No Justified? Sons of Anarchy? Walking Dead? The Killing? Some of these nominations are pretty lame. Guess you have to pay extra for premium cable channels to see "good" television.
Where's the love for the best drama on TV, "Justified" and the best actor in a drama, Timothy Olyphant? Typical politics in everything as the same old, same old gets nominated every year.
HOW COME IF NCIS IS THE#1 SHOW IT NEVER GETS NOMANATED----------------------------
Justified is in a league of its own above and beyond anything nominated for an emmy...Should it have been nominated, it wouldn't be a contest...
