Emmy Nominations

Where the hell is Pushing Daisies?!!?!? It was the best show of the year by far!! Ok here goes my breakdown of the nominations:

BEST COMEDY SERIES
Entourage
Family Guy
Flight of the Conchords
How I Met Your Mother
The Office
30 Rock
Weeds

Go 30Rock- that show just keeps getting better and better! I also of course love The Office and it had some great moments. But Family Guy!? Seriously?! That show is NOT funny- I have tried to watch it twenty thousand times and it is just retarded.

BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Jemaine Clement, Flight of the Conchords
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Tony Shalhoub, Monk
Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men

JIM PARSONS!!! I have just really starting getting into this show and this guy is freakin amazing! He is SOOO good on that show- Sheldon rocks! I also love Alec Baldwin and of course Steve Carell. Side note- I really have to watch Flight of the Conchords to see what the fuss is about

BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Christina Applegate, Samantha Who?
Toni Collette, United States of Tara
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures of Old Christine
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Mary-Louise Parker, Weeds
Sarah Silverman, The Sarah Silverman Program

I watched the United States of Tara in Cuba- it was NOT funny. At all. But I do love Toni Collette for her piano scene in About a Boy. I also love Sarah Silverman but let's be honest- it's all about Tina Fey. Bitch is the new black!

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
Kevin Dillon, Entourage
Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother
Jack McBrayer, 30 Rock
Tracy Morgan, 30 Rock
Rainn Wilson, The Office

Ok I'm torn. I love me some Doogie- Barney makes that show for me. Him doing the naked man was freaking amazing. But Jack McBrayer is amazing as Kenneth. I have to go with NPH though. Oh- and Rainn Wilson is the worst of all the supporting characters. Ok I just don't like Dwight.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Kristin Chenoweth, Pushing Daisies
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock
Elizabeth Perkins, Weeds
Amy Poehler, Saturday Night Live
Kristin Wiig, Saturday Night Live
Vanessa Williams, Ugly Betty

PIMENTO DIGBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIMENTO DIGBY!!!!!!! Obviously Kristin Chenoweth!!!! I love a lot of these other ladies but there is no question here. Go Olive!

GUEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alan Alda, 30 Rock
Beau Bridges, Desperate Housewives
Jon Hamm, 30 Rock
Steve Martin, 30 Rock
Justin Timberlake, Saturday Night Live

While Justin Timberlake is pretty funny on SNL I have to give this to my Steve Martin. Steve if you win I'll pick out a thermos for you

GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Jennifer Aniston, 30 Rock
Christine Baranski, The Big Bang Theory
Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live
Gena Rowlands, Monk
Elaine Stritch, 30 Rock
Betty White, My Name Is Earl

This HAS to go to Elaine Stritch- she is fabulous on 30 Rock. But then again Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is now classic.

BEST DRAMA SERIES
Big Love
Breaking Bad
Damages
Dexter
House
Lost
Mad Men

Ok this is tough- there are quite a few shows that I love. LOVE Dexter. LOVE Big Love. And I do watch Lost although...I'm going to say it...it's disjointed and a bit overrated. I also watched one episode of Mad Men but couldn't get into it- I'll have to try again. I'm going with Big Love. But it should have been Pushing Daisies

BEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Simon Baker, The Mentalist
Gabriel Byrne, In Treatment
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Hugh Laurie, House

I'm going with my sexy beast Michael C. Hall. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

BEST ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Glenn Close, Damages
Sally Field, Brothers & Sisters
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU

I don't watch any of these shows. But I adore M'Lynn so am going with Sally Field

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Christian Clemenson, Boston Legal
Michael Emerson, Lost
William Hurt, Damages

GUEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Edward Asner, CSI: NY
Ted Danson, Damages
Ernest Borgnine, ER
Michael J. Fox, Rescue Me
Jimmy Smits, Dexter

Ernest Borgnine was heartbreaking on ER but I have to go with Alex P. Keaton as he was my first ever future husband. First him, then Luke Skywalker, then Joe Labonte.

Brenda Blethyn, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Carol Burnett, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
