The snubbing of F/X continues.....

Very disappointed to not see Zach Braff nominated for Best Actor. I'm really hoping John McGinley gets a nod for Best Supporting Actor because he was incredible this season on Scrubs.

Also, I've watched Two and Half Men a few times and I don't seem to get what's so great about it.

This new system they have really worked. Not sure whether for the good or bad. No SFU? Please!

No Lost. No. Desp Housewives (or the actresses). Both a good thing.

House, but no Laurie.

No Falco or Gandolfini. Thank God. They did nothing in this "just okay" season. The show didn't deserve a nod either.

Kristen Bell and Veronica Mars are still absent. :mad:

The nominees for Best Actress in a comedy are a joke

Also that new Emmy voting system sure worked...:rolleyes:

I'm not sure about that. Two and Half Men as the Best Comedy???

Lisa Kudrow *should* run away with the Best Actress in a Comedy category. Anytime you punch someone and make them vomit you should get an award.

No Shield = no sale

Read my next sentence. :)

Nothing for the Shield??

No Deadwood nominees? Where's the nod for Ian McShane?

What are the new rules?

Wow, no LOST this year. I'm a big fan of 24 and the West Wing, but they don't hold a candle to LOST.

Also, good to see Jeremy Piven up there, but still no Johnny C. from Scrubs. I wonder if he's ever gonna get a shot?

Also, how the hell does 2.5 Men beat out Entourage for best Comedy. Entourage 2nd season was one of the best comedy seasons I've seen in a while. Glad Scrubs is up there though.

Deadwood wasn't eligible this year.

---

The new rules are that ten series (comedy and drama) are selected by popular vote. Also, in the four lead categories fifteen actors are selected by popular vote.

Those "pre-nominees" give their/its best tape to a selected panel that judges the tape. The top five highest vote getters are the five final nominees.

Before it was just a popular vote to get top five in categories.

NO Shield???!

NO Deadwood???!

what...the...?

Kevin James nominated for KoQ! That's odd, why nominate him now when he's been doing the same thing for the past 6 or 7 seasons? He was no better this year than any other.

Jamie Pressly - :up: and :drool:

Gregory Itzin & Jean Smart - :up: :up:

How was Deadwood not eligible? It was nominated last year.

Deadwood didn't air any episodes during this years eligibility dates: June 1st 2005 - May 31st 2006.

The elgibility period was June 1, 2005 to May 31, 2006. Deadwood Season 2 started on March 6, 2005 and concluded on May 22, 2005, therefore, it wasn't elgible for this year's awards.

Trying to get to the full noms list to link it, but the emmy site must be swamped. if anybody gets a link before I do, post it if you can.

Replace all the 2 1/2 Men BS with My Name is Earl or Entourage people and I'd be happy. :grumble:

I would've liked to see one of the actors from Lost got a nomination for his supporting role...but there are just too many that they couldn't pick 1, I suppose.

And I'll start my bitching for next year already...Ian McShane better be nominated, cocksuckers!
