That's disappointing I was hoping for Kevin of course but I am kind of shocked about Sandra.

I time I read the nominations, I just realized that Grey's Anatomy is officially "banned" by Emmys forever. I'm not that surprised about that though, since, to be honest, GA materials fell flat this year. Even though how good Kevin and Sandra were, there's no way they can compete with those actors in hardcore roles.
That said, Emmys is, as I said before, an award that I respect the least. And I can confirm my feeling as I found out that the Big Bang Theory has SO few nominations. It's good to hear that Glee got so many nominations, but TBBT without Best Comedy Series but Nurse Jackie? That's like "WTF?" And as long as I love Hugh Laurie, is for SO long that Emmys has owed him an award, and I sense that they are not going to give him one, not for even once. However, they still nominated him! For god sake! I think Hugh will be feel better if he's not nominated, because it's just making him having to attend the ceremony every year, but expect not to get the award over and over and over again. Now I'm kind of glad that Kevin is out of this bloody award because I can tell you, he would be like the second Hugh if he start getting nominations! I rather him getting nominated through another show (a mini-series or a tv movie).

This time I was sure that Kevin and Sandra were out of the nominations.

To be honest, I didn't really expect Kevin to be nominated, as much as he did his best at Season 6, the Storyline was just not strong enough like the PTSD SL was (shame that he wasn't nominated last year oO). Still I'm really disappointed. And Chandra and Sandra didn't get a nom as well. That's wrong. oO

I don't follow the Emmys all that much but it seems like you will generally get a nom when your show is brand new (grey's in the early days, glee etc) or has just ended after a long run (the sopranos, LOST). There are some exceptions to that but it's as much about popularity and sentimentality as it is about actual skill and acting chops.

I wish they'd have sandra in the lead actor category to me she has surpassed supporting actress these last two years. It always divides the vote when she's in the same category as Chandra. I know they submitted EP for lead actress, though I don't necessarily believe she had the same amount of good material as Sandra did with Kevin. that's just me.

It's so sad that neither Kevin nor Sandra got recognized for their fabulous work. It does seem like the Emmys ignores sinking ships like GA.
It was a nice consolation prize to see that some of my other favorite shows and actors did get recognized. If I don't get to see Kevin at the Emmys at least I'll get to see Hugh Laurie up there in a tux...yummm.

As happy as I am for my shows especially Modern Family, I think Grey's getting snubbed sends a huge message. I will say the emmys are always predictable. If anything good comes from this I hope this at least causes the GA writers to re-evaluate the route they took in S6 and step up their game. If its any consolation Matt Roush said in his column he wished SO and CW were at least nominated.

Don't understand the Emmy hate. Sandra being nominated 5 times is clear to me they like and respect her work. The other actresses have been given better writing on the other shows so they got a nomination in front of her, nothing sinister. None of the others nominated are undeserving for me. Lost isn't a new show and is getting some Emmy love, True Blood is a fantasy show something Emmy usually ignores but has given them some love. As great as Sandra and Kevin are if you take the writing Kevin has been given and put it against the writing John Slattery gets in Mad Men, I'm sorry but it isn't anywhere near the same level and thats the problem.
I think this is a wake up call to ABC and Shonda that she is doing her actors a diservice with the tripe she is giving them. Chandra, Sandra and Kevin are world class and on any other show would be winning awards. Awards are important because they bring in offers for the actors. The Emmy Katherine recieved boosted her exposure and helped with offers.
As for Sandra submitting in the lead actress section, she can do that as there are no rules against it.

