    Yes! Elisabeth Moss & John Hamm really need to win the lead actress/actor catergories. Plus Game of Thrones for Best drama. FOUR actors from Modern Family
    nominated for Supporting actor? Really? It was a great year for Jason
    Segel on HIMYM He deserved a nod. No love for Fringe either,
    That sucks. Just because its SciFi. Anna Torv and John Noble were
    brilliant this year as was this season.

    Louis CK got nominated? I can't believe it, so far FX comedies have been snubbed completely.
    And I'd also like to mention that I called Dinklage's nomination before GoT started airing.

    All in all pretty much what was to be expected.

    Have to agree with Cortexitfan, considering that in the best drama category with Dexter getting a nomination, as it was overall poor season. Secondly Mariska Haritay best female actress? I can't help but feel that Fringe has been snubbed

  19. Steffen Linus Jensen Stø14 July 2011 at 14:18

    The Emmy`s fucking hates FX. Justified should have got a best drama, and where is Katey Segal? Jesus, Segal is probaly the most strongest female lead in a drama i have seen the last couple of years.

    Archer was the best animated show last year, period. And South Park got nominated for Crack Baby Athletic Association? Was one of my least favourite episodes so far this season. 'You're Getting Old' would have been a worthy episode.

    Wow, I totally expected to see some True Blood nominations in there. Not because I think they deserve it (sorry, but I don't), but because I just thought they'd get at least one nomination (help me out here: Did they have any last year? Sorry for that stupid question :S ).

    Also, there's some shows I might wanna look into. 'Cause I keep hearing / reading about them wherever I go online. I guess I'll wait for the winners to be announced and then I'll see.

    I'm fairly content... I think that minus Kathy Bates (who's generally awesome, but I doubt she'd get nominated for Harry's Law if she weren't Kathy Bates) and the Kennedy's, the rest of the noms are rather worthy. Some omisions that do bother me but over all, it's gonna be a tough year IMO.

    Damn good list in my opinion. I would have only changed one or two nominations overall.

    Connie Britton out - Katey Sagal InSupporting Actress in a Drama
    Jon Cryer out - Neil Patrick Harris in - Supporting Actor in a Comedy
    NAthan Lane out - Timothy Dalton in. - Guest Actor in a Comedy


    Well, and I would have changed KAthy Bates as Harriet Harry "Korn" ot Kathy Bates Harriet "Harry" Korn... seeing as Korn is her last name but "Harry" is her nickname and the name of the series.....

    This biggest joke is supporting actor in a comedy... I mean come on. That list looks boring even to the Modern Family cast I would think.
    Emmys just appear so flat on variety, it's an absolute snoozefest.

    Plus, everything I've heard about The Kennedys was it was terrible so how does it have so much love here?

    ReplyDelete
  58. darq14 July 2011 at 17:09

    Agreed on BSA Comedy category, but otherwise I liked the nominations. VERY few I would have changed.

    The Kennedys was better than I thought it was going to be, but not great. I think the main problem people had was the content and it's portrayal of the family.

    I think its awesome Game of Thrones and Peter Dinklage were recognized...

    ...but Community and Fringe/Anna Torv got nothing!?  That is ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  61. darq14 July 2011 at 17:34

    Honestly I thought Fringe would be lucky if it got John Noble nominated (and some technical nominations of course). Anna is in too tough a category (and honestly may not have deserved it)... and I love FRINGE!

    I think Community is an acquired taste too. I have tried to watch it 4 or 5 times and I never get through a full episode before turning it off. I just don't care for it (not a put down since many like it). Maybe the Emmy nomination group is the same way?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Stickoxydal14 July 2011 at 17:43

    Community, just like FX comedies (or basically all FX shows) are just out of the mainstream. They all are outsiders, but more or less unique and attract a niche clientele. And apparently the Emmys don't really like that.
    I'm just surprised Louie got some Emmy recognition.

