    These noms are such bullshit! They continue to ignore some of the best shows and best acting on TV while rewarding mediocrity (30 Rock) simply because of the hype. Thank God for the LOST nom (tho insufficent), Boston Legal (Hello, no James Spader?) and for Jemaine Clement. Otherwise it’s the same old incestuous crap. Over it!
