BEST VARIETY SERIES The Colbert Report Conan The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Real Time with Bill Maher Saturday Night Live
OUTSTANDING REALITY PROGRAM Antiques Roadshow Undercover Boss
OUTSTANDING REALITY COMPETITION The Amazing Race American Idol So You Think You Can Dance Top Chef
It's a rare show that can get me to root against Mad Men for Best Drama but Game of Thrones is it. Winter is Coming to the Emmys. (Though honestly, I don't think they'll win.) Peter Dinklage for Best Supporting Actor Drama has the best shot to bringing a statue home to the Iron Throne. (youtu.be)
Also, I disagree with both The Office and 30 Rock getting their usual Emmy nods. Both shows are well past their best days. Commmunity, uneven season as it was, was also brilliant when they were at their best. Community deserved the nod. But Parks and Rec gets my vote (I don't get a vote).
No Nick Offerman nomination for Parks and Rec is a crime, though. However, I really believe Steve Carell deserves his first Emmy. This is his best and probably last shot at being recognized, if he never returns to prime time television.

YES.
Also Modern Family hogging the Best Supporting Actor category crowded out Danny Pudi and Donald Glover. The whole damn cast? Was Jon Cryer nominated for just surviving the off-camera drama?

As soon as that whole Sheen drama broke, I predicted it would lead to Cryer (who's very well-liked and respected in Hollywood) winning another Emmy as a "sorry you had to put up with him" nod.
I love the nominations for Goggins/Martindale/Olyphant, Louis CK, Andre Braugher and Dinklage. (I haven't seen Game Of Thrones yet but have no problem believing that Dinklage is amazing in it.)
The complete lack of response to Community still strikes me as odd.
Presumably Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss are using 'The Suitcase' as their submission episode and thus both will probably win, since that was the best acting on any show this year.

2010 Jon Cryer Jesse Tyler Ferguson Eric Stonestreet Ty Burrell Chris Colfer Neil Patrick Harris
2011 Jon Cryer Jesse Tyler Ferguson Eric Stonestreet Ty Burrell Chris Colfer Ed O'Neill
Ridiculous. Ed should've been nominated last year. I'm not saying someone like Eric Stonestreet isn't worthy, but people here rattled off enough just-as-worthy names. Throw in Joel Kinnaman from The Killing and you have a whole new list of nominees.
I think Boardwalk Empire is gonna clean up.
Cherry-picking some other interesting categories:
Outstanding Animated Program The Cleveland Show: "Murray Christmas" Futurama: "The Late Philip J. Fry" Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III The Simpsons: "Angry Dad - The Movie" South Park: "Crack Baby Athletic Association" 
-AWESOM-O!
Outstanding Casting For A Drama Series Boardwalk Empire Game Of Thrones The Good Wife The Killing Mad Men
-Toughest award to pick.
Outstanding Main Title Design Any Human Heart (Masterpiece) Boardwalk Empire Game Of Thrones Rubicon Too Big To Fail
-RUBICON!
Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music Any Human Heart (Masterpiece) The Borgias Camelot Episodes The Kennedys Mildred Pierce
-This one clearly has to go to Game of Thr...wait, what?

What, no nomination for Modern Family Luke, he's such a rascal.
I thought the BUZZ was that Carell and Parks & Rec winning were fait accompli? Unless Tony Shalhoub shows up at the last second.
I also thought this was the year all them people realized Glee was an empty house of cards (the cards in a jukebox with the songs' names on them that you flip through) and they'd made a huge mistake. | Matt Tracker

People don't know him enough to recognize what a distinct character he's created. Google him. He's unrecognizable in this role.
Forbes was wrenching every week she appeared. She did heavy lifting.
This is NOT the season for which Hugh Laurie should win. But I wouldn't mind seeing him finally get an Emmy for House. Maybe for this year's final season. | SchippeWreck
