The Emmys were filled with both joy and disappointment (as usual). During the show I, Nona, wrote the following post which includes some thoughts and comments I had during the red carpet show (seen on Star!), as well as a list of all awards handed out and the winners of those awards (each with a quick comment by me). Enjoy!

Emmy Nominations

On July 8, 2010, in Tv World, by Nona

The Emmy nominations are in and we’re both exited and dissapointed. Once again Bones has been overlooked. Fringe only got one nomination. The Mentalist didn’t get any. Glee, Neil Patrick Harris and Modern Family seem to be the big “winners” out of our favorites. Neil has two individual performance nominations: one as supporting actor in a comedy (along with 4 other amazing (!) actors and one John Cryer *sigh*) as Barney Stinson, and one as a guest actor in a comedy series for his role as Bryan Ryan in Glee (YAAAY!). Flowing are the major categories and the ones of interest for this site (Tv By Nona’s favorites in each category in bold). A link to the full list of nominations can be found at the bottom of the post.
