64th Annual Primetime Emmy Nominations

The nominations for the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced this morning.  While there some of the the usual suspects (Alec Baldwin again?) and wrongful omissions (John Noble on Fringe), and there is very little non-cable network representation, there are actually a lot of new contenders, which is a nice surprise (Claire and Julianna, it's yours to lose...)
