Whoa. The nominees for the 2010 Emmy Awards (August 29th, hosted by Jimmy Fallon) have been announced. How did that happen? Caught me slipping, ENTIRE YEAR! It seems like just yesterday I was getting so mad about Jon Cryer winning the biggest award you can possibly win in television for his work on Two and a Half Men. Oh, he’s nominated for Outsanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series again this year? Perfect. I hope he wins, and as soon as he accepts his Moon Man (as far as I am concerned, all awards are “Moon Men”) a man in a tuxedo comes out on stage and says “Goodnight, everyone, the Emmys are over forever.” And no one ever wins another Emmy again, because we all have agreed that they’re worthless. There are some good nominees this year, though. Locke! Christina Hendricks! Kristen Wiig! COACH TAYLOR! MRS. COACH TAYLOR! And a very special congratulations to our 100th most powerful celebrity, Mariska Harigtay on her nomination.
Sometimes it is funny that it is 2010, an age of instant information and infinitely segmented popular culture delivering highly targeted entertainment to niche audiences, and yet we still have grandiose awards ceremonies so that the casts of Damages and The Big Bang Theory can feel like it was all worth it. Like their time on Earth is not an exercise in absurdity. Like there isn’t a hole in the fucking ocean. Silly!

There is a hole in the ocean!? Why has no one mentioned this before?
Did you know that there are four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire?
Those were some small-ass holes, and they STILL COUNTED THEM ALL!!
No way!
Was four thousand really the final total? Maybe this is naïve, but I’m thinking we could use these to fill the Albert Hall.
I mean if Costner’s plan to fill the Albert Hall with used centrifuges doesn’t work.
All this talk of holes is turning me on. Was that your intention?
I understand that they are rather small, certainly no one would have to count them.
I doubt Hutton-le-hole, Yorkshire (home to 3,999 holes) will be happy to hear this piece of news….
He must be talking about the hole that swallowed all the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” nominations. I haven’t heard mention of any other hole recently.
Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business was robbed, I tell you. ROBBED!
Seems like something’s missing…what could it be…
Oh right.
Joel McHale’s torso should be nominated for an an Emmy for Best Who Knew?
I still mostly think it is CGI and make-up.
Best Underwear Made Out of Ernie’s Shirt
Streets ahead.
You missed two other interesting nominations:
Betty White nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series
I like that The Tonight Show with Conan O’brien got nominated NOT the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. How great would that be if the Tonight Show won and Conan came up to accept the award not Jay Leno.
Oh, I’m sure Gabe DIDN’T miss Betty White being nominated. I would wager that Gabe is trying to pretend like it didn’t happen.
Where have all the Team Coco gone?
Let’s petition for Betty White to win every category.

Here’s another clue for you all,
The best supporting actor in a drama is Paul
This is a very, very good comment.
Also: there are plenty of disappointments on this list (Nurse Jackie but no Community or Parks and Rec? REALLY?), but for me the worst offense is snubbing Vincent Kartheiser for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Forget it, EMMYS! It’s Pete Campbell Town!
I don’t know, he wasn’t really grea, I mean, mostly he just complained at Angel, t and I didn’t think they were allowed to nominate people from cancelled series.
What?
I’ll explain it to you when you’re dorkier.
OK
Gah! Sad face. Vincent Kartheiser was in the Buffy spin-off Angel for a couple seasons. And he whined a lot. I was joyfully professing my cultural ignorance that he would be in any other television show.
I’m really glad you didn’t post a .gif of him having sex with Cordelia. I still have nightmares about that scene.
Ugh. Kathy Griffin? Dancing with the Stars? Barf. Though I guess I shouldn’t waste my precious time being offended by an awards show I wasn’t going to watch anyway.
the entire “outstanding reality competition program” section is the worst thing ever. i quit. i quit teevee.
Antiques Roadshow? That program is like watching people get their antiques appraised. Oh, wait…
I wonder if it’s a sign that Matthew Fox is dead last in the order of Outstanding Actors.
More like a pity vote since it was LOST’s last season. Everyone knows Fox is nothing without his fake beard anyway. Matthew Fox and his fake beard were the Nicholas and May of whiny emo bullshit acting.
His shame beard IS the most outstanding actor, it should win all the awards. Just the beard, not Matt Fox.
Who cares about the Emmys when this is happening:
(note: this has been modified)
Congrats, Ed O’Neill, you are the only adult actor on Modern Family not nominated. Personally, I think Rico Rodriguez should have been nominated because someone needs to bring style back to the Emmy’s.
I like how The New Adventures Of Old Christine was nominated for an Emmy AFTER the series has been canceled. Maybe The Big Bang Theory can posthumously accept the award for them.
Oh, Antiques Roadshow. Although, at my awards ceremony that would be placed in the “Outstanding Programme for Old People.”
…category. Bleurgh.
It’s no Cash in the Attic
I wonder if the American version is any different.
“I’m not here to make friends. I’m only here for one thing – and that’s to get my valuable ottoman valued” – Antiques Roadshow guest
Or “Best Show to Put You To Sleep at 3AM”
Don’t the same shows/actors get nominated every year? Why do people even watch the Emmys? DO people even watch the Emmys?
Nurse Jackie is supposed to be a comedy? I thought it was attempting to create a new genre: anticipatory train wreck.
I actually think that Cryer has a good chance of winning again this year. It’s a demographic fluke. The Modern Family vote is split three ways and the gay vote is split four ways. I think Ty Burrell is probably the best of the nominees, but he loses MF votes to the gay/MF hybrid voters, and he has to split the awesome vote with NPH. The bland industry vote will take it in a walk.
