2008 Emmy Nominees

"Snotty, condescending Katherine Heigl should be happy, being that not only was she left off the nominations list, but that her show "Grey's Anatomy" wasn't nominated for a Best Drama award. However, everybody's favorite nonsense show "Lost" certainly was, along with the ridiculously overrated "Boston Legal." Also on the list are "Dexter," "House," "Damages" and "Mad Men," which received a whopping 16 nominations. The last two are the very first cable series' nominated for Best Drama.The Comedy Series Emmy is bound to be a tough one, with NBC's two funniest shows ("The Office" and "30 Rock") going head to head for the award, which "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" are up for as well. Best Actress in a Comedy should either go to Mary-Louise Parker for the highly potent "Weeds" or "30 Rock"'s Tina Fey, comedy's reigning queen. Props to Julia Louis-Dreyfus for a nomination, but her time for awards passed with "Seinfeld." In a first for the decades-old it's-good-it's-bad-it's-good-again "Saturday Night Live," someone has been nominated as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy - and that somebody is blonde firecracker Amy Poehler. Poehler's husband, funnyman Will Arnett was also nominated for an award - Best Guest Actor in a Comedy series. He joins Rip Torn, Steve Buscemi and Tim Conway (all for "30 Rock") on the list, as well as Shelley Berman of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

The 2008 Emmy Awards will take place Sept. 21 in Los Angeles.
