Los Angeles- The Emmy Award nominations were announced today and to the surprise of nobody, 30 Rock dominated the comedy categories, while Mad Men led the way for drama series.
About the only surprise was the sheer dominance of 30 Rock, which netted a record-setting 22 nominations. The show, which won best comedy series last year, scored Best Actor and Actress nominations for Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.
Mad Men, garnered 16 nominations- including Best Drama, Best Actor (Jon Hamm) and Best Actress (Elisabeth Moss). Hamm, in a crossover role, was also nominated for his Guest Star stint on 30 Rock.
On a sad note, Farrah Fawcett, who never won an EMMY during her life, was nominated for Outstanding Non-Fiction Special for “Farrah’s Story,” the documentary about her battle with cancer.
Along with 30 Rock, the other Best Comedy Series nominees were Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother, The Office and Weeds.
The other nominees for Best Drama Series were Big Love, Breaking Bad, Damages, Dexter, House and Lost.
The Emmys will be broadcast on Sept. 20 on CBS from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, who did a brilliant job as emcee on the recent Tony Awards, has been tapped as the emcee of the Emmys.
