2011 Emmy Nomination Winners & Losers
Where did Betty White, 'Game of Thrones' and 'Justified' end up?
Winner: Critical favorites like 'Friday Night Lights,' 'Parks & Recreation' and 'Justified'
Outstanding drama series nod for "Friday Night Lights"! Outstanding Comedy Series for "Parks & Recreation"! Nominations for "Justified" stars Timothy Olyphant, Margo Martindale, Walton Goggins and Jeremy Davies! There were a lot of critical favorites experiencing breakthroughs on Emmy nomination morning. We still may be waiting for Nick Offerman to get his nomination or for "Justified" to pull off a Drama Series nod, but that's not bad at all.

It's amazing to see how far he's come

July 14, 2011 at 6:08PM EST Reply to CommentI'm a little baffled (though still delighted) that they would give Outstanding nominations to Parks & Rec and Game Of Thrones yet only give them 1 acting nod each. Similarly they rightly gave the 3 acting nods to Justified, yet not the Outstanding nomination that it should have taken from Dexter. I've never really bought into the 'sum of the equals is less than the sum of its parts' analogy.
Yeah it's annoying that Community and John Noble (to name a few) were shut out, while Emilia Clarke was overlooked (that finale would have been an excellent showcase). But they were mainly expected in fairness.
But laziness and awestruck nominations to the likes of Mariska Hargitay (thankfully her last entry) and Betty White actually are something to get angry at. As well as Michael Pitt's absence which I think was the most shocking result.
But hey, it's the Emmys, they're generally morons.

Both great shows in their genre-and though saddled with an unfortunate name, Cougar Town has actually become an awesome comedy. The casts of both shows are just incredible so to be completely snubbed is a joke.

Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that the greatest TV show ever, The Wire, never won an Emmy.
