As a fan of television I always feel like I should care more about the Emmy’s, but honestly I really don’t.
There is so much television out there that I enjoy for so many reasons and TV awards just don’t come close to capturing that. The categories are too specific (how many shows are really a comedy or a drama?), judging on an episode doesn’t accurately tell me about a season, esoteric channels and shows are almost always overlooked, and certain shows or actors somehow become the darling of the Emmy noms and either don’t warrant or outlive their Emmy-worthiness.
So that said, if you think they’re worth a gander have a look at the top cats. And if you want a little more, check out the Emmy site for the rest: http://www.emmys.com/nominations

penny is really cute in The Big Bang Theory, great comedy tv series too`”*
I think it would be a great idea to call the Emmy Award the “FASHIONS”.. iTS no wonder teenagers still fight with their self-esteem issues when award shows pay more attention to the way women look then then talent they bring to the industry. Women critizing women about the way they look. Is it more important for the actresses to win an Emmy or to get a good review from the fashion magazine I think thatthe fashion industry will have to look for new standard in the future
penny is just so adorable in the big bang theory-:`
the Big Bang Theory is the best geek-chick TV series that i have watched, the guys are really funny
