What They Got Right?

In a world of good and bad, lets for once talk about the good first. I was really happy with all the love they gave for Glee. It was already a lock for most categories, but who could've forseen Chris Colfer getting a nod for his supporting performance as Kurt? I guess it's something we overlooked. I also like that the two greatest actors on Lost (Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson) got their final dues. It'll be interesting to see which one, if either of them, wins the prize. Neil Patrick Harris was always a lock for Supporting Actor in a comedy, and Dexter has had too good a year not to be recognized.

What They Got Wrong?

Now on to the bad. Where the hell is John Noble's performance on Fringe? I'm truly sorry, but even people who haven't seen the show must agree that his performance far outscales anybody elses on television. On top of that, how did Vanessa Williams not get nominated for her last year on Ugly Betty. I didn't watch the show this year, but if she kept up the good work she was putting out when I was watching, then she should've been nominated. What about you? What snubs are you most enraged about, because I'm sure there's something I missed.
