I cannot even begin to describe the horror I’m experiencing at the moment. First of all, Lauren Graham and Kristen Bell were not nominated. Second, Will & Grace, a series that went down the toilet a while ago and has been there ever since–somehow leads the comedies with 10 nominations.

None of the Desperate Housewives were nominated except the just okay Alfre Woodard (whose storyline ruined season 2 by the way) including the very worthy Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria. Jason Lee did not get nominated for breakout comedy hit “My Name Is Earl“, nor did the series get a nod. Where is Golden Globe winner Mary Louise Parker? I’m disgusted. Where’s last year’s winner Patricia Arquette?

Michael C. Hall did not get nominated for Six Feet Under, though I’m willing to forgive that since his co-star Peter Krause did. There is some good news however. House, Grey’s Anatomy, Frances Conroy, and Kyra Sedgwick did all get nominated. Not to mention–finally after years of snubs, Law & Order: SVU’s Chris Meloni garnered a well-deserved nomination.
