Surprises (AKA, Things I Loved About This Year's Nominations)
- The Killing not nominated for Best Drama Series
- Michelle Forbes and Mireille Enos nominated for acting turns in The Killing (as terrible and uneven the show was, it was always fantastically acted)
- Kathy Bates nominated for Harry's Law
- Kristin Chenoweth and Dot-Marie Jones both landing Guest Actress in a Comedy Series nods for Glee
- The Big Bang Theory finally being nominated for Best Comedy Series
- So You Think You Can Dance sneaking into the Best Reality Competition Series category, as well as Cat Deeley landing a nomination for Best Host and the choreographers getting 5 of the 6 nominations for Best Choreography
- Brian F. O'Byrne nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries/Movie for Mildred Pierce
- Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List getting its final nomination in the Best Reality Program category; hopefully she can win her third Emmy with this nomination
- Katey Segal left out of contention for Sons of Anarchy
- The Walking Dead not nominated in any major categories, but especially should've been present in Best Drama Series and Best Directing for a Drama Series
- Southland left out of all major categories, but especially upset about Shawn Hatosy not being nominated as Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
- No Psych
- No Castle
- No Weeds, despite a major return to form in its sixth season
- Denis O'Hare left out of contention for True Blood, whether it be as Supporting Actor or Guest Actor in a Drama Series
- Jim Carrey not recognized for hosting SNL
- Debra Messing overlooked in Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series category for Law & Order: SVU
- Mayim Bialik overlooked as Best Supproting Actress in a Comedy Series for The Big Bang Theory
- The Big C not nominated for Best Comedy Series, and Oliver Platt overlooked as Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role
- Melissa McCarthy for Best Leading Actress in a Comedy Series for Mike & Molly. Is it because she was so good in Bridesmaids? Or because she was reading the nominations and therefore was nominated by default?
- Alfre Woodard for Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series for True Blood. I didn't even remember her performance, really, and I know she had very limited screen time. Was it really better than Debra Messing's turn on L&O:SVU?
- Jon Cryer for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Two and a Half Men. Forget that the show's not funny, I think the only reason Cryer was nominated was as a big "fuck you" to Charlie Sheen.
