Prison Break should have received an ensemble nom.

I'm glad they didn't go all out Housewives with the actress category.

Also glad to see a nomination for Six Feet Under's last season.

Glad for Kiefer, Lost, Ian McShane, Six Feet Under, Arrested, Earl's 2, and Alan Alda.

Boo for leaving out Jennifer Garner, Prison Break, 24 for drama or ensemble, and Deadwood for ensemble or drama.

As big a fan as I am, I too agree I'm a bit glad they didn't go all out but Marcia Cross was just plain robbed. She is the grounding core of the show and can't believe she went unrecognized.

Great that only Huffman was included. Heaton and Parker deserved spots and I'm glad they got them.

And isn't Boston Legal a drama?? It has been for the past two years for everything.

That goes to show how uneven and bipolar the dang show is.

Also. Go: Casts of Lost & Grey's Anatomy, Mariska Hargitay.

Wow, I completely missed Mariska Hargitay on there. I had thought they forgot her! Great that they didn't, though.

Awesome for Boston Legal - 4 nominations Go Shat, go Bergen, and go Spader.


Best. Show. On. Television.

Mav #2?

The second I read this post, it gave a Boston Legal commercial on TV. The exact same time!!
Michael J. Fox is coming to BL? IS it a guest stint or something like Glen Close?

*gasp*

It's the best show on TV!
