In my euphoria over Neil Patrick Harris hosting the event, I never thought that once again my beloved Friday Night Lights would not get a mention. Do you see FNL on this list? Nor do I! What do you think of the nominations? Obviously this is a short list. I posted what I had (just enough to know that my show was screwed).

Passed over once again and it's so good! I'm glad about NPH and hope Jim Parsons wins for his category.

What's Breaking Bad? I've never heard of it. I can't watch Damages after trying a few times. Glen Close's character is so cold and mean with no redeemable qualities, which means she's a good actress. I just don't want to spend my time watching her character.

It's just not right! FNL definitely deserves a nomination--heck, it deserves to win!
