THE MEN FROM PRICE WATERHOUSE SPEAK: It's Emmy nomination day, and the list is out. Some preliminary notes:
  • Studio 60--5 nominations (casting, cinematography, Direction ("Pilot"), and guest actor for Eli Wallach and John Goodman), Friday Night Lights--a mere 2 (casting and Direction ("Pilot")
  • SYTYCD fans will be glad to see Wade Robson and Mia Michaels both nominated for choreography.
  • Unexpectedly competitive category? Original song, which pits "D**k in a Box" against "Everything Comes Down To Poo" and "Guy Love" (and for the first time in many moons, no nomination for The Simpsons there).
  • Favorites from around here nominated? Steve Carell, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Laurie, Denis Leary, Sally Field, Kyra Sedgwick, Felicity Huffman, Tina Fey, Mary Louise Parker, Neil Patrick Harris, Rainn Wilson, Michael Emerson, Terry O'Quinn, Masi Oka, Jenna Fischer.
  • Grey's gets 4 regular acting nods (Heigl, Wilson, Oh, and Knight), and 2 guest nods (Kate Burton and Elizabeth Reaser as "Jane Doe"), plus numerous nods across the board. Congrats, Shonda!
  • Best Comedy? Entourage, Office, 2.5 Men, 30 Rock, Ugly Betty. Best Drama? Boston Legal, Grey's, House, Heroes, The Sopranos.
  • Top Chef in, Survivor out for "Reality/Competition."
  • Zero love for anything on the CW--nothing for Gilmore or Veronica.

I'm sure there's much more out there--analyze away.
