Emmy Nominations
The 2011 Emmy Award nominations came out today. I would be remiss as a psuedo-TV reviewer to not comment on some of the nominations (or lack thereof for some of my faves).
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series
Friday Night Lights • DirecTV • Imagine Entertainment in association with Universal Media Studios and Film 44
Connie Britton as Tami Taylor
The Good Wife • CBS • CBS Productions
Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick
Harry's Law • NBC • Bonanza Productions, Inc. in association with David E. Kelley Productions and Warner Bros. Television
Kathy Bates as Harriet "Harry" Korn
The Killing • AMC • Fox Television Studios
Mireille Enos as Sarah Linden
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit • NBC • Wolf Films in association with Universal Media Studios
Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson
Mad Men • AMC • Lionsgate Television
Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson
Mireille Enos, really? Was she nominated for her gum chewing abilities? Most of the time, she was expressionless to the point of looking like she was mentally challenged.
Anna Torv of Fringe should have been nominated. I admit that I didn’t like her style at the beginning of the show but she was great this year. Her Leonard Nimoy was spot in.
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series
The Big C • Showtime • Showtime Presents, Sony Pictures Television, Perkins Street Productions, Farm Kid, Original Film
Laura Linney as Cathy Jamison
Mike & Molly • CBS • Bonanza Productions, Inc. in association with Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. and Warner Bros. Television
Melissa McCarthy as Molly Flynn
Nurse Jackie • Showtime • Showtime Presents, Lionsgate Television, Jackson Group Entertainment, Madison Grain Elevator, Inc. & Delong Lumber, A Caryn Mandabach Production
Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton
Parks And Recreation • NBC • Produced by Deedle-Dee Productions, Fremulon, 3 Arts and Universal Media Studios
Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope
Raising Hope • FOX • Twentieth Century Fox Television
Martha Plimpton as Virginia Chance
30 Rock • NBC • Broadway Video, Little Stranger, Inc. in association with Universal Media Studios
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon
Tough call on this one - there are some quality actors here. I’d love to see Poehler or Plimpton take the prize.
Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series
Glee • FOX • Ryan Murphy Productions in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television
Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester
Hot In Cleveland • TV Land • Hudson Street Productions
Betty White as Elka Ostrosky
Modern Family • ABC • Twentieth Century Fox Television
Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy
Modern Family • ABC • Twentieth Century Fox Television
Sofia Vergara as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett
Saturday Night Live • NBC • SNL Studios in association with NBC Studios and Broadway Video
Kristen Wiig as Various characters
30 Rock • NBC • Broadway Video, Little Stranger, Inc. in association with Universal Media Studios
Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney
Um, I didn’t watch any of these shows this season. Will Lynch get it because she’s hot right now? Maybe Wiig will win because everyone loves Bridesmaids?
Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Boardwalk Empire • HBO • Leverage, Closest to the Hole Productions, Sikelia Productions and Cold Front Productions in association with HBO Entertainment
Kelly Macdonald as Margaret Schroeder
The Good Wife • CBS • CBS Productions
Archie Panjabi as Kalinda Sharma

Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart
Justified • FX Networks • Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions
Margo Martindale as Mags Bennett
The Killing • AMC • Fox Television Studios
Michelle Forbes as Mitch Larsen
Mad Men • AMC • Lionsgate Television
Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris
Hmmm, shall I go off on another Killing rant? No, I won’t. I thought Forbes was fantastic at the beginning of the show but they made her character really unappealing by the end. Christina Hendricks is always good but I didn’t watch this season of Mad Men so I can’t judge her on this one.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series
The Big Bang Theory • CBS • Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television
Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper
The Big Bang Theory • CBS • Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television

The Office • NBC • Produced by Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille LLC in association with Universal Media Studios
Steve Carell as Michael Scott
30 Rock • NBC • Broadway Video, Little Stranger, Inc. in association with Universal Media Studios
Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy
Louis C.K. for the win! I thought he was fantastic.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Boardwalk Empire • HBO • Leverage, Closest to the Hole Productions, Sikelia Productions and Cold Front Productions in association with HBO Entertainment

Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House
Justified • FX Networks • Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions
Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens
Mad Men • AMC • Lionsgate Television
Jon Hamm as Don Draper
Anyone but Hugh Grant. Sorry, but that character is played out.
John Noble from Fringe should have gotten a nod. He was especially challenged this season and did a stellar job.

Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel
Modern Family • ABC • Twentieth Century Fox Television
Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett

Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy
Two And A Half Men • CBS • Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc., The Tannenbaum Company in association with Warner Bros. Television
Jon Cryer as Alan Harper
Again, I don’t watch any of these shows. Maybe Cryer should get it for putting up with crazy Sheen?
Who’s missing here is Nick Offerman from Parks and Recreation. Ripoff!
Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series
Game Of Thrones • HBO • Bighead, Littlehead, 360 Television, Grok and
Generator Productions in association with HBO Entertainment
Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister
The Good Wife • CBS • CBS Productions

Justified • FX Networks • Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions
Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder
Mad Men • AMC • Lionsgate Television
John Slattery as Roger Sterling
Men Of A Certain Age • TNT • TNT Original Production
Andre Braugher as Owen
This is a tough one. Peter Dinklage was great in Game of Thrones, John Slattery is always good but I’m going with Andre Braugher who made his role real to me.

Glee • FOX • Ryan Murphy Productions in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television
Kristin Chenoweth as April Rhodes
