2010 Emmy Nominations

The 2010 Emmy Nominations were released this morning! Celebrate! For once, the snubs aren't maddening! There are certainly snubs, but each category is incredibly strong this year, reflecting what an astounding year this was in television. Below are what I consider the "big" awards (excluding miniseries, television movies, and reality television). Under each category, the actor or show I want to win is in bold; this is not necessarily who I think will win. The telecast is Sunday, August 29th at 8:00pm on NBC.