The Emmys are just a glorified popularity contest for TV. But from time to time, the Emmys favor certain shows and actors for several years. 30 Rock is an example of a show getting consistently nominated and winning yet even though I love the show, I would rather have seen Chuck or Community nominated. My point is that the way the categories are set up and how they determine nominees is not done fairly. I get that those who are nominees have the votes, etc. Yet I think allowing multiple nominees from the same show be in the same nomination category is not fair to others. For example even though I LOVE Modern Family, and I am happy they got so many noms, I don't think its fair that more than one actor gets in the same category. It takes away chances from others who have paid their dues. I think they should go by which of them from the same series gets the most votes, instead of putting them in the same category or have a tie breaker if need be.
This is my problem with the emmys. Even though they may love Sandra's work, I think if she was in the Lead Actor category she'd have a much better chance to actually win. I know the actors submit themselves in the categories they see fit. I also agree with you on the John Slatterly on Mad Men aspect vs. Kevin on GA. I am a devout Mad Men fan and if Kevin could get even a glimmer of the material on GA that John gets consistently I would be happy. The actors on GA are making due with what choppy material they are given, but I think next year GA is going to either have to step up or step aside. I'd be content with either out come. At least when S5 ended I thought it could only get better, now I'm not so sure.

Sorry, but in my humble opinion, the Big Bang Theory tops Chuck and Community, and seriously, FAR better writing than some other nominated comedy series, and it's OBVIOUS. To me, THAT'S my problem to the Emmys. The decisions in their nominations make people doubt their credibility as the most important award in the industry. Some of the nominations are already worn-out, and in order to lift up the energy of the industry in order to urge people to watch more TV, they should nominate more new shows. That's what the Emmys should be about. At least, in my opinion, the Office should already off the nominees' list.
And for years, they gave James Spader over Hugh Laurie for Best Actor. Come on! The materials are not even comparable, the acting from both actors are distinctively in different level, and again, it's OBVIOUS! Starting from that, I've already lost respect to the award. You may say I'm irrational and subjective, but when you figure that at the same season Hugh got the Golden Globes and the SAG, you just scratch your head with bewilderment.

I so agree, George. Big Bang Theory is so much better written than the majority of other shows. And, yeah, what is with the whole James Spader winning thing? He's great, but you're right, it's a totally different show than House.
Judging by the disparaging comments Craig Ferguson is always making about the Emmys, I can't help but wonder if most actors feel the same.

Putting this here as its re Emmys and its a Question from Marrymeowen ... interesting response from Matt
Question: I think the Emmys made some great choices for nominees this year, such as the many nods for Modern Family, where I was happy to see Julie Bowen get a nod after loving her since Ed. Of course there's Mad Men and Breaking Bad, along with other nominations well deserved. My issue has to do with two major snubs, at least in my view. The first is Sandra Oh, who I felt had a solid year on a very uneven season of Grey's Anatomy, in spite of the love triangle from hell. I think she is consistently good, no matter what material is thrown her way. She had some Emmy-worthy moments. Kevin McKidd and Sandra Oh did have a few well-written scenes, but they did not get enough great scenes together for being one of the show's most popular couples. I truly hope Sandra Oh will consider putting her name in the Lead Actress category next year because I think that when she's in the same category as Chandra Wilson as Supporting Actress, the votes end up getting divided. Plus I think she is more of a lead actress at this point.
With regard to Ed O'Neill's snub at the Emmys, I felt bad for him, but Modern Family is such a great ensemble show that I think his time will come soon enough. It's just hard to see a TV veteran like him not get his due. Modern Family especially makes me wish the Emmys would consider a juvenile category like the daytime Emmys have. So many great child actors are on TV that don't get acknowledged until adulthood, if they still manage to have a career. It's kind of a pity. — Maya
Matt Roush: Regarding the Emmys, I think you pretty much have to accept that Grey's Anatomy's time has come and gone. There was some very good work this last season, especially by Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson, but the show has been so damaged by its jump-the-shark season of Denny's Ghost and upstaged by all the turmoil of Katherine Heigl's departure, among other tabloid scandals, that the industry just doesn't seem to take it very seriously any more. It's hard to argue against most of the actresses in the supporting category from shows like The Good Wife, Mad Men and Damages, and even Sharon Gless is a nice surprise, although her Burn Notice role isn't nearly as meaty as what they give Cristina or Bailey in a normal season. It's an unfair snub, but I think Grey's just has too much baggage anymore. (It probably doesn't help that it's yoked to the dreadful Private Practice.) And I don't think it would help for Sandra Oh to put herself in the lead actress category. That would probably be seen as hubris. She's part of a large ensemble, and it would be a stretch to consider her the star over, say, Meredith.
