Awards Shows: 2008 Emmy Nominations Revealed

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences released the nominees for the 2008 Emmy awards! There’s a lot here to be excited about, but some very big disappointments. On the actor front, Battlestar Galactica’s Mary McDonnell and Friday Night Lights’ Kyle Chandler didn’t receive nods after being named finalists in their categories. I’m also sad to see John Krasinksi and Jenna Fischer from The Office didn’t make the cut. For the best series awards, Friday Night Lights and The Wire didn’t receive best drama nominations after making the finalist list. Oh and not to mention Emmy’s stubborn insistence on Boston Legal and Two and a Half Men love! WTF.

That being said, this is a history-making year with the nods to FX’s Damages and AMC’s Mad Men, and a surprising shut-out of HBO for best drama. Which of the nominations deserve the honor? Which ones are you calling bs on?
