This Emmy season was a particularly dry spell for genre shows and geek offerings, but one old and one (relatively) new show made for us did get a tip of the hat!
Lost was nominated as best drama, with Michael Emerson (aka Ben Linus) picking up a Best Supporting Actor in a Drama nod, while the Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Christine Baranski got nominations for Best Actor and Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
This is some sad news for Battlestar Galactica fans, who were pushing for the series to get some sort of major recognition by the Academy. Curious about the rest of the list? Click here.

Pushing Daisies got 5, that’s a bit sad knowing that this show was/could have been so much more.

I’m still in shock that Nascar Heroes #5 got an Emmy nod.
There’s something suspicious about that.

Family Guy was nominated for Best Comedy series, too. I’m amazed by that, but not in a good way.
But hey, Michael J. Fox was nominated for his role on Rescue Me. So all is right with the world.

I’m not surprised at Battlestar Galactica getting snubbed. This is, after all, the same folks that ignored the final season of The Shield, and worse still, never gave The Wire a single award in its entire run.

I hope this is the year that Michael Emerson finally gets recognized for his work on Lost… Ben Linus is already one of the all-time great villains.
That’s assuming he IS a villain. Here we are, just one season to go, and I’m still not sure!
