Emmy Noms...3 glaring, unforgiveable omissions...

[joeybee12]

Ty Burrell...the best actor on Modern Family...the writing is great, the acting usually mediocre.

Hugh Laurie...should have won several times for House, never has, now he never will.

Glee was shut out...not really an omission, I think, although Jane Lynch can still act circles around the ones who were nominated.

1. I'm still fuming that John Noble from Fringe has been ignored for the fourth consecutive year.

2. While I don;t put much stock in awards shows, remember that these are really the best of the best

Hugh Laurie was nominated almost every year the show was on. He was up against guys like James Spader, Ian McShane, James Gandolfini, Jon Hamm, Bryan Cranston and some other great actors. This is a Who's Who of the TV actors of the last decade. Any one of them "should" have won the award. But only one can win it. I mean Jon Hamm has not won it, but he has the bad luck of acting at the same time as Bryan Cranston, who is doing the some of the best work ever on Breaking Bad.

there was a time where TV actors were scoffed at and the "real" actors were in film. The past 15+ years have changed that notion quite a bit. Some of the best actors in the world are doing fine work on TV today.

As for Ty Burrell, I think he was victim to the strange classification system. Why House of Lies is considered a comedy I don't know. Its one of those dark dramadies that the Emmies just don;t know what to do with, so Don Cheadle took a nomination in a category he does not probably belong in, but for a role that he certainly deserves an Emmy nomination for.

3. I'm still upset that there was no love for Revenge

How come Madeline Stowe wasn't nominated??

4. Agree totally. FINALLY a half-way decent drama on network TV that isn't about

a crime lab or police station.

I am sad that Showtime's "Shameless" William Macy and almost all the rest can act circles around ANYONE on Modern Family, IMHO

5. Ty Burrell was nominated in the supporting category

The whole adult cast of Modern Family was nominated as supporting.

6. I missed that I guess...

Sometimes when someone wins, they leave them out next year I guess because voters want to spread it around, which is something I think should be done.

7. I noticed because it struck me how they dominated the category

I was reading the list of nominees outloud and it was modern family, modern family, modern family, modern family ... wow

8. It's been like that for the past three years...

It's a good show, but being given more awards than it really deserves...that said, not really sure there are many good comedies out there these days.
