The nominations for the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards were announced this morning, and ‘Glee’ is leading the pack with 11 nominations including nods in Directing, Hairstyle, Guest Star nods for Kristin Chenowith, Mike O’Mally and Neil Patrick Harris, Best Actor/Actress, and Best Supporting Actor Actress categories.
‘Lost’ also got quite a few nods this year, and the “popular” picks showed up as well with nods for 30 Rock, The Office, Two and Half Men, House, and Mad Men.
Some shockers however was nods for both Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton for ‘Friday Night Lights’, Betty White for hosting SNL, and the total absence of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ from the Big Categories.
It looks like TBS’s campaign might have worked because ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien was nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series. However, Conan will be going up against both The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report. So, him winning will really be a big F**K You to NBC seeing as they are hosting the Awards this year.
