My loudest squeal? Cat Deeley! Cat Deeley - by far, my favorite reality TV host - finally gets a nomination - her first. Jesse Tyler Ferguson (himself a nominee this morning) as guest judge on last nights broadcast - acknowledged that he really hoped Cat got nominated this morning and she turned the greatest shade of red. I was hoping too! I was hoping too! Now, I'm really hoping she wins it.
Runner-up squeals:
Josh Charles - you'll always be Dan Rydell to me - but how I love you as Will Gardner on the Good Wife - the tension works with Julianna Margulies because of you and not everyone can go toe to toe with her. First Time nominee - yay!
Friday Night Lights, Friday Night Light, Friday Night Lights! First time nomination in the Best Drama category - this show is going out with a bang! Its Final season was fantastic and I have loved this series from the very beginning. And - I know they were nominated last year - but so happy to see Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler back on the list. Connie Britton's Tami Taylor remains one of my all-time favorite wife/mothers on television. And Kyle Chandler - well - he is one of my all-time favorite EVERYTHINGs. Coach Taylor, Sheriff Lamb, Gary Hobson and never has blowing up looked so good - as when Kyle Chandler did it as Dylan Young on Greys.
Melissa McCarthy - Sookie is nominated for an emmy - fresh off her hilarious turn in Bridesmaids - Melissa McCarthy is nominated for Mike & Molly - and really she does an amazing job with mediocre material. I've always thought her to be funny - really funny. And since she was announcing this morning - she gave her best guffaw at her own surprise nomination - and became quite disheveled... in that moment, I squealed and thought she's either really surprised or a really good actress.
Ed O'Neill - when pretty much every major actor on Modern Family was nominated last year, Ed was left off the list. And while it may not be shocking to some that he was never nominated for Married...With Children, the Academy has corrected this gross over-look from last year. Ed's portrayal as the Patriarch of this Modern Family is hilarious. Yay for his first ever nomination!
So You Think You Can Dance finally gets nominated in the Best Reality show competition category. Finally! My favorite one gets some acknowledgement. Also - I have to admit - I squealed at Travis Wall getting nominated for best choreography! He was a contestant on this show not too many years ago - but he really is a fantastic choreographer on the show now. Good luck as he goes head to head with Mia Michaels, Tabitha & Napolean, Stacey Tookey, Mandy Moore and Mark Ballas. My hope is for Nappy Tabs or Travis - though Mia's brilliance will probably win it. All these choreographers and Cat Deeley - it was a good morning for SYTYCD!
Dot-Marie Jones! amazing as Coach Biest on Glee. She is the reason, I'm so glad that Glee was nominated for Best Casting. Her first and well-deserved nomination. There could be no one else who could play Coach Biest!
Johnny Galecki - First Time nominee, Johnny Galecki - love him as the "straight" man, Leonard to Sheldons hilarious OCD craziness on The Big Bang Theory. I love the steady growth in popularity on this show. I love these nerds. Never before has geekiness been so cool. Jim Parsons and the show are also nominated. I'm totally pulling for a repeat win for Parsons - and I never want repeats...that is how much I love his Sheldon.
Kathy Bates, Oscar winner - shes no stranger to award shows - in fact - if you go to her imdb page you have to scroll down quite a long way to even get to the Emmys section of her awards page- she's been nominated for a few emmys for mini-series and guest roles, but never won. I love her as Harry's Law - somehow I love it even more -knowing Harry was written for a man and she made it work and all her own. She has me wondering how many other Oscar winners have been nominated for Emmys this year. Kate Winslet, Paul Giamatti, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cloris Leachman, Maggie Smith, William Hurt, Matt Damon, and Melissa Leo off the top of my head are all Oscar winners and are nominated for 2011 Emmy...lots of Oscar nominees are among the Emmy nominees - And lots of Oscar nominated actors now up for Emmy: Laura Linney, Taraji P Henson, James Woods, Joan Cusak, Elizabeth McGovern, Mare Winningham, Tom Wilkinson, Mary McDonnell, Alfre Woodard, Diane Lane, Greg Kinnear and Christopher Plummer to name a few and suddenly I'm realizing that Oscar and Emmy winner Sally Field is not nominated this year. And hey, there are a few Tony winners in these nominees 2 on The Good Wife: Christine Baranski and Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth and Nathan Lane obvious Tony winners as well and there are probably a few more. Now, I wonder are there any Grammy winners? At least one - my boy (yes, I do call him, my boy), JT, Justin Timberlake and more I'm assuming. Hmm...I may do some research on all this award show in-breeding.
Okay, so what if there are only 2 Best Dramas from Network TV nominated for Best Drama - so what if there are 4 from Cable! Cable TV is taking over! But, I have to say, I'm not really a cable show viewer - so it make my picks that much easier.
So much new blood in this race - welcome to many other first time Emmy nominees: Paul McCrane (seriously - I love this guy - even if he did scare me on ER), Zach Galifinakas, Joan Cusak, Elizabeth McGovern, Guy Pearce, Brenda Strong (finally, an emmy nod for the best part of Desperate Housewives, her amazing voice overs - show would not be the same without her), Julia Stiles, Elizabeth Banks, Evan Rachel Wood, Bruce Dern, Peter Dinklage, Loretta Devine (How divine!), Taraji P Henson, Greg Kinnear, Melissa Leo and Gwyneth Paltrow to name a few! Whew!
I love this stuff! I love the nominees. I love the new blood, new faces. Only thing to have made this morning better - were if my beloved Cougar Town had received any love at all...Any...especially that Courteney Cox and Busy Phillips. I can't even bring myself to consider any other snubs this morning - I'm too happy!
PS - Wow! Cloris Leachman was nominated for her 22nd time this morning and has won 8 Emmys. Betty White is not far behind her with her 17th nod with 5 wins, and surprisingly Alfre Woodard received her 16th commendation this morning and has won 4 times. Talk about Emmy LOVE!
