I'm astonished that the worst season of Family Guy did what the best seasons of The Simpsons or South Park couldn't do (and IMO, should have happened in their prime seasons). Is it because FG aren't subtle, at all, with their "messages"?
Well, the Sarah Silverman nod makes me happy.

Mildly bummed that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia got the shaft. Not a perfect show, but one that makes me laugh far more consistently than anything else on TV. At the very least, their season finale should've provided a couple of possibilities for the original song category.
Nomination that made me the most happy (in part because I imagine it pissed off a bunch of Emmy voters): Sarah Silverman's lead comedy actress nod.

Hope Davis is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress - Drama category that I posted.
For the first time in years, I actually really liked what I saw of The Simpsons last season (especially the episodes "Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh" and "Eany, Meany, Maya, Moe" which got Azaria a deserved Emmy nod) but it's painfully past its prime. I don't care that in the long run, it's a better show. This is the first time it's been any kind of good in almost a decade.
I think that aside from Neil Patrick Harris, all of these winners are going to be basically the same old regardless of how decent these nominations are. Mad Men and 30 Rock are going to continue as the new Emmy staples.

Of note: All the pushing did NOT result in a nomination for BSG in Drama Series.
Family Guy becomes the first animated series in history to earn an Emmy nomination for Comedy Series.
And for being the first year of the new voting guidelines and an expansion of the top categories to 6, both the Series categories had more than 6 with both at 7 nominations

Where the hell is True Blood? That is some of the best stuff on television. I'm sick of that same line-up of Best Actress (Drama) although yay for Elisabeth Moss who absolutely killed this season.
I would like to have see Hope Davis nominated for "In Treatment" (although, maybe that's one of the categories you didn't post, Sabin). I thought her Mia this past season was a fantastic, well-rounded and utterly believable creation.
Happy for all the Grey Gardens mentions. Well-deserved.

I'll post the big ones. I'm fairly surprised by some of these. Clearly 30 Rock and Mad Men are going to continue to dominate. As someone who basically watches three or four shows on television, I'm mostly fine with this. I think 30 Rock had some great episodes last year but overall, its arc wasn't as gripping as The Office's, which despite its myriad flaws I found totally compelling. The Flight of the Conchords had a weaker season but I kinda hope that Jemaine Clemente wins.
