Apparently, the Emmy committee folks have released the finalists for the main categories (thanks to the ever-efficient ONTD for the info). It is unprecedented, yes, but THAT surprising? Not really. Boston Legal, there’s a shocker! Grey’s Anatomy, no way! Desperate Housewives was shut out. Looks like my own favorite comedy, The New Adventures of Old Christine, is also off the list. Damages and Mad Men, though, seriously cool.
These will be narrowed down for the July 17 announcement.
