My choices in bold.

I know the Emmys are a bit meh, but there are a lot of shows in there that are watched here.

As usual there's a ridiculous lack of Parks and Recreation and far too much Modern Family loving.
 
Yeah the Parks and Recreation snubs were the only thing that irritated me. I'm starting to fear for the future of that show. Also, Hugh Laurie was not given his annual nomination and no Community at all, but that wasn't a big surprise.

I hope Breaking Bad beats Mad Men.
 
Louie should so get the directing one. That episode was par excellence. Hope he wins the best actor as well just because.
 
Not even nearly enough Louis CK in that list for me. If 'duckling' doesn't win best direction then it will be a travesty.

No nominations for 'the league' which is a bit disappointing.

Hope Giancarlo Esposito wins, though Aaron Paul and Peter Dinklage wouldn't be too bad.

Colbert to beat Stewart this year too.

BB does have some chance of beating MM this season. MM had individually some very strong episodes but a lot did not like the amount of time devoted on Megan.

No nomination for Nick Offerman, stunning.

Hopefully Mad Men will end up swooping the awards.

This alone is worth an award.

As great as BB is I still just don't think anything on TV is on par with Mad Men. This series was probably the best yet.

And yeah, no Ron Swanson, what the feck?
 
Strange... Game of Thrones is off the par according to me... only nominated twice?!?
 
Madmen and Breaking Bad should be joint winners in every category. Nothing else even come sclose
