Emmy nomination thoughts:

I can’t say I’m surprised by the Fringe snubbing to be honest. It sucks, but I’m not baying for blood, which is perhaps a reflection of how realistic I thought the chances were in the first place. *sigh*
Community on the other hand I thought had more of a shot, but no. Nothing at all. That really sucks.
While the inclusion of John Noble would have made it perfect (no offence Andre Braugher, I’m sure you’re great) the Supporting Actor - Drama category is pretty damn awesome. Josh Charles. Alan Cumming. Peter Dinklage. John Slattery. Hell yes.
In fact all The Good Wife nominations were awesome.
Two nominations for Idris Elba. Yes! I support him getting any recognition. (I should really watch Luther, shouldn’t I?)
Of course Gwyneth got a Guess Actress nom. *sigh*
No NPH or Jason Segel. :(
Johnny Galecki?
Yay Martha Plimpton. I don’t watch her show I’ll admit but she’s been awesome in everything else I’ve seen her in.
I love Hugh Laurie but really, still?

Schadenfreude section:

No noms for True Blood’s awful S3 (exception: I’d have been okay with Dennis O’Hare getting one).
Lea Michelle and Matthew Morrison both didn’t get acting noms.

Ridiculous fangirl section:

Josh was adorable in his waistcoat and him in Melissa were great together. I loved him congratulating her.
Also, my guess behind the excessive smiling? Well he is a pretty cheery dude, but also caffeine. A lot of it. He was probably up at 4am and I would be surprised if he’s a morning person. ;)
I’ve seen a lot of ‘Why was Josh even there if Fringe got nothing?!’ and to be honest, I think a FOX show had to be represented because the telecast is on FOX this year and it might have just been a nod to a show they realise won’t get awards love but has a cult fanbase. Joel McHale did it last year and Community got nothing as far as I know. *shrugs* I was just happy to see him ngl.
