Snappy Judgments: 2010 Emmy Nominations
Image Credit: FX; Justin Stephens/NBC (2); Mitchell Haaseth/NBC (2)I'm Super-Ecstatic About:* the nods for Friday Night Lights' long-overdue leads, Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton.* Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler being up for lead actress.* Glee standout Chris Colfer sneaking into the supporting-actor race. Ditto his awesome TV dad, Mike O'Malley (for guest actor).* Elizabeth Mitchell snagging a guest-actress nod for Lost. Ditto Matthew Fox (for lead actor).* All the Modern Family love.* Jim Parsons' second consecutive nod for the big Bang Theory.* the Good Wife's rockin' female trio (Julianna Margulies, Archie Panjabi, and Christine Baranski) all making the cut.* Burn Notice breaking through via a nod for Sharon Gless.
I'm Rolling my Eyes About:* two words: Tony Shalhoub.* two more words: Jon Cryer.
I'm Super-Pissed About:* Emmy recognizing the entire Modern family except Ed O'Neill.* No best-drama nod for Friday Night Lights. Voters also neglected to recognize season 4 MVP Zach Gilford.* Emmy flunking Community.* No love for Chuck.* Timothy Olyphant's unJustified snub.* the absence of Fringe's John Noble.* Cougar Town getting bubkes.* ugly Betty's stellar final season going unnoticed.* House's Lisa Edelstein getting overlooked yet again.* Sons of Anarchy’s Katey Sagal getting screwed.* Diddlysquat for Spartacus: Blood and Sand and star Andy Whitfield.
