The 2009 Emmy nominations are out, and let’s see what we’ve got! My guy Jon Hamm from Mad Men got two nominations - for lead actor, and for his guest starring role on 30 Rock! Tina Fey also got dual performance noms for 30 Rock and SNL. The lead category for actresses in a dramas is so intense - I love every single one of those shows, from The Closer to Saving Grace to Damages. But I’m thrilled beyond belief that Elizabeth Moss got nominated! She’s one of the best parts of Mad Men, and it’s awesome she was recognized. What else? Hugh Laurie is nominated yet again - and he’ll probably win. 30 Rock is probably the biggest darling of the Emmys - just looking at the “guest actor/actress” categories, and 30 Rock dominates:

Oh, my girl Mariska Hargitay was recognized! She’s won before. But no one else from the main cast of Law & Order: SVU is ever nominated, which is a shame. Though Mariska is the “star”, Christopher Meloni does amazing work on that show, as does Ice-T and Richard Belzer in supporting roles. I just transcribed the nominations I found most interesting, but if you’d like to see the full nomination list, go here.
