And the 2008 Comedy Emmy Nominees Are…
July 17, 2008 by Chandra
Earlier today, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the finalists for this year’s 60th Primetime Emmys ceremony, which is scheduled to air on Sunday, September 21. Just taking one swift look at the results of the long road to these ultimate contenders makes it obvious that 30 Rock rocks, at least to academy voters. Scroll down to the Guest Actor and Actress in a Comedy Series categories if you really want to see what I mean.
On another note, I’m thrilled to see both Neil Patrick Harris and Rainn Wilson among the supporting actor nominees. I hope one of them is victorious on the big night.
