I have to admit I don’t have much to say about the
Emmy nominations because I don’t care enough about a majority of the nominations.
I think the Emmys have become like the Oscars (not because so many Oscar winners and nominees were nominated) because it has become so elitist. Most of the nominees are critical acclaimed shows that no one really watches but the critics and the people that nominated them. Whatever, they will be shocked like the Oscars were when no one was watching because they don’t watch what it nominated.
I am happy for Neil Patrick Harris (where were more noms for HIMYM), James Spader and all the Boston Legal nominees, Hugh Laurie, Two and a Half Men, Christina Applegate and Ryan Seacrest.
I would have given the Emmys more cred if they nominated Britney Spears, but they didn’t. Oh well.
