In honor of the "Best Comedy" Emmy nod, here's a place to discuss awards and nominations. 

 

First TechCrunch, then the world!

Can I just say how much I love the thread title?

[radishcake]

It's awesome! Great job @morgankobi!

[morgankobi]

Aww, shucks :)

 

I sure hope we have more reason to us this thread down the road. Sad that Christopher Evan Welch didn't get a nom. 

[radishcake]

I was sad about that too. He really was brilliant.

Do they do guest role awards for Comedy at the Emmy's? I don't think I saw that category on the nominee list that I saw. I think the poppy-seed epsiode would have got him a nod.

They sure do, @Traveller519 . Here are this year's nominees for Guest Actor in a Comedy:

 

Steve Buscemi (Portlandia)
Louis C.K. (Saturday Night Live)
Gary Cole (Veep)
Jimmy Fallon (Saturday Night Live)
Nathan Lane (Modern Family)
Bob Newhart (The Big Bang Theory)

As much as I love Gary Cole on Veep (and I DO) I would have liked to have seen this one go to Christopher E. Walsh. Mostly because Gary has been sort of upgraded to a regular cast member. 

[Traveller519]

I concur, radishcake. And as excellent as Do it on My Twin Bed was, I wasn't overall thrilled with Fallon on SNL this go around. My feelings about Modern Family and TBBT and awards have been made, though I feel like those guest spots were worthwhile nominees.

 

Can't comment on Buscemi in Portlandia.
