Announcing the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!
Hollywood was up bright and early this morning for the announcement of the nominees for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. We'd been speculating for a while about who'd be on the list, and now we know: Mad Men indeed got a lot of love, with nominations in the Outstanding Drama Series category and several of the acting categories (though I'm sad to see the show's women shut out), while Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who? were the two new network series to break through.

In the British comedy, Pegg and Hynes play Tim and Daisy, who rent a flat in London under the pretense that they are a couple.

Snap Judgment: The Emmy Comedy Nominations
If the drama nominations for the Emmys were the source of some of my greatest joys and greatest frustrations, then my reaction to the comedy categories could be summed up with one word: "Meh." Sure, there were a few nominations that had me leaping to my feet with joy, but so many more had me raising my eyebrows and saying "That again?" So, without further ado:
- OK, the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy category is exactly the same as last year.
