    Emmys

    Jimmy Fallon to host...

    http://www.hovied.com/entertainment/...-08076896.html

    The Emmy nominations are now out and many are searching whether their favorite series or movie made it. The nominations for the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood, California this morning. Joel McHale from “Community” and Sofia Vergara of “Modern Family” were to announce the major nominations.

    “The Pacific”, a HBO mini-series, led the nominations with an astounding 24 nominations. It is followed by FOX’s “Glee” with 18 nominations and AMC’s “Mad Men” with 17 nominations. The Emmy telecast for this year will be on August 29 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The emcee for the event will be the host of “Late Night”, Jimmy Fallon. It will be broadcasted live on NBC. The Emmy Awards are usually held during September but the Peacock network said that the decision to move the awards show at an earlier date was made to get a head start on planning. NBC also airs NFL games on Sunday nights of September thus the earlier date for the Emmys avoids conflict in schedule.

    Nominations for “Best Actress in a Comedy” are Lea Michele from Glee, Julia Louis Dreyfuss , Edie Falco of Nurse Jackie, Amy Poehler of Parks and Recreation, Tina Fey from Obvious Town and Toni Collette of The United States of Tara. The nominations for the “Best Actor in a Comedy” are Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory, Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm, Tony Shaloub of Monk, Steve Carell of The Office, Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock and Matthew Morisson from Wildcard. American Idol, Amazing Race, Dancing With the Stars, Project Runway and Top Chef are nominated for Reality Competition programs. You can go to the official Emmy homepage for a complete list of the nominees. Who do you think should win a faux gold statue? Tell it here.

    Dexter is a shoe in for "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series," cause you know, he was the Dad on 3rd Rock From the Sun and all.

    Pretty content about the drama nominations. Most of who I wanted to get nominated for Lost did, likewise with Breaking Bad/Mad Men (no Hank/Pete Campbell nomination this year makes me sad on that front though). I'm kind of curious to see the writing/directing nominations this year and haven't cause I definitely think Darlton deserve a bunch for Lost but I'm curious how much Matthew Weiner cockblocked them again there..

    Best Supporting Actor in a comedy looks to be the most open its been in a very long time, just wish they would drop Two and a Half Men already.. Tracy Morgan deserves to be there instead of the 2.5men douche. Otherwise happy w/ Modern Family nominations, and just wish Ed O'Neill got one for lead even if he'd ultimately lose to Alec Baldwin..

    I watched this last year, and it was a snoozefest. All I hope is that House wins one along with The Pacific HBO miniseries.

    Daily Show has that award pretty much on lockdown, maybe they will make an exception to fuck w/ Leno though... anyways just as I suspected, Lost didn't even get nominated for all the writing that it should have but kind of pissed that it wasn't Mad Men/Breaking Bad that beat them.. wtf is Friday Night Lights/The Good Wife..

    Also wtf are Community's awards? Easily best new comedy besides Modern Family.. Abed/Senor Chang deserve nominations..

    I'm starting to think even hoping to just get nominated for the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series gotta suck; they supposedly have six nominees, but Michael C. Hall and Hugh Laurie have like... two permaspots.

    Also, the only nominations I really, truly, honestly got SUPER OMFG excited about was Conan and the dude who plays Kurt's Dad on Glee (guest starring actor nomination).

    Glee is decent and all but how does it get so many nominations. Half of those better be for some sort of song award.

    What's so funny about that clip is that EVERY Thanksgiving dinner has drama. This just is a Thanksgiving where the father is a murder.

    I hope Lost wins a few, I also hope the opening is good and Jimmy Fallon doesn't fuck it up.

    He has his own show. Sadly. Can't imagine it gets decent ratings. But its not like they will cancel late night all together. But if there was anybody that could kill it, it would be him.

    Hype.

    I honestly think Kurt's Dad was the only nomination is deserved. And annoying big-nosed lead chick nomination is stupid as fuck.

    Making Joel McHale read the major nominations is kind of a slap in the face. Plus he doesn't see the appeal of Glee.
