Figure Office and 30 Rock are locks for a bunch, Two and a Half Men has now graduated to automatic nomination status in several categories. That then leads to the question of how lazy voters are going to be about shows like Entourage, whether Dana Delany was enough to get Desperate Housewives back into Emmy's good graces, whether a large bloc of traditional comedy people decide to push for Back to You to "send a message" about its cancellation, etc.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.com
