Every fucking time I see Community get excluded from best comedy, and Big Bang Theory included, I want to burn the entire motherfucker down. Repeat that for Donald Glover vs the entire cast of modern family. They should just go ahead and award Best Actor to Bryan Cranston now and keep it coming for the next 5 years even if he’s not on TV in that time. ---

Nice to see _Homeland_ get some nominations. I love _Breaking Bad_, but it’d be great to see _Homeland_ win best drama. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig are both nominated in Supporting/Comedy for SNL. Have any SNL actors been nominated for acting Emmys before? Amy Poehler was nominated in 2008 and 2009 while she was still on SNL at the very least. ---

> [@](#): > > Best guest actor in a drama series > Mark Margolis, Breaking Bad > Dylan Baker, The Good Wife > Michael J. Fox, The Good Wife > **Dickie Bennett, Justified** > Ben Feldman, Mad Men > Jason Ritter, Parenthood I see [Jeremy Davies](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001111/) did such a good job that they thought Dickie Bennett was a real person. ---

Also, Eddie Murphy got the nomination back in '83 (losing to Christopher Lloyd, as Revered Jim Ignatowski). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/emmy-nominations/628726.md?page=1)
