2011 Emmy Nominations

This year’s Emmy nominations were announced this morning and there was a refreshing amount of variety this year compared to previous year’s when it was the Mad Men show. Mad Men still has a healthy amount of nominations along with the comedic overlord of Modern Family but shows like Justified, Louie, Parks and Rec and The Killing all got nominations for, I’m pretty sure, the first time.
