Well. It could've been so much better.

I honestly don't know why I still care about these stupid awards, I really don't. And yet, here I am, all worked up because not as many people as I would have liked got nominated, and my precious Battlestar Galactica was almost wholly overlooked AGAIN.

Anyway. Here's the list.

I'm really happy for Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh, both whom are overdue for a nomination for Grey's, and both whom did fantastic work last season. I'm happy for Lee Pace and Kristen Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies. My vote for best drama goes to Dexter, and best actor in a drama to Michael C. Hall - I'm SO HAPPY that the show, and MCH, were recognized. And I'm 100% on Team NPH. Give the man an Emmy! He deserves it so much.

I'm flabbergasted that Boston Legal is on that list AGAIN. That Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is nominated AGAIN. But, am I surprised? Nope.
