    I can’t believe that after so many snubs I’m still shocked when it happens, but Friday Night Lights. Seriously – how is it even possible that they aren’t getting recognized by their peers?? Last week (don’t worry, no spoilers ahead), Connie Britton was so incredible – she showed a range of emotions so clearly just on her face, she didn’t even have to say a word for you to know what she was thinking. It kills me that she’s going largely unrecognized for that show. Kyle Chandler too btw.

    Nicole, I totally get you…SAG-people too lazy to watch some television on their own? Seems like they just took the stupid emmy list.
