I am so excited! So many of my favorite shows were nominated this year for Emmys (Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, Weeds, Mad Men, Dexter, Big Love, 30 Rock, New Adventures of Old Christine). There other really exciting thing is that they are up against shows that I hate (Entourage, Lost, House, Damages, Two and a Half Men, Flight of the Concords). This is going to make Emmy night epic. There will be lots of screaming, lots of cheering, crying, throwing... you get the picture. The Emmy nominees list is HUGE so to see all of the Emmy Nominees go here and download the list.

There was lots of love for the made for TV movie, Grey Gardens. I loved it and I'm really excited to see how many times it wins. There was a huge snug this year towards True Blood. It only received one nomination for Best Title Design. This really doesn't make any sense to me, especially when you consider the fact that Anna Paquin received a Golden Globe for her performance as Sookie Stackhouse. Other notable nominations were for So You Think You Can Dance. Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio, Napoleon & Tabitha D'Umo, and Dmitry Chaplin were all nominated for their dance routines last year. Finally the last notable nominations were someone that is very important to us, Kathy Griffin. Yes, the vulgar ginger has been nominated again for Outstanding Reality Program for My Life on the D-List and also for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special for She'll Cut A Bitch. I am pretty sure the latter category gets presented at the actual Emmys. I'm sure Kathy is exploding right now.