    Maybe the respected his driving force behind the entire series? If he writes most of it and does directing etc.. Dunno. I have never watched it since I disliked the ads so much during my FX series I do watch! XD

    I plan to try it one of these days though....

  65. Stickoxydal14 July 2011 at 17:57

    CK does pretty much everything on this show. So maybe you're right and that's what he got recognition for.

    You disliked the promos? Hmmm, I really liked them. But while we're often on the same page when it comes down to dramas, I think our tastes regarding comedies are rather different.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Stickoxydal14 July 2011 at 18:01

    Also a bit disappointing that Norman Reedus didn't get nominated. It was clear to me that the Walking Dead wouldn't get any nominations in the important categories (I think they got 3 in some technical categories) since even though I like the show a lot there are better shows and better actors out there.
    But Reedus was really great and would have deserved a nomination as guest star.

    ReplyDelete
  67. darq14 July 2011 at 18:03

    I think he made my list, but the best supporting dram and best guest drama categories are always tough!

    I was happy and pleasantly surprised Walter Coggins got a nod!

  68. darq14 July 2011 at 18:05

    I'm hit or miss with comedies and have no aversion to a laugh track like many.  So I enjoy some of the "big" comedies on CBS and ABC, but not others.... 

    Drama wise though, yep, we're usually pretty much in line.

  69. Stickoxydal14 July 2011 at 18:07

    He didn't submit himself as supporting actor, but as guest star. No way
    he would have made the supporting actor's list, but as guest star he
    would have earned it.



    Joel Kinnaman would have been a nice addition to the supporting actor's
    list. Thought he might have a shot, because Aaron Paul isn't available
    this year and he reminded me a bit of a good guy version of Jesse
    Pinkman.

  70. ShatteredOne14 July 2011 at 18:26

    You're right Anna is in a very tough category, I was just holding out hope because this season of Fringe was spectacular.

    That's true, Community is, as you said, an acquired taste that once you have you hold it above many others.  I just wish more shows were recognized instead of the 4 Modern Family people nominated for Supporting Actor.  That's a good show, but I don't think it deserved all of them being nominated.

    To each their own I suppose.

    I liked both the Dixon brothers for Guest, but wasn't sure either would make it.

  80. Aaron Denlinger15 July 2011 at 02:14

    If my count is correct, John Noble has played at least six different versions of the same character this season.  Each one is vastly different and unique, but still undoubtedly the same character.  Further, each version is thoroughly developed and well acted, with clear motives and a vast range of emotions.  Additionally, Anna Torv has done the same with at least four versions of her own character, equally as well as Noble.  Face it, this was the season for Fringe to be nominated.  If it didn't happen this year, it never will.  Fringe DID get nominated in one category, however: the multimedia accompaniment of their Divisions website (the one category that has nothing to do with the show itself).

    Of the shows nominated that I watch, I honestly don't care that much about weather they win or not, or in some cases I do not think their seasons were strong enough to be worthy of a nomination.  I'm glad I decided to watch all of Mad Men this summer; otherwise I would have nothing in the drama category to root for (I think season four is its best season yet, although it has won every year in the past so I'm guessing the award will go to a different show.  However, I would like to see Jon Hamm or Elisabeth Moss win).  As for comedies, Community also deserved SOME nominations, although I think it is a slightly overrated show so I'm not completely surprised by its absence.  I would love to see Parks and Recreation win some awards!  Also, Steve Carrell needs a win badly!  The show is not what it once was, but his character has consistently been one of the most memorable on TV and he deserves recognition for his time as Michael Scott.  Also, he was absolutely fantastic in the "Goodbye Michael" episode.

    Thanks for that list darq....this just shows ridiculous this whole process is, that with so many nominations that people are still complaining about snubs.

    Well guess what so am I. 

    The biggest injustice was to John Noble from Fringe.  That is just plain LAME.

    Come on voters, pull your heads out your A$$$$$es

    K. I am done :)
