I'm going to miss "30 Rock" when it's gone after this upcoming season, but I sure wish these types of organizations would recognize original shows like "Community," who are doing something totally bizarre and creative.

**Clark** · 07-19-2012, 10:23 AM

Hugh Laurie (House) should have been nominated.

**CyFan61** · 07-19-2012, 10:24 AM

I'm really hoping that Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, and Aaron Paul can all win. Although I would take Giancarlo Esposito over Paul, as well.

**RyCy04** · 07-19-2012, 10:29 AM

Nick Offerman snubbed again. I agree that Community should be nominated as well.

Ron Swanson is easily one of my favorite characters on TV right now.

I couldn't have said it better. Giancarlo was 100% perfect for that role.

I would like to see Louis CK win. That guy is awesome in my opinion.

Exactly. And I think if John Noble were giving the same performances on a regular drama he would be nominated every year. I guess since it's a sci-fi show he must not be any good.

...Which is funny, since shows that get rabid followings must be doing something right.

I'm a little surprised "American Horror Story" hasn't gotten any love. I only watched one episode because it freaked me out, but there are some amazing performances on there.

It got a ton of nominations under the Movie or Miniseries category. I didn't post all those because I thought the list would get a little long. I agree though, great show.

Ah, I didn't see that. Good, they definitely earned them. The cast does a great job of conveying the depth of emotions of those characters.

Community was nomintated for writing for the "Remedial Chaos Theory" episode. That was the episode about the alternate timelines. Loved that one.

They definitely earned the writing nomination, I just wish they'd be up for the bigger awards, like best comedy series.

It's a struggle with that show. I know a few people that watch it. I recommend it all of the time and it seems that nobody listens. Now, it's being moved to Friday nights. So, that's pretty much the kiss of death.

I still think my favorite episode is the 1st Halloween special where Pierce dressed and Beastmaster and Abed was Batman.
