I've already told you my thoughts on the drama [0] and comedy [0] nominations for this year's Emmy awards. [0] But I didn't want to neglect the many, many other categories, so I've picked out a few of the best, worst, and most bizarre:

• Wow, I guess I should have watched "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," huh? Seventeen nominations, and I've got nothing intelligent to say.
• The single greatest category in this year's Emmy awards: Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Among the picks: "Dick in a Box" from "Saturday Night Live" and "Everything Comes Down to Poo" and "Guy Love" from the "Scrubs" musical. I hope the presentation of that award is televised, because it would be so amusing to hear an A-list celebrity read that list of nominees.
• I guess "The Starter Wife" [0]'s last-ditch attempt to sneak in before the Emmy deadline [1] paid off. The USA miniseries racked up 10 nominations, including Debra Messing, Joe Mantegna and Judy Davis (yay!) in the acting categories.

More great stuff, so

• How is it, exactly, that "Antiques Roadshow" got a nomination for best reality program? On the good side, though, I'm glad to see the fearsome tandem of "Project Runway" and "Top Chef" in the reality competition category.
• Three cheers for the "This American Life" [1] show! The Showtime series racked up three nominations for the "God's Close-Up" episode from its first season.
• Hey, guess what? "On the Lot" [1] got nominated for an Emmy! It's for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music, but hey, Fox can now advertise this as an Emmy-nominated show. Among the other unlikely nominees: "Kidnapped" and "Ghost Whisperer" for Original Dramatic Score, "CSI: Miami" for Outstanding Stunt Coordination, and "Meerkat Manor" for editing and cinematography.
• Did you know there was an Emmy for Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series? Me neither.
