Glee Dominates this Year’s Emmy Nominees

Here’s the list of the nominees for the 62nd Emmy Awards, going down on August 29, hosted by Jimmy Fallon. As expected, new dramas Glee (19 noms!), Modern Family, and The Good Wife earned multiple nominations — including for Lea Michele, Matt Morrison, Chris Colfer, and every adult cast member of Modern Family but Ed O’Neill — and perennial nominees 30 Rock and Mad Men got nods as well. Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Neil Patrick Harris, Christine Baranski, and Jane Lynch got two acting nominations each, for their steady gigs plus guest work, Conan’s The Tonight Show was nominated, while Jay’s was not (take that!), and Betty White is totally going to win for SNL hosting job. Delivering a bittersweet Best of all, Friday Night Lights’ long ignored, awesome leads, Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler, were both finally nominated. Hooray!
