do think that The Tudors should be here since it is fantastic but I will accept Dexter. I also haven't seen the vampire porn True Blood yet- I'm sure when I do I will give it my vote. I do love vampire porn- see Buffy season 6.

30 Rock
Californication
Entourage

Well it has to be 30 Rock bt the Office makes me laugh too


BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Sally Field, Brothers and Sisters
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU
January Jones, Mad Men

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Kevin Connolly, Entourage

Christina Applegate, Samantha Who?
America Ferrera, Ugly Betty
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Debra Messing, The Starter Wife
Mary Louise-Parker, Weeds
