    biggest snubs imo
    the Americans drama/Keri Russell lead actress/Matthew Rhys lead actor
    Fargo's Allison Tolman as lead actress in miniseries (just realized Tolman was nominated as a supporting actress, as much the lead as Billy Bob & Martin Freeman but perhaps this gives her a better chance of winning in a less than competitive field)
    Boardwalk Empire - Michael Kenneth Williams/Jeffrey Wright supporting actor

    Hard to find much fault this year. Of course everybody can't be nominated, but it's hard to complain about who and what was.

    I would say Elizabeth Moss or January Jones over Christina Hendrix for Mad Men actresses though.

    never mind scandal why is Big Bnag Theory nominated so much? That show is ? as ? can be. This isn't the 90's where sitcoms with laugh tracks are funny or entertaining.

    What kinda self hating ? is this? You never seen the show, but automatically question and discredit it because it stars a Black person? The show itself is not even nominated, only the lead actress. All the shows with nothing but white people, they legit tho?

    Ive never watched Scandal, but damn.

    Slow your roll ? .
    I've seen the first 2 seasons. It was cool but definitely nothing about it was emmy worthy. I was asking how good it supposedly is cuz from what I've seen it don't deserve the praise...especially not when the americans and boardwalk empire consistently give strong performances on top quality shows.

    Episodes should've been nominated for the whole show, not just Matt Leblac. One of the funniest shows on TV.

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will always be overlooked across the board. Same for Community and Cougar Town.

    Suburgatory also another good one, but cancelled now, along with The Neighbors.

    Surprised Hannibal got no nods AT ALL. Nothing for lead from Mikkelsen? No supporting from Fishburne?

    HBO still kills it without any mention of BE, too. I hope True Detective gets most outstanding and lead actor from McConaughey (personally I don't think Harrelson deserved the nod for TD).

    Kerry Washington went from being a very watchable actress in her movies down right annoying in Scandal. I don't understand her emmy nomination when she overacts the ? out of her role. And every season the more ridiculous or even redundant the story gets the worse her ? expressions are.

    I expect House of Cards to do serious damage.

    They didn't win too much last year, cause Breaking Bad was on the way out, and people wanted to give that show it's last due. Spacey and Robin Wright goin clean up...at least they'd better.

    BB still has 4 nominations this year though and all 4 categories are up against house of cards
