And the Emmy goes to…Lauren Graham!
At least it would in a perfect world. But sadly, Lauren was left off the list again, and that’s just criminal. Just the fact that she talked so fast for seven seasons should have earned her a nod…the fact that her performances were brilliant (even in the shaky seventh season) should have earned her the trophy. You were robbed, Lauren!!

The Emmys always seem to be the same nominees every year. At least this year The Office is getting the recognition is deserves.
Although, I must agree that The CW is extrememly under-represented. As in, it isn’t represented at all. Have they not heard of a little something called Veronica Mars: Season 3: Episode 12: There’s Got To Be A Morning After Pill…
sheer genius.
How come the reality shows don’t get a nod? I was so moved when that gospel choir sang to Marcia because she lost all that weight on Celebrity Fit Club. Is the drama on The Sopranos really more intense than the agony we were put through when Heidi chose Spencer over Lauren “LC” Conrad?
Lastly, did anyone see The Ron Clark Story? Chandler wasn’t that awesome in it. It was a bad movie.

I think Mom should give one of her local Emmys to Lauren Graham. And we could have a ceremony and everything.
I should also note that Meerkat Manor received two nominations.
