Emmy nominations 2012
Pretty much what I would have listed (if asked
)..
Outstanding Comedy Series
- The Big Bang Theory (haven't seen season 5, but seasons 1 to 4 are great)
- Curb Your Enthusiasm (Larry David = God. Fact)
- Girls (No, really really No)
- Modern Family (still packs in more zingers than most. And Sofia Vergara packs in more .. )
- 30 Rock (still great)
- Veep (meh, but has had some good moments)
Outstanding Drama Series
- Boardwalk Empire (started well, less so in Season 2)
- Breaking Bad (Walter White = God. Fact)
- Game of Thrones (Great. It is known.)
- Homeland (for sure)
- Mad Men (meh, haven't seen Season 5, yet)
- Downton Abbey (not my cup of Earl Grey. Prefer Hugh Bonneville in Twenty Twelve)
Lead Actor in a Comedy
- Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock (absolutely)
- Don Cheadle in House of Lies (gave up on it after 3/4 episodes)
- Louis CK in Louie (not really acting, but great nonetheless)
- Jon Cryer in Two and a half men (eh, next please)
- Jim Parsons in Big Bang Theory (yes)
- Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm (prettay prettay good)
Lead Actress in a Comedy
- Lena Dunham in Girls (just don't like that show, regardless of any performance)
- Zooey Deschanel in New Girl (never watched it, reviews were meh)
- Edie Falco in Nurse Jackie (Comedy ? She's just great in anything)
- Tina Fey in 30 Rock (if only for awarding her boyfriend points for calling her Khaleessi)
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep (did the best with what she had)
- Melissa McCarthy for Mike & Molly (never watched it)
- Amy Poehler in Parks & Recreation (definitely yes)
Lead Actor in a Drama
- Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad. The rest aren't worth mentioning. They might as well give the awards ceremony a miss.
Lead Actress in a Drama
- Claire Danes for Homeland. See above
Supporting Actor in a Drama.
- need a three-sided coin to decide between Peter (Tyrion) Dinklage in Game of Thrones, Giancarlo (Gus) Esposito or Aaron (Jesse) Paul in Breaking Bad.