What is it with the Emmys and The Office? The Office is not very good any more, Emmys! Parks and Rec or Community seem like much better choices.
But yay for you, Chris Colfer!
I agree but kinda feel the same way about 30 Rock. 30 Rock looks like a bad ripoff of 30 Rock seasons 1 & 2.
I will agree with you that this wasn’t 30 Rock’s best season. I think season 3 has been the best so far. But it is still very funny, and I don’t think I’ll ever be upset when it gets nominated for awards.
I’m starting to feel like most shows that are nominated are nominated out of habit. COMMUNITY, PEOPLE. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi deserve a new Emmy for Best Comedy Duo.
Yes forever.
Texas forever.
I am so excited that Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton finally got frigging nominated! Nothing else matters.
Exactly.
even if they don’t (won’t) win, it’s nice to know that “the Academy” actually acknowledged the existence of the show.
(though what about poor Gilford who acted really hard to bury his invisible coffin dad?)
I feel that Breaking Bad should win everything. Everything.
Sold.
Oscars ÷ Latin Grammys + Cable Ace Awards³ = Emmys
a) No Community? What?
b) THIS HAD BETTER FINALLY BE MICHAEL EMERSON’S YEAR
c) Community???
d) I’m really confused by Patrick Stewart being nominated for Hamlet, which means they are counting the English televised production of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s version from two years ago, which means somehow David Tennant did not get nominated for lead actor in a miniseries for his astounding work as Hamlet. Either that or there have been multiple versions of Hamlet recently and Patrick Stewart was in them all. Which would not surprise me.
e) Community
As much as I want Michael Emerson to win, that award is reserved for Aaron Paul.
Shouldn’t last year have counted as Michael Emerson’s year, since he….you know, won last year?
Didn’t he win last year…?
Dang, stonemill beat me to it. And look how excited he is!
Bwahaha, I think my comment answers backstagebetty’s comment above: DO people even watch the Emmys? Obviously I no longer do.
he then used his emmy to kill john locke in my head for eternity….
this Emmy comedians roundtable feat. Aziz Ansari, Ed Helms, Neil Patrick Harris, Ty Burrell, Ted Danson and Jim Parsons is great:
http://bit.ly/axeD91
Anyone crunch the numbers and figure out if anyone can go EGOTS on August 29th?
If only I got tomorrow’s newspaper today…on august 28th I could be psyched about the coach taylor win. Clear eyes full hearts can’t lose!
Also, Tony Shaloub needs to stop being nominated for Best Actor. That show was TERRIBLE in its last season. Seriously, do the nominators just not watch new television (except for OMGLEEEEEEEEEE)?
(not hating on Glee, I like it, but Community is better.)
Seriously, I wasn’t aware Monk was still on the air. I guess the Emmy voters are really big fans of the USA network at 2 in the afternoon while they process their soap operas, drink their prune juice and get ready for dinner at Carrows at 3:30. Wait, Gabe did you vote for Monk?
glee sucks all the dicks
And all the dicks are super happy to be sucked by Glee.
I am upset that Zach Gilford (who was first snubbed for his work in Post-Grad) is not nominated for an Emmy. He was so good! This is worse than when JD McCoy took over for him as QB1.
“The Son” alone was worthy of him winning all the awards.
No nomination for Fringe’s John Noble? Walter Bishop is NOT happy.
Also worth mentioning, Friday Night Lights was nominated for outstanding casting and Outstanding Writing.
Jane Lynch wins all the Emmys, Oscars, Grammys, and Moon Men. The end.
Is anyone else psyched about “Nurse Jackie” getting some nominations? I wish they hadn’t overlooked Merritt Weaver, she was so great this year.
And yay! Chris Colfer! I wanted to give him an Emmy for “Rose’s Turn” alone.
no party down? no bored to death? no ron fucking swanson or aziz ansari? shouldn’t true blood be in the comedy list?
so many questions.
I hope Modern Family takes all the surfboards.
Not to worry, community fans. Abed will re-enact the 2010 Emmys, casting the study group as all the winners, unless life is actually unfair or something. I will be slightly disappointed if Dan Harmon doesn’t win a write in campaign of some sort. Dan Harmon = The Best. No lack of a moon man can take that away from him.
Can someone answer a question for me? Is Modern Family THAT good? Does it really need THREE whole nominations for best supporting actor while the likes of Rainn Wilson, Aziz Ansari, Donald Glover, Chevy Chase, Charlie Day, Chris Pratt, and especially Nick Offerman go completely unnoticed? This is really irritating since I have never watched Modern Family.
Also, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton deserve every Emmy, ever.
You know, I think it is. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, and Ty Burrell are all so great on that show.
I do agree with some of the people on your list though – I think all of those dudes (with the exception of Chevy Chase, sorry) were robbed. If only they could nominate as many people who deserved it.
They could have also made room by leaving off Jon Cryer forever.
They didn’t nominate him
But did nominated this.
A definitely not rare miss, Emmys.
Good to see Antiques Roadshow up against similar shows such as Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Actually, it’s just good to see Antiques Roadshow working again.
H. Jon Benjamin got nominated for best voice-over performance in Archer! Also, I can’t wait to watch all those mini series and made-for-TV-movies so I will know what the fuck they are!
So I’m the only one who really, really likes Justified?
you are not alone
big congrats to coach and mrs. taylor but no love for f’ing MATT SARACEN!?!
wait…Monk is still a show?
So, the Emmys work like the All-Star game, right? Because Community totally = Joey Votto.
You mean Family Guy wasn’t nominated for outstanding comedy series? BULLSHIT!
