Emmy Nominations Announced Today!

This morning, the biggest news around were the Emmy Award Nominations, which is the highest distinction possible for a TV program. The final season of "The Sopranos" kicked some massive butt with fifteen nominations, followed by "Ugly Betty" with eleven.

I have too see these shows although I somehow doubt I'll enjoy them a whole lot. But it's good to find out new things... Other popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy" and comedy "30 Rock" scored ten nominations each. I haven't seen those either, so I'm either picky or just plain stupid.

My favorite shows (4400, Heroes, Eureka and others) were not very popular with the judges, but no matter, I'm gonna watch them anyway. The competition is pretty hot this year, especially between cast and crew from the same series. I hope they don't fight while on the set.

I'll soon come back to this event with a more detailed story but until tomorrow, let's see a list of other nominees!
