Emmy nominations were released on Thursday, and there were quite a few snubs.
First and foremost, the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama" Golden Globe winner Anna Paquin was completely ignored. In fact, her show, True Blood, was more or less ignored in every major category despite the show's enormous and unexpected recent success, scraping up noms in "Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-Camera Series," "Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series," and "Outstanding Main Title Design."Jeremy Piven, who has previously won three Emmys for his role on HBO's Entourage, was ignored by the Academy of the Television Arts and Sciences. Shows like Battlestar Galactica, ER, and The Shield, previously critical darlings of the television world, were wrapped up this year and thus 'forgotten' when it came time to nominate.
Keifer Sutherland of 24 was also forgotten, despite usually being nominated (however, he was nominated for his role in the special 24: Redemption); Mad Men's January Jones was also epically ignored, especially so in the light that, according NYmag.com's Vulture blog, "pretty much owned that shows second season."
