    Mary McDonnell deserves to be on this list! Neithr Glenn close nor Sally Field were as good as her last year. It is a shame tht the Emmys always ignore SF, no matter how good it is. :(

    Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo predictable shows with political agendas and actors that are political activists. These awards have about as much credibility as our MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

    Ugly betty always wins but not because its a good show, it’s the illegal immigration agenda.

    SARAH SILVERMAN GOT NOMINATED FOR HER VIDEO WITH MATT DAMON…AFTER SEEING
    WHO SHE IS UP AGAINST. IT WOULD BE WEIRD IF SHE WON!! NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT
    THIS ONE.. WONDER WHAT MATT DAMON HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT..

    OTHER WISE IT IS THE SAME AS ALWAYS.. WHY NOT NOMINATE SOMEONE NEW.. NOW WE KNOW WHY KATHERINE HEIGL DID NOT WANT TO BE NOMINATED THIS YEAR.. SHE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE HER NAME OFF THE BALLOT..

    As usual shows nobody cares about and they wonder why nobody watches awards anymore.
    Except LOST and HOUSE the rest is crap.

    Two & a Half Men is the most pathetically unfunny show with 2 ugly, talentless leading men. Who the hell watches that pile of shit???

    The Wire.
    One lousy nomination for writing.
    This amounts to a snub against The Wire. And this omission proves that when it comes to honoring artistic merit, the Emmys are as meaningful as he Grammys.
