Hurray! Another utterly pointless awards ceremony is rolling into our collective consciousness to make us take sides between things that can actually be enjoyed simultaneously!
Of course, the real winners in all of this are America’s coke-dealers and the Emmy Awards is timed perfectly so that the dope pushers will have a really bumper Christmas this year. Plastic surgeons are also stocking up on septum repair kits too. How amazingly heartwarming.
The Emmys, as you definitely know, celebrate the best in American television and will be held on Sunday, September 18th… shown on Fox who everyone hates at the moment. And the big guns making vague headlines are Modern Family (*shrug*) and the utter dross that is The Big Bang Theory. In drama, the wonderful trio of Mad Men, Game of Thrones, and The Good Wife bag several nominations. Let us peer at the rest of the nominations over the jump.
Tina Fey, Steve Buscemi, Jane Lynch, Michael C. Hall, Kate Winslett, Idris Elba, Martha Plimpton and Laurence Fishburne make for some credible names in the nomz, which is all well and good… however… however… what should be the biggest headline is that something so preposterously dreadful that it defies belief, is tucked away amongst the big shots.
Staggeringly, someone, somewhere, has decided to put Matt LeBlanc’s turn in the awful Episodes up for Best Lead Actor.
No seriously. Cat Deeley has a nomination too. Crazy.

Katie Holmes must be bawling her eyes out that she wasn’t nominated for The Kennedys! And after all the wailing she did when the History Channel canned it! Waaaah!
And I’m bawling my eyes out that Nick Cannon wasn’t nominated for best host of the last few years. Although I like Cat, she doesn’t compare to Nick!
