Members Shawn Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thrilled about: Veep and JLD. She is hilarious on this show. Mayim Bialik! I'm torn between her and Kristen Wiig on who I want to win. I love both, so I would be happy with either. Bill Hader FINALLY getting some Emmy recognition, and Max Greenfield getting recognized for The New Girl. BORED WITH: The continuing Emmy hard on for 30 Rock, Modern Family and Mad Men. Seriously, enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 30 Rock, Mad Men & Modern Familly will dominate while on the air as did the sopranos and other shows in the past that are consistantly the best on television, as they should be. They shouldnt be nominated just because they always are. They are because they are among the best and the best is what the emmys are for. Happy MB from MMT got a nom. Sad Scandal & KW didnt.

Members DRW50 Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's more about buzz and wanting to seem cool than about quality. Sopranos died years before it went off the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 19, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted July 19, 2012 Happy for 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Homeland, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, New Girl, Modern Family, SNL, Community. Disappointing that "Black Water" episode of Game of Thrones didn't get a nod for directing, or any acting nominations for Community or P&R or Damon Wayans Jr on Happy Endings. Or than that, I'm pretty satisfied with the nominations. Oh, and no more love for Glee! Yay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hatfields & McCoys best Mimi Series!! Sherlock fans are going wild, it got 13 noms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 If the emmys wanted to seem cool then Walking Dead would have been nominated and GoT would have swept the acting noms. I am glad they nominated Dot Marie Jones as Coach Biest on Glee. She is one of my favorites on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 Walking Dead isn't seen as cool. It's more of a junk food show. GoT is known more for murder and naked women than quality of acting. Mad Men and 30 Rock have that pastiche of hipness that makes the Academy feel relevant.

Members wingwalker Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm glad no Glee anywhere. Thrilled about Jim Parsons (no surprise), Mayim Bialik, Melissa McCarthy, and Big Bang Theory getting best comedy nod. I hope all three win. Jim I imagine he's the front runner for a three-peat, Mayim deserves to win, I love Melissa McCarthy and I guess this nom means last year's win last wasn't due to role in Bridesmaid as everyone suggested LOL. I would LOVE for Big Bang Theory to upset Modern Family, cause not only do I find Big Bang better of the two, but it's been since 2005 (Everybody Loves Raymond) since a multi-cam has one. Sad that no network drama's got a nod for best Drama. Are the cable drama's that superior or are the Emmy voters that biased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 19, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted July 19, 2012 If TBBT wins, you can pick one multi-cam comedy that I don't watch (but must be a show that you watch) and I'll watch it for one season even if I don't like the show! LOL Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 LOL, you're on the winning side of that bet. If BBT upset Modern Family, I'd be SHOCKED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 I just read the list for best comedy and I never heard of Veep...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have no idea where you are getting that Walking Dead is not seen as cool or that GoT is known most for naked women. There is not a TV critic that has not hailed it as one of the best shows on TV, and its audience is so large is is only beat by Sopranos and True Blood as the most popular HBO show ever.

Members Becki Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Really happy for the Hatfields and McCoys nods. Also thrilled for Jeremy Davies (as Dickie Bennett on Justified)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Looks like I'll be bored to death if I watch this year. Say what you will about what's the best, but I honestly can't watch any of that sh!t. Maybe my mind's been poisoned by years of so-called "bad" TV, but I really don't feel like I'm missing anything.
