WOW!!! I'm completely shocked. SHOCKED. seriously. Actually, I'm most shocked that Jemaine was voted for best actor. Never in a million billion trillion years did I think that would happen. Not that I don't believe he's deserving (because he certainly is), it's just... it's the Emmy's! This is HUGE for him as an actor. HUGE. Plus to get enough votes where you're voting between a duo? HUGE!

What about Bret?

I am so 'ucking happy for them. They really worked their 'ucking asses off and they totally deserve this.

I can't wait until Emmy night (and I could usually give a 'uck about Emmy night " title="" border="0"/>)

I love you guys

I'm so excited for Jemaine! Out of all the nominations this makes me happiest.

[url=Heather Havrilesky at Salon][/url] disagrees apparently:

Alec Baldwin of "
30 Rock"
was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, of course, and he'll likely win, unless someone decides that fellow nominee Jemaine Clement is acting when he plays himself on HBO's "
Flight of the Conchords."

I would argue that Alec Baldwin is actually playing a character more like himself than Jemaine.

The Emmys are what really got me lurking last year. Can't wait to participate in the squeeness this time around!

There’s less to complain about in the best comedy series category, mainly because the voters have so many fewer options to choose from. I was all set to bemoan the exclusion of “How I Met Your Mother,” but the academy surprised me and voted it in. In fact, the nominations here represent a sudden, if highly contained, eruption of good taste: “Two and a Half Men” out, “Flight of the Conchords” in and “30 Rock” remaining.

I am SO happy they got this many noms, but I really believe Rhys should have been up for best Supporting. :-/






... But STILL!

[size=100:9m43a4qu]... And we would be remiss if we didn't mention Flight of the Conchords. We nearly passed out from excitement when we saw that the show landed a Best Comedic Series nod and that Jemaine Clement had scored a Best Comedic Actor nomination, but once the initial shock wore off, our hearts immediately went out to his partner in crime, Bret McKenzie. Bret's snub will surely result in a complete rip of the comedy-time continuum, and historians may one day look back at July 16, 2009, as the day when success made a failure of the Conchords' home.

Aww...I would feel more sad if Bret was nominated and Jemaine wasn't mainly because I think of Jemaine as more of the one who primarily acts. (They both deserve the world in our books!)
